(Japan Charges Whaling Activist Peter Bethune Could Get 15 Years!)


http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/free-sea-shepherd-captain-peter-bethune

On January 6, 2010, in blatant disregard for the safety of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society crew, the Japanese whaling vessel Shonan Maru No. 2 attempted to sink the Sea Shepherd vessel Ady Gil off the coast of Antarctica.

Australian, New Zealand, and Japanese government officials call for the crews on both sides to remain calm. I can tell these government officials that there is no need to ask our anti-whaling heroes to be calm, they have been calm and resolute, and will remain so.

But I join the chorus of voices that ask the Japanese whale killers to stop their deliberate attempts to ram and sink our vessels, and kill our crew.

For anyone who has seen the video clips, and millions upon millions of people have, it is clear that the 500 ton Shonan Maru No. 2, aimed at high speed for the 16 ton Sea Shepherd speedboat Ady Gil, and at the last moments, to make certain of a collision, steered hard to starboard to deliberately cut our vessel in two.

I dont think they actually tried to sink the sea shepherd boat,all the footage i saw looked alot like the sea shepherd boat blatantly ran across the path of the whaling ship,the whaling ship would have had no way whatsoever of stopping and by the looks they were in the process of steering away trying to NOT hit the sea shepherd boat.
Not that im advocating whaling,nor dissing the sea shepherd.but i think it was also a pretty silly bit of sailing on the sea shepherds part,a terrible waste of an expensive useful little vessel.
