I really don't know of any company that would allow their ships to return home because they were being "annoyed" by some lasers and sirens. I think the whole Sea Shepard/Whale Wars thing is a giant waste of money and time. Anyone know any figured about how much these people have affected the whaling industry?

I'm guessing the affect has been zero. This is not about saving whales. It's a big power trip for Captain Fatass and a thrill ride for his cabal of hippies.

I'm not taking sides on the whole 'whaling' issue. I can see both perspectives on this. I do believe that if you're serious about stopping whaling you're not going to waste your time acting out pirate fantasies in the antarctic.

BTW, isn't that a multi-million dollar boat? What could possibly be the advantage of that thing over a semi-rigid speedboat? Apparently being on the Discovery channel is allowing these guys to fully realize all their teenage fantasys.

Moving this video to demon_ix's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Damn hippies.

they also throw flash grenades and acid at ships (just see sea sheperds own videos for that)

Lasers and such aren't going to stop whalers but international awareness has and will continue to stop whaling... lasers and these games are interesting enough to show up here so it increases international awareness.

It's true that such videos raise awareness, but not in a good way for the Sea Shepherds, it just makes them look like asses.
