Sea Shepherd Fires Acid Rockets at Japanese, Injures Three

Sea Shepherd’s terrorist attacks on Japanese ships have for the first time drawn blood after the group fired rockets filled with acid onto the deck of a whaler, injuring three crewmen.

Several of Sea Shepherd’s ships approached a Japanese whaling vessel in Antarctic waters, and began a lengthy series of attacks.

The Japanese ship filmed Sea Shepherd as they launched a number of acid containing “rockets” at their ship, landing on the deck and spraying three crewmen with butyric acid.

The crewmen complained of pain and swelling to their faces and eyes, and received first aid onboard; it is the first time the group has directly injured crewmen with its attacks.

Sea Shepherd claims the acid to be a “non-lethal weapon,” although it appears this could describe any acid used in this fashion, and there have been claims the acid is contained in glass vessels which break on impact.

Wikipedia describes the acid as “corrosive to skin and mucous membranes, and hazardous to marine life.”

The Sea Shepherd ships reportedly also attempted to foul the propellers of the Japanese ship, and used “high powered lasers” to disrupt their operations.

Cameras on both the whaling vessel and the Sea Shepherd ships recorded the incident; a source with the Japanese explains that “they’re doing it for the cameras – one of these days soon there should be a large scale attack.”

Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary condemned the attacks: “This is outrageous. Fortunately nobody was severely injured, but this affair is most unfortunate.”

The Institute of Cetacean Research claims to be pursuing international legal action to “stop their violent acts and unmask the perpetrators,” but the government itself has still yet to do anything in defence of its ships save lament how “unfortunate” and “regrettable” it all is.

    I almost stopped reading when the article said: "High-powered lasers."

    I was laughing.

    Then again, it'll be more laughs when I hear JSDF starts to get serious and decides to blow some holes to these "sea terrorists."

    .... Or maybe if the US Navy decides to do anything it'll be interesting as well.

    Japan is being a bunch of faggots by allowing this whaling to take place under the guise of "research". That's bullshit. It wouldn't even be as bad if they just came out and admitted they hunt whales because they are tasty.

    At least Sea Shepherd is standing up for what they believe in, unlike most eco-groups that just sit around with signs and writing letters.

    ICR, I used to hate you guys until I realized you mostly caught minkes, which are no where near endangered.

    Here's what to do in international waters if they don't stand down:
    1. EMP and radio jamming.
    2. Shoot to kill. This is a known ecoterrorist group who routinely endangers the lives of your crews. They will kill you if you don't react, and they ignore active denial systems to the point of colliding with your crafts.
    3. Confiscate recording and relay equipment, sink the bodies and set the boat adrift.

    And dont get me wrong, i have nothign against japanese anime industry/people/etc, just the fishing and whaling policy sucks because its majorly run by corrupt politics and of course our lovely Yakuza who's been losing huge amounts of cash due SS actions.

    Yes, your Sea Shepherd heroes do know how to get things done, and that includes a leader that demanded his crew to commit murder as seen in this chronological list of the Sea Shepherd's history of violence:
    http://www.highnorth.no/library/movements/Sea_Shepherd/se-sh-re.htm

    And this list is actually composed from factual events from news and numerous credible sources.

    So you consider attempted murder as a form of correct action? Then I think you deserve to be imprisoned for life.

    While I don't agree with their methods, I do think that this supposed "research" whaling needs to stop.

    Not only is this whaling an outright perversion of international law the meat of many whales contains dangerous levels of mercury. Everyone is being harmed by this.

    What needs to happen is there needs to be an international agreement not to hunt Whales. We need to come to this agreement diplomatically. Then we won't need these extreme environmentalists.

    Look, lots of acids are harmful in concentration. Even acetic acids (from vinegars) are dangerous to aquatic life.
    http://www.inchem.org/documents/icsc/icsc/eics0363.htm

    Lactic acids (from milk) sounds damn dangerous in its concentrated form too.
    http://www.inchem.org/documents/icsc/icsc/eics0501.htm

    But really, how would marine life come into direct contact with the acid when it's going to be diluted by the sea water and especially when rancid butter only contains 3%-4% butyric acid concentration. The foam caused by the ships should be pretty strong to dissipate the solution too.

    To the "sea shepherd are murderers" guy, I don't see that list extending to the events in the discussion. In fact, the list disappointingly ended at 1993. In court, or in any logical discussion histories don't change current facts.

    To the fake ship conspiracy guy, wow, sorry to disappoint you, but have a look at the picture below to see what Shonan maru 2 actually looks like.
    http://www.newzeal.com/theme/Ships/Shonan/Shonan.htm

    Those whaling ships look alike. They have top deck & lower deck. and the top deck have white railings. Please take your own advice and study your materials more thoroughly first before trying to prove that they've used an old footage for the purpose. (nice try though)

    Lastly, to the "LOL Wikipedia" guy, looks like you didn't actually go to the link I provided, because it's actually a link to the reference used by the Wikipedia article which is a legitimate letter that came from the site below.
    http://www.whales-online.net/indexe.html
    Can you explain how any of those data you mention would require the killing of the whales?

    Also, I don't think those sea shepherd guys would want to sell any of those whales' meat to anyone, because it contains dangerously high level of mercury. They're unsafe for consumption. Actually, by trying to stop whaling, the sea shepherds are actually protecting the Japanese public. They're heroes to the Japanese.

    BTW, thanks for the link. I see that you seem to group whales together with sharks. It made me chuckle. Thank you for being such a funny troll.

    Obviously you're continuing to be an ignorant troll because you don't understand the reason for the sharks article. It is showing that sharks are even killed for the sole purpose of their form of research, and it relates entirely in technique. Thank you for proving that you're nothing but an ecoterrorist trying to manipulate the media.

    So you're somehow telling me that you are capable of collecting data from internal organs of whales without actually going inside them? Bravo, where's this amazing technology that you have? Why haven't I seen it's use in any research?

    That letter you provided as evidence is coming from the WWF, so it's obvious they'll try to make that type of claim. Have this group actually conduct the actual types of test or data collection from whales in international waters? Do you actually see direct evidence of their research other than statistical data?

    And what have you been smoking? "Heroes to the Japanese"? Most Japanese don't even eat whale meat, so what are they being saved from? In reality the whaling ships are barely making any money from the whale meat in Japan, because most Japanese are not even interested in consuming the whale meat. Only a select few of mostly seniors are buying this meat out of nostalgia. Since there are a lot of families who have relatives working in the fishing industry, they are actually extremely repulsed by these Sea Shepherds because they don't know who will be the next victims for these ecoterrorists.

    Since you love the Sea Shepherds so much, you should go join up with their ranks and hopefully some day you'll realize how stupid you have been for supporting these fanatics. Judging from your comments above, I sincerely doubt that would ever happen, so I'm not going to bother making an effort to make another response to you ever again.

    In my humble opinion, the Sea Sheperds are taking quite some desperate meassures to make their objectives.
    But that is because they have been pushed to do so.
    What those Japanese whaling ships are doing has none other name than senseless slaughtering, and somehow they have to be put to a stop. And if a person is not willing to listen, then some force must be used to get him/her to it.
    If you disagree on this, then please suggest me another solution.
    But if that solution is to let the whalers be, then I really pity you.
    Oh, by the way, the whalers have also used firearms against the Sea Sheperds, as an extra fact

    They're asking for trouble.

    Sorry, but they just caused actual injury by attacking a ship in international waters. If they want to hide behind shit like "It's not illegal because there's no law", don't be surprised if the Japanese companies start hiring real pirates with real guns to really hurt them.

    It works both ways. They've started a fight they really don't have the balls or ordnance to win. I mean, fuck.. If they attack a big enough ship with acid, that ship will ram them and we'll have a repeat of them sobbing about how they didn't deserve it.

    I am actually with the Sea Shepherd on this one, the sooner the Australian's, Kiwis, South Africans, Argentinians, UK send in warships the better.

    The whole Whaling industry in Japan is based on corruption, the reason the government subsidizes it is because of some old conservative types that believe that Japan gets pushed around too much by the International community and it is using this issue to show that Japan does not have to abide by the rules that everyone else plays by. (Japan gets away with it by buying seats in the IWC for poor ass countries who members don't even know what a whale is or what one looks like)

    Japans research excuse is laughable, I have read recently that they have only produced a handful of research papers, and only like 1 required a lethal sample, this paper was based on something ridiculous like what would happen if you injected a Minki whale egg with Sperm whale sperm.

    The man reason from a Japanese standpoint to stop whaling is that barely anyone in Japan buys whale meat and it is a massive drain to the economy to the tune of $150 million annually. It is highly toxic and the levels of mercury found in Whale meat are thousands of times higher than the Japanese legal limit and that they are passing whale meat off as other meats, like you go buy some sort of fish and what you are actually getting is whale meat.

    Dumb industry is dumb, stop it Japan, Norway any other Whaling countries, you are being stupid as hell and everyone hates you for it.

    Entirely incorrect. Sea Shepherd are terrorists through and through. Their cause, noble or not, does not justify them using such despicable tactics. They are simply attacking honest men attempting to make a living.

    If they want to stop whaling then they need to do it like civilised adults on the political battleground where they can confront the people in charge of the whaling companies.

    Nah, the Japanese aren't going to respond with force - they know that's what the Shepherd is after.

    An alternative would be to to rig up a waterproof radio beacon with a nuclear battery - rig it to the underside of the Shepherd next time it makes port (or using a diver from a naval ship).

    Easy to do, and you can let the fisheries know what frequency to watch for. If no-one tells the Shepherd it could be years before they find it, which makes it an easy way to reduce the danger.

    Then it's the same as giving the sea shepherds their victory because if the plan is not to approach the sea shepherds, they can just hang out near the whales' gathering spot and the whalers won't approach them. Job done.

    And if the whalers are going to resort to hunting stragglers, then they won't be getting enough to sustain their industry and they will eventually collapse. Thank you for the great idea.

    1. The type of butyric acid they use is derived from rancid butter. It's nowhere near as corrosive as it's believed or made out to be in this article. It's even used as fish bait additive, for god's sake. You can read about it in the "working" url below.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyric_acid

    The following link does state that it can indeed cause some harm when in concentration.
    http://cameochemicals.noaa.gov/chemical/2749
    But the same goes for vinegar, which contains acetic acid.
    http://cameochemicals.noaa.gov/chemical/2272
    The thing is, butyric acid only make up 3% - 4% of butter.
    http://www.3dchem.com/molecules.asp?ID=395
    This video here further illustrates how much less acidic butyric acid from butter is.

    Also, it's water soluble and organic, thus it will dissipate soon, like a wet fart in the sea.

    2. The whalers shot themselves in the face with pepper spray.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7mBiKEFZHc
    (watch the wind blowing the pepper spray into the guy at the right side of the screen)

    3. In 1982 commercial whaling for 1986 onwards is completely banned.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Whaling_Commission

    4. It is possible to conduct "research" using only tissue samples of the whales. There is no need to kill any of the whales at all.
    http://www.boston.com/news/world/australia/articles/2010/01/31/australian_new_zealand_scientists_prepare_for_whale_research_trek/
    Also, Japan's "research" program fails to meet minimum standards for credible science.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whaling_in_Japan#cite_note-baleinesendirect.net-50

    5. Packaged whale meat contains dangerous amount of mercury.
    http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=packaged-whale-meat-in-ja

    6. Japan could withdraw their membership from ICW and declare themselves not bound by it. It's perfectly legal, yet they still conduct fake scientific whaling. That, makes the government a hypocrite. Saying one thing to the IWC while letting the corrupt whaling industry do its thing backdoor.

    LOL You're using Wikipedia as reference for "facts" about whaling in Japan? Your entire rant is now negated as nonsense.

    You should learn that Wikipedia is constantly manipulated by people to suit their needs. Whaling is one of the main topics that ecoterrorists will use to manipulate the populous.

    Furthermore, there are ACTUAL data that scientists need to collect from killing aquatic animals, such as breeding habits, if the animal is spawning normally, is there any environmental factors that's causing harm to these creatures (Such as damage in various brain, organs, tissue, bone, muscular, etc.), proper food consumption, etc. These are the types of data you can't collect just by poking them externally.

    Sure they're selling it for consumption as well, but if they had thrown it away as trash, then these Sea Shepherds will start to complain that they're wasting the whale meat once again.

    Even recently in Canada, it has been stated that the seafood ban could disrupt a large number of research directly involving the above listed factors seen below:
    http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2010/02/08/ns-shark-superstore.html

    For someone who is attempting to point out these so called "facts", you seem to have entirely negated to do any research on what these scientists have been researching on the first place.

    BTW, you're an even bigger fool to believe that video with the Sea Shepherd's claim that the Japanese shot themselves in the face.

    That ship is the Yuushin Maru 3 seen from this video of the attack a few weeks ago:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icQZyBwjWNw

    The ship they're claiming in the video is from the Shonan Maru 2 they attacked recently with the acid. That ship is seen here in this video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbkfbBkLwmY

    If you look at the "evidence" that the Sea Shepherds provided as the Shonan Maru 2, you can clearly see the difference in the height of the railings and the colour of the ship, seen in the video you provided, is for a fact the Yuushin Maru 3:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7mBiKEFZHc

    Once again, you didn't do squat as a researcher.

    OK those are signal rockets, they are not filled with acid. Though the group did also launch bottles filled with Butyric acid, a toxic substance, fro ma pneumatic tube. 2 or 3 crew members got sprayed in the face and eyes and resulted in strong discomfort to the skin.

    They had a chance to respond with non leathal force when these eco wackjobs attacked. I say kill them all and let the sea sort out whats left of them.

    These guys are doing it for attention. I am sure they will get plenty of attention when the first one of em ends up getting their brains blown out.

    If they could do that, they would have done it.

    What makes impossible to attack Sea Chihuahua is the MASS MEDIA over the world.

    If Japan attack ALL THE PEOPLE OVER THE WORLD (except some few persons what have the internet and know the truth) will blame Japan.

    And the next one is tuna....

    And what does that have to do with my hentais?

    Why do we care about it? Put on some gallery or highlight a post to the channel, anything is better than that.

    And WTF is up with the pro-whaling here? These guys invade the waters of other countries and run to no man's waters as soon as they are spotted, they deserve all that's coming their way.

    They should be using torpedoes, really, you don't have to kill all whalers, just scare the shit out of them, whalers are coward, failed pirates, otherwise they wouldn't be hunting helpless animals on the way to extinction.

    Yes, the failed cowards trying to feed their families.

    You speak as if whaling is some sort of luxury job and people do it for fun. Really? Who wants to be out at sea for weeks, eating crappy ass food, fishing up smelly seafood and cutting/clean them up?

    It's shitty ass job but some people don't have alternatives to support their families. Or would you rather the thousands of Japanese families starve to death for your precious whales? You think they deserve getting harassed by RICH WHITE PEOPLE with nothing better to do than spend millions of dollars buying ships and weaponry? You must be white.

    I bet you'd rather feed a stray dog than give a dollar to a starving malnourished African kid.

    If you hate being human so much, just go jump off a cliff and hope you get reincarnated as a fucking whale.

    You know what? I would feed the stray dog to a starving malnourished African kid. That's one stray off the streets and one African kid with a full stomach for a day. Two short-term solutions at once.

    "You speak as if whaling is some sort of luxury job and people do it for fun."

    You know why the whale industry exists in Japan? Because the boys club known as the Japanese Government gives it money to keep their friends in jobs. These whalers make jack shit all money, but the guys running the 'research' are living large because their mates pay for all this bullshit.

    For the record I'm not white, I'm living in a third rate country with shitsome unemployment rate and I still don't aproove of whaleing , there are plenty alternative ways to feed your family, these people are whalers because it's a well paid job.

    And since it's illegal almost everywhere I bet your country does well without whaleing too.

    Meanwhile whalers are giving the finger to all generations to come.

    BTW giving a dollar... or a thousand dollars to a malnourished African kid only increases the amount of misery in the world because he will use them to live till he's 16, rape-thus-marry his victim and have more helpless girls to circumcise and boys to beg for more money.

    Not that I can expect anything more than a myopic knee-jerk reaction from you.

    I don't hate being human, but I do hate breaking it to you but there is no reincarnation, heaven nor hell.

    So how many years can the entire crew of that saeshepherd get for deadly conduct at sea? That would be at least a 1 billion dollar lawsuit if someone did that to a neighbor in the USA, contestable win.

    Fucking environmentalists. They are the marxists of the 21st century.

    As long as it's international waters or Japanese territorial waters, the Japanese government should deploy the JDF to protect their vessels by all means necessary.

    It's not about the whales themselves, I don't think the Japanese need to fish them and as far as I'm concerned they should stop fishing them.

    It's about being assertive with tree-huggers. You let them today win against Japanes whalers and tomorrow you are paying four times for the energy you consume and the goods/services that need energy to be produced. And the day after tomorrow we are forced to live in self-sufficient green communes -I've read in a German magazine that a few communities of that sort already exist in some places like Sweden-

    So... your last argument is that such communities exist, in a voluntary form, so soon we'll all be forced to live in them?

    Voluntary... a.k.a. they're testing them out.

    Once the price of energy (to be "green" and save the planet) goes through the roof, we'll have no choice but to live in these communes. Only the rich will get to keep their luxuries.
