Ramming the Japanese whaling ship, onboard the Steve Irwin

The Sea Shepherd vessel Steve Irwin has rammed the Yushin Maru No 3 whaling harpoon ship while under attack by Long Range acoustic weapons. This video shows onboard the ship as they ram the whalers. Captain Paul Watson said "I was dazed by the sonic blasts being used on us at close range. I have to admit it was difficult to concentrate with that devise being focused on us."

Wow. I want a go. The dodgems are fuckin wack in comparison.

Hunt the whalers

So you use ICR (the whalers) footage and use the ICR claim of it being a ramming! Sea Shepherd have described it as an unavoidable collision. Please stop spouting whalers propaganda here.

It was an unavoidable collision caused by the whalers use of a sound weapon which disorientated the Sea Shepherd crew.

Everyone should ignore until all are free. They are using an animal liberation sounding name but are in fact just repeating the whalers lies.

Once again it wasn't a ramming but an unavoidable collision caused by the whalers use of an illegal (in the Antarctic Treaty area) sonic weapon to disorientate the sea shepherd crew.

We can do without the lies put out by Until all are free.
