The crew of the Steve Irwin

[roody]

For anyone who is feeling discouraged, a look at these blessed volunteers should fill you with hope. I don't see the writer's name on the article. It sounds like the Captain, Paul Watson.

Meet the Save the Whale "Terrorists"

The Japanese whalers are a cowardly bunch.
When it comes to shooting defenseless whales in the back, they thump their chests like big brave men. They strut around with their lethal lances and pose in front of their big harpoon cannons like preening peacocks bragging about their macho credentials.

But when we show up to defend the whales, they run like frightened little schoolgirls and call their government to send down some real men to defend them from us.

For ten days we have been chasing these craven killers across the Southern Oceans. Just like last year, and the year before that, they run and keep running.

This is a good thing of course because when they are running, they are not whaling. Ten days of not whaling when they average ten whales a day is one hundred whales at least saved so far.

6. May Captain Paul Watson live a long, long life

He's certainly save enough lives to have earned some karma points toward it.

7. They are on my lotto list....

I only play when I buy Chinese food or have an exceptionally lucky day. But if I ever hit it big, they'll benefit.

In the meantime, a small monthly contribution will have to do.

8. Are they hiring?

10. What? nt.

11. Whom has he killed?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. He attempted to murder several Costa Rican fisherman.

He claimed they were sharkfin poachers working for "the mafia." He fled before authorities could arrest him.

Not sure what the poster meant about genocide.

Maybe his anti-immigration efforts that earned him the attention of the SPLC.

I visited the Australia Zoo when I was in Australia in November. Fantastic place. Very much keeping with Steve-o's legacy. I wish the Sea Shepherd well.

15. I decided to kick this back to the front because...

I just got a new job (before the effective date of my lay-off) and part of my celebration is spending a portion of my reserved vacation pay on a donation!

These people are VERY BRAVE and deserve support in their quest to save species and habitats.

[ZombieHorde]

16. This article is an insult to the reader's intelligence.

The anti-whalers throw things at the whalers, the whalers decide to report them, as opposed to confrontation, and so the whalers are cowards?

craven killers

If you eat meat, take certain medicines, or own materials from dead animals, you support 'craven killing'.
