The Sea Shepherds Close In On Mysterious Government Ship | Whale Wars 

I know right, the 1.5 meter high lettering wasn't loud enough?

it's not government though, it's a hired private security force by the institute of Cetacean Research. because "Research" is so lucrative that they can afford 3 harpoon vessels, 1 fueling vessel, 1 Processing vessel and 1 Security vessel. they just put Government on it, as a form of physiological warfare.

Aye!

I’ve never seen such an accurate description

Exactly

@@BethyCaraBethy I've never seen such a stupid comment... it's totally inaccurate. "Hippies" my ass ! No long hairs, nobody on drugs, nobody's very young... well : nothing like this. These are people who don't like others people killing protected species, that's all. Stop your bullshit, you & the first comment author.

Steve was planning on joining sea Shepard, but he unfortunately was killed helping protect nature

Yeh a Stingray got him. God rest his soul.

Damn didn't know that, kinda surprised he would join this joke of an organization but I guess he probably knew something I don't about them.

Diversity Is Our Strength Sadly TV Depicts Sea Shepherd as this aggressive force but they are doing what they can to protect Wales from illegal activity that is protected by Japan the UN has ruled that wailing on the level that Japan do is illegal but Japan keeps saying that it is for research purposes SS are trying to protect the Wales maybe not in the best way but trying to protect this endangered creture

@@jordanbrown7377 Japan resumed commercial whaling last year, they no longer hide behind the 'research' signs. Japan never signed the whaling treaty, they are not breaking any international law by whaling. Norway and Iceland also still catch whales for food.

Chris Steer they get a lot of donations, a lot.

I love animals and the wild but I wouldn’t give money to these clowns to do this.

@@chrissteer3733 Pam Anderson lol

@@chrissteer3733 The level of disrespect of wildlife by calling them clowns is completely baffling, these dudes are basically fighting a war out there to protect the disintegrating species of whales and sharks in our oceans from the Multi-Billion dollar industry of rich Asian motherfuckers eating shitty soups made with fins from sharks and whales. These dudes risk their lives, not just their lives but all their equipment, their families, these camera crews, etc etc. because what they're doing isn't just for show, its to show the world the truth.

Bob Barker presumably, they named the ship after him/

Good joke but there is some progress. The whalers were losing too much money, using their satellite to spy on Sea Shepherd's fleet and attempted to build another Nisshin Maru, that they've gave up whaling in Australia's Whale Sanctuary in 2018.

@@chalexen2862 just started again though sadly

@@Thatsanicesunrise But its not taken place in Antarctic waters. Not anymore. They're only doing it in Japan's waters for now.

@@blackjack8556 well as an active member of amnesty I'm currently in kashmir saving lives. Whst about you?

You obviously have not a single clue how radar and navigation on the sea works. I love how you're pretending to find something funny that you don't know anything about though.

You’ve got no idea how radar works . The helicopter could have flown out of radar range and then changed course .

A shitty political comment.

@@skooshmcskooshington8437 you would be flying for a long time to get of radar range . Radars are huge

@@pacingazmuri Rader resolution fades closer to the horizon and smaller objects. The Pilots knows the radar ranges.

Because if it wasnt no one would watch the shoe since in a majority of the episodes nothing happens so it would be so boring

What would be the point of making it boring?

because it was filmed by Animal Planet, as a reality series, so to dramaticize what is going on to make it more entertaining for their viewers. Seashepherd had nothing to do with the filming of these series, they were just paid by animal planet to accommodate their film crews and feed them for the duration of the campaigns.

I agree, Lets through red paint at them

Ww3 commences

Where they are is technically apart of Australia's southern whale sanctuary where any kind of whaling is forbidden, but the Japanese operate under a research loophole. What they are doing is 100% legal

​@@Coffee43A actually, they never thrown a single bottle of paint into the Shonan Maru.

@@oliversanderson5131 Captain Do fuss 1 & 2 think they are the mall cops of the sea. Thank goodness it’s over and there was no (human) death from the incompetence and being a menace to navigation. If they by chance have a master license, is should be pulled and time in jail would appropriate.

Lol yep these people have no brains ! Typical of those types of people , they think they no everything! And try to force there life on every one else!

@@americanadventureoutdoors4213 Hey! It works. I haven't eaten whale in...well...ever!

Their menu is full vegan on the ships

jackelracer593 I think I’d go crazy

Tyler Hosek i would too id bring a yeti cooler full of a fresh pork and beef

The showers never turn on either

Why bring along meat when youve got a boat full of grass fed sheep

They do have showers on board. Why be such an ass. They r protecting fish and food that u eat. I’m vegetarian. Normal weight. Probably healthier then u.

@@guardiansanimalrescuestate7289 Just because they have showers, doesn't mean they use them. There is a town near me with a bunch of hippies, and we always joke when it rains that they are being forced to take a shower, because they clearly don't use their showers.

v12tommy just because they are trying to save marine life doesn’t mean that they don’t care for themselves.

@@guardiansanimalrescuestate7289 Trying to save marine life? They are a bunch of grandstanding morons who should be charged with terrorism.

v12tommy I don’t always agree with their methods. But they are giving their lives to saving marine life. Mostly the endangered life. I mean if u eat any kind of fish, then enjoy it while u can. Because they r being so over fished as well as the endangered species, that we will run out of fish. I personally don’t eat any meat. Some due to animal cruelty in life and in death. But I also have a disease called gastroperesis. It’s a paralyzed stomach. Basically if I eat, the food sits in my stomach and doesn’t digest or move out of the stomach. So I get very very sick and throw up for hours. So I have a feeding tube with two ports. One I put my liquid ensure into, and the other is to drain anything like digestive juices. But I never ever have liked the smell or taste of any fish or marine animal at all. But my main point is if not for people like them, we would run out of fish. Biologists have proven that since lockdown for a few months, marine life has made a huge comeback. They said it goes to show that the oceans r being over fished and we will run out and end many species.

So are you on the side of massacring endangered whales?

@@carrolanncarter-sladek9132 how does my comment in any way shape or form say that I’m on the side of hunting endangered whales?

I mean it's not like the ship doesn't have a IFF transponder

They're all grown ups. They both know what they're getting themselves into. To defend either side is ridiculous honestly. Both are risking their lives, both are acting illegally, and both sides sound retarded crying about who's right or wrong. If you shoot at me with a gun and I run to my neighbors house kick in the door and steal his AR-15 to defend myself regardless of how the gun fight turns out I'm still expecting a breaking and entering charge as well as a theft of a firearm charge as well. Wrong is wrong under any circumstances, and both sides are heavily in the wrong. Message to both sides, you reap what you sow.

Back when I was in middle school and this was antenna television. I watched it all the time because it was always on. Now I see sea Shepard for what it really is

I am sorry you are/were that weak minded.

Hooray death to the whales

"Terrorist offense"? Lol, it wouldn't take a lot to sink a whaler ship if you were a decent engineer and knew what you were doing. I can assure you that its not in the best interests of the japanese to categorize eco-activism as terrorism and to use any kind violent action to stop them.

And brains

@@nightfury8440 eco terrorism at its finest....should've torpedoed the Irwin and the others long ago.....

@@paulcarlson5641 totally fine with letting the largest mammals in the world go extinct because you are concerned with man made legal constraints. ain't nobody that you know being hurt by them aggressively going after poachers or whalers in international waters.

@@thermotesticles2453 sorry I just don't believe in others attacking others using terrorist tactics and also Japan never signed the international treaty for hunting them sooo you can't hold them to your preceived illegal hunting but hey I'm just a traveler through this world and yes I don't give a fuck about any creature here all will come to an end eventually... And also don't give a shit about politics either just don't like terrorist of any kind even if they try to portray themselves as "environmental peacekeepers"

@@Docder_ see we won't ever hear about it , or they will be play the ultimate victim

That’s great just keep killing innocent whales are endangered

Are you kidding me. I don’t know what country you’re from. But they’re breaking into national sanctuary whale refuge and I wish our government would enforce laws

@@carrolanncarter-sladek9132 I'm a American from America where all humans have rights. You can't jeopardize a humans life for a fish. If it was me I'd start shooting and that's one thing I know about very well. After being a soldier and going to war then doing 20 years as a cop. Force on force that's how you solve this issue. But these fish loving asshole wouldn't ram another boat. They'd only have to kill one person or sink one boat and that be it for them Jack asses.

And the Sea Sheperds are the one who turn off their AIS as soon as they leave port

HAHA YOU SMELL NOW *gets harpooned in half*

Oh u want thousands of whales to be hunted ur a good guy aren’t u

PowerOf One no u

They are just stupid. They love whales!

It's nice to see somebody else who recognizes that the adi gil was under power and put itself in that position to be hit.

@@christrombley1498 Yes it is! I dont like disgusting Whaleasslikers!🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👋🏻

@@menschgebliebeneraugenausd5433 Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in lawless hunting but I also don't believe if the approach that these clowns are using to approach the situation. Running in to an ice breaker or putting your own ship in a position to be hit is idiocy. Abide by the COLREGS, document illegal activity with helicopters or drones (lawfully) and pursue any illegal activity through proper means.

@@christrombley1498 Not the baddest Point at all. But i dont think Whaling is unlawful or generally regless. This Whalehunters know what they do. They dont hunt endangered whalespecies. And they eather know about the numbers left, on each species they'r hunting.

I believe they sail under a european nations flag so technically they are not pirates.

can u post some links about this i cant found any info. thanks

@@andresjuan8772 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Sh%C5%8Dnan_Maru_2 or just type in Shonan Maru 2 on Google and it will provide links to every article.

Thanks for the info fam!

Aaron Peavler/Geomodelrailroader Railroad Photography you mean where the Gil decided to pull out in front of a Japanese ship? Yeah...the whaling will continue

kcimb they have significantly reduced the amount of whales slaughtered, and you’re wrong one day they will no longer kill whales.

Gerald Gitau Lmao

"Scum of the World united; against Japan Fishermann!"...ohhhh those disgusting Whaleasslikers!!

Right they are complete idiots. They get absolutely nothing accomplished.

registered a motor yacht so as to not have qualified crew however have a sailing master ,in my day at sea the master would not allow all that bullishit with all these people on his bridge.most incompetent set of individuals.

They are not illegal ships. They are Japanese flagged vessels. Conducting whaling operations in international waters. If they were really violating a nations waters to poach whales, that nation would use military and coast guard to arrest them. Like they do for Orange Roughy poachers. There is no authority to stop them.

@@PHUCKyoutube689 It actually is illegal, it's just Japan has opted out of the IWC so it doesn't "affect" them. basically illegal, but technically isn't. you get the point

Just armed the torpedoes and sunk the whaling ship to the ocean

@@Evercreeper It’s not illegal. Actually the Sea Shepherds are doing something highly illegal which is turning off their AIS

@@PHUCKyoutube689 They're conducting illegal whaling operations in Australian whale sanctuaries. They're also using loop holes, masquerading as 'research vessels' to hunt whales.

tell that to the chinese trawlers that has been consfiscated and the chineese captains that had been arrested for ilegal fishing thanks tho the sea shepherd 🤷🏻‍♂️

or the captain who sank his ship and got in prisionnfor years and have to pay 15millions together with the officers of the ship for abandoning the ship.

too soon bud, Steve Irwin Was supposed to be a god. and i was supposed to marry his daughter. and gain godly powers. This fell through thanks to covid... but at least the govie gave me money.

😆😅🤣😆😅🤣😆😅🤣

Be the last boat they came up on

I assumed they smelled of natural deodorant, and the awful body odor it fails to prevent.

They still get thier quota. Whales still die.

They just hunt elsewhere.

@@okiesailor5417 The original goal was to remove them from international waters and the whale sanctuary is in the southern ocean. Their quotas are much lower even in their national Hunt‘s because they cannot justify spending so much money on a fleet that can’t leave national waters. The next and more difficult task is to stop nationalist wailing but only for nations continue this practice and they will end one day.

The Adi Gale was out of fuel and waitting to be re fueled. Maritime law dictates the other vessels should have remaind clear. In the end there was a court case on it and the captains of both boats involved got fined

I agree including all those illegal whale fishers i mean come on right! Illegally fishing in another countries waters, its almost acting the same as the US military 😂😂😂

Sink the antifa scum..

@@Diablofeb4 they are not in another countries waters. They are in international waters. If they were whaling in a counties waters, that country would detain and prosecute them. They are in international waters, a group of non whale eating nations declared it off limits but if a nation doesn't agree to those other countries treaties there is not much that could be done.

cooper cooper because the helicopter would have to hover to get the radar to work. A radar sends sound waves out and they know if something is there if the wave comes back to the radar if the helicopter of moving really fast it won’t work

Masked KiLlz hahahaha are you serious? Airplanes have radar! Mach 2.5 fighter jets have amazing radar systems that detect and identify other aircraft and surface targets.

@@s1ipzys661 lol sound waves? Huh

@@s1ipzys661 thats sonar.....

@@s1ipzys661 Technically you're wrong. everything from single engine to jet airliners and a evry fighter jet uses radar. Also ground avoidance radar. aircraft don't stop to get a radar fix.

Right? like hey lets attack people acting in international waters, wait why are they defending themselves.

Robert Johnston and who would fund that

Robert Johnston yes, go after folks who have a history of naval combat...dumb idea.

Van Deman Ferrets Tasmania. Nikkie Simply sell off that flotilla of inadequate and obsolete vessels and use the money to build a new state of the art well equipped and fast vessel.

kcimb Yes and where completely defeated.

@@kcimbMore like going after folks who have a history of losing naval combat.

SFC Retired So the thing is the Japanese are the only ones that put up with their shit they have had the Norway Coast Guard sink one of their ships and I believe either a Russian or German ship actually shot at them with a torpedo

And it worked out so well for them: "The sinking was a cause of embarrassment to France and President François Mitterand. They initially denied responsibility, but two French agents were captured by New Zealand Police and charged with arson, conspiracy to commit arson, willful damage, and murder. It resulted in a scandal which led to the resignation of the French Defence Minister Charles Hernu, while the two agents pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced to ten years in prison." BTW, a decent (mechanical) engineer should be able to design a 'torpedo'. Those whaler boats look like easy targets.

WHAT?!

remy lew they are trying to stop whales from being killed if you were smart at all you would be happy.

@@Motor-City_Ben-Diesel Yeah, they are. unfortunately, i find this method extremely stupid. You're literally bordering between piracy and breaking international law. Yes, whaling is bad. I never said it was good. I meant that there are better ways to do it. Seriously, choking a ship's turbine? Raising awareness, but at what cost?

@@remylew3723 Unfortunately it has to be that way.

@@captjim11 and did stop it? Lol. Let's save the whale yeah let's stop the ship.okay? How many ships are out there for whaling? They're tiny boats can't even do anything.

i believe they can go to international waters, but their objective is to protect the sea farers in norwegian waters and its interests, the sea sheperd has had run ins where it has illegally entered norwegian waters, boarded norwegian ships, harassed normal fishing vessels, and even rammed a coast guard ship, and even then they said they did nothing wrong, it got so bad that a coast guard ship fired warning shots with armor piercing from their main cannon of the bough of the sea sheperd vessel, and then they screamed about how they were hit by them and how it was explosive rounds, when they were nowhere near being a hit or explosive, also Except for a few countries that allow local Native groups to hunt large whales for subsistence, Norway, Japan, and Iceland are the only countries that hunt large whales for commercial purposes. ... Japan, Norway and Iceland have objected to the moratorium, and therefore are not bound by it

@@pebzi- I see. So Japan is somewhat in the wrong, not that its bad, but its just a cultural thing, but its possible in a way for Japan to sent their military if it gets to that scale of Norway? Since im thinking it may be implied to be like that, Japan did have ships like Shonan Maru. I guess if they did sent military, its small scale, and be as simple as a Government "police" vessel since its pretty much what it is. Just a police ship trying to ram Sea Shepherds. Both sides arent wrong its just one side protecting their own ways. Japan has their own things and Sea Shepherds have theirs.

Proof of that please?

Your a bullshitter pal

Bla bla bla...hippie bollocks

brian denver please explain which part is bullshit. Have you ever watch the entire season of Whale Wars? The whaling fleet is now capable of prop fouling Sea Shepherd and it’s extremely difficult to prop foul them, especially at night, when running the risk of getting hit by a swinging grappling hook and getting a black eye from a rod. You were never there and Japan is still filtering information of their illegal activities so that citizens don’t even know how their tax is being spent, especially the misuse of the relief funds that came from around the world.

No references, no details on the court cases, just assertions: like you made it up? "Pirates" is not correct in this situation: there is no attempt to rob or steal.
