In the aftermath of a confrontation between the crew of the whaling ship Nisshin Maru and the crew of the Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin, the Japanese public relations flacks are working overtime to get the spin right.

this violent episode by japanese official coast guard sharpshooters is enough to start a war - japan should pull its empirical head in rapidly before it is compromoised seriously

Hi Boris!
All this attention is wasted becaue Japan does will denie!
Did you hear of any navy that is willing to help to end the killing?
The whalers are way behind to catch what they wanted to catch!
I think that Paul Watsons only way is to provoke them and hope that
they will make more mistakes...But who has to see these....
All the world knows that Japan is wrong 32 Nations plus the complete EU Commission have protested....Yet the best is yet to come...IWC is preparing
for a commercial whaling season next year...i dont like that at all!
But if the large organisations do not support this boycott we will see
commercial whaling next year....and nobody will donate for protest if the
entire world agrees that it is ok to kill whales! Greenpeace will have to face that!

Whoever fired that shot that hit Paul Watson should be tried for attempted murder, which is what it was. You can't do that sort of thing, period. Japan has very low ethics regarding the whaling issue. It must be money behind it, which it usually is nine times out of ten in a lot of over-harvesting and abuse of wildlife or nature.

YAY! What it says in the article is much like what i was trying to say to many before because it is the truth & it is good to see it all spelled out like that on the Sea Shepherd Site exactly what we knew-that the poachers are the ones lying & It will do no good for the poachers to lie anymore because 'we know who they are & we saw what they did' to kill the Cetaceans & what they did to Captain Watson & Crew of the Steve Irwin.
SO PLEASE STOP KILLING OUR SEA-FRIENDS!
