It just gets harder to be a supporter of these crazy anti whalers. They seem determined to to make as many people as possible sympathetic to Japanese harpooning. I have, in the past been a sort of passive supporter of their activities, not because of whales, but because it seemed that the whole exercise was designed around getting a root. Young people united in a cause, tossing, tossing, tossing together on the high seas. Would hardly be time enough to save whale one what with having to throw a leg over or under every 5 minutes. The scuppers must running wet from activst juices day and night. However, the whole enterprise now seems to have been skewed towards making themselves look like dickheads. Having your speedboat run over by a whaler, giving your boats dumbarse names. Claiming to have been shot by Japanesers… Thanks to Shazza, for throwing her ethical considerations to the winds to get me this photo of The Steve Irwin. Respects. Are those zombies trying to get through the wire? UPDATE: Richarbl got some great shots too which I am adding. Awesome.

In the process they have become an open laughing stock of not only the conservation world but of the general public as well.

By any metric including Sea Shepherds own Paul Watson they are losing the media battle for the hearts and minds of a non-radicalized public.
Watson recently posted a long winded and far fetched explanation for why the worlds online comment media is not buying into his spoon fed and faked Whale Wars spectaculars, such as the ill fated “Watson Was Shot” (Whale Wars Season One) and this years alleged ramming of the Ady Gil.
