Sea Sheaperd

[Iormlund]

The Seashepherd guys aren't Greenpeace, they hate each other.  Greenpeace just follows the whalers around with megaphones, banners, and their tears.  These guys throw stink bombs and attempt to foul the propellers of the whaling ships using speedboats that are trailing long ropes.

Dude, they do more than that... they've intentionally rammed ships and are even suspected of sinking ships with mines before IIRC.  I think they sunk a number of Spanish whaling vessels at one point.

We have whaling ships?

Nope. I really don't like what your fishermen did at all.

And what did they do, pray tell?

Over fished in British waters ruining fish stocks.

That's quite a sweeping exageration. Got some numbers for that? Any particular waters? Time frame?

We did have a whaling industry until the early-mid XXth century, IIRC, but it dwindled from then on and dissapeared in the 80s.

They sank two icelandic whaling ships during the late 80's and then got stopped for speeding on the way out of the country... only to get a ticket. I don't think they  paid their fine.

Dug a bit on it, turns out they sank two whalers in 1980 using homemade mines. In their site they claim it was in Vigo, but in news reports of the time they say it was actually in Marín.

And this is their tally:



The Sierra sank off Porto in 1979, ISBA I & II in 1980 in Galicia, Susan & Theresa in 1980 in South Africa, the Hvalurs in Iceland in 86, and the three Norwegian ones in 1992, 94 and 98.

They need to get kilt.

Oversalt the bacalao.

I propose that resources be reallocated to Ribera del Duero, Priorat, and Jumilla production; prices have gotten too high.

There is no such thing as an oversalted bacalhau.

Ghostbusters 2 sucked.  I hope they do a better job with the long awaited (by very few) third one.

Looks like they need to be doing some prison time. Have any of them been tried for these attacks and sunk ships? Using  mines? I'd hope these guys are chased down and arrested, or at least detained and questioned by naval ships, when ever they show up on the ocean chasing whalers.
