Artist's Comments

I realize that I'm probably about to piss off quite a few people... but oh well.

Let me make this clear; I AM NOT PRO-WHALING. At all. I think it's something of the past that is not needed in modern day society.
BUT I do not think that boarding japanese whaling vessels is the correct way to end it. Double if you RECORD the damn thing and put it out for all to see. Boarding another vessel is a little thing called PIRACY and when its not done by Johnny Depp in a Disney movie its not attractive and its very illegal. They may be risking their lives to do this, but they are also harming the very cause they support.
If they were just recording the footage of the Japanese harvesting the whales and putting that on animal planet, I would not have an issue. I'd respect them even. But the moment they stepped on another nations boat for the world to see?
Sorry. You just shot yourself in the foot.

I feel the same way. I'm not pro whaling, but doing things the peta/terrorist/hillbilly way... is dumb for lack of a better word.
It's piracy, it's pointless, and whether people like it or not... whaling has been done long before it was commercialized... had it not been commercialized and there were more whales in the world there would probably be less done about it. Small countries surrounded by water are going to get their resources from the sea after all.... Food for thought

To other people, if you dispute me like you're 11-16 I will assume you are, and treat you as such, by ignoring you.

For any impending arguments Remember Arguing with an idiot makes two idiots...

:highfive: hmph, if these people were doing this for an unpopular cause, they would be decried as overly-religious radicals.

You are entitled to your opinion, even if it sucks like you.

what the hell is wrong with you!!!!!these people are the most effective anti-whaling groop there is out there!!!!! they have saved hundreds of whales lives!! whales are more important to this world than we are! we have damaged this world soooooo much and they are doing something good to help stop and revurse that trend!! the ja[ppinese whalers plan to kill 950 minkey and 50 fin whales wach whaling seson. now i kno that they probaly exsed that linbit each year. but thanks to sea sheperds they have lowerd the amount of whales that htey killed in the past i dont know how many years! if you disagree with ANY anti-whaling orgnazation groops than you are (to me)as horabul as the whalers and you sound like a pro-whaling peoson to me!!! paul watson is (in my oppinion) one of the smartest enviromentlest in the world!!!! and i someday hope to join the sea sheperd conservation groop

"Small countries surrounded by water are going to get their resources from the sea after all.... Food for thought."

Exactly, its their culture and livelihood. It may not be needed today, but its pointless to be like 'OMG YOU GUYS SUCK FOR KEELING DA WHALES HOLY CRAP!1!1'
^--paraphrased--^

Its not getting anything done and its just making us look ignorant. Gah. :/

9_9 I liken it to what would happen if we had Indian hindus (who don't eat beef because they believe cows have spiritual significance...I think)raiding OUR cow processing plants and recording it?

We'd freak the fuck out of course!

Problem is, eating beef is good. Killing whales is bad.

Cows=/=Whales, but still. Principle is the same xD
:iconsungsurin:
Haha, then they'd be martyrs. xD
:iconokura:
While I agree with some of the way that the Sea Shepard does work to get the message though, I do have to admit, they are a law unto themselves, and the show is a little... too much really.

I live down in the Australia/New Zealand region and are very annoyed at how our Governments wringe their hands at the concept of confonting the Japanese over the whaling, and I support several non-whaling organizations. However, I don't condone their more 'brutal' methods the Shepard uses.

All in all really, everyone has an opinion, but coming in (near) flaming like this doesn't particularly help the message that *SungSurin wants to address with it, which is with some of their methods, they are making the situation worse, rather than better. :)
