Greenpeace anti-whaling ship runs low on fuel, ends chase
Sunday, January 27, 2008 at 06:46 EST

SYDNEY — Environmental group Greenpeace said Saturday its anti-whaling ship Esperanza, which has been disrupting Japanese whalers' activities in waters around Antarctica, is returning to port in Australia after running low on fuel. "After spending two weeks successfully preventing the Japanese whaling fleet from hunting in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary...Esperanza is running low on fuel and must return to port," Greenpeace said in a statement.

BigWhore,

Once again you show how stupid you are. How many Thousands of tons of bunker fuel do you think the Japanese have been using in the last 3 weeks to evade the Steve Irwin? Why don't you edjumacate yourself on the issues before you spout off and show everybody the long term effects of drinking too much Keystone Light?

The Nisshin Maru burns 20 tons of fuel per day. The Oriental Bluebird burns 25 tons of fuel a day and each of the smaller ships burns between 5 and 10 tons of fuel a day. The Fukuyoshi Maru No. 68 burns between 15 and 20 tons per day. In total the Japanese whaling fleet has used well over 2,000 tons of fuel at a cost in excess of two million dollars without killing a single whale.

Greenpeace is a bunch of publicity seeking poseurs...... They haven't done anything to shutdown the Whaling. Their biggest accomplishment was to run their little Zodiacs between the Oriental Bluebird and the Nisshin Maru for a few hours to get publicity shots.

The whaling fleet was on the run for 3 weeks out of fear of the Steve Irwin and Captain Paul Watson. I encourage you to open up your wallet, blow off the cobwebs and dust in that thing and help Watson and the SeaSherd organzation get refueled and back in the game.

Greenpeace Protects Japanese Whalers from Sea Shepherd

The Greenpeace ship Esperanza has stopped chasing the Japanese whaling factory ship the Nisshin Maru and is heading back to New Zealand.

Sea Shepherd 2nd Officer Peter Hammarstedt called Greenpeace Campaign Leader Karli Thomas on the Esperanza to request the position of the Nisshin Maru. She responded by saying that it was not necessary for Sea Shepherd to have the coordinates for the Nisshin Maru because the Oceanic Viking would continue documenting the activities of the factory ship to carry on the work that Greenpeace has been doing.

In other words, asked Mr. Hammarstedt, “You aren't interested in Sea Shepherd preventing the killing of whales now that you've left?” Ms. Thomas responded by saying that Greenpeace had no intention of cooperating with Sea Shepherd and then hung up.

From the beginning of this campaign, Sea Shepherd has tried to cooperate with Greenpeace. Sea Shepherd provided coordinates to Greenpeace last year for the whalers and provided the coordinates to the catcher boats this year. Sea Shepherd also offered to share the Sea Shepherd helicopter with Greenpeace. All attempts to cooperate on a united front to protect whales have been rebuffed by Greenpeace.

“I really have to question just what is Greenpeace's motivation in coming down here year after year,” said Captain Paul Watson. “Their campaigns are always more of the same, buzzing about in rubber boats, hanging banners and filming whales being killed. Things have changed dramatically since Sea Shepherd has been intervening. Whales don't die when we show up. Instead the whalers run and they keep running. The whalers have never run from Greenpeace before and they were not running from them this year either. Even the whalers have admitted they have been running from the Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin .”

What the general public is not aware of is the massive fund-raising advertising campaign that Greenpeace runs every year to raise millions of dollars for a campaign they spend only a fraction of that money on. In addition to television ads Greenpeace has bought the online advertising rights to major newspapers, to Google and other media sites. Whenever anyone clicks on a whale story up pops an ad asking for donations to be sent to Greenpeace.

“This is all well and good,” said Captain Paul Watson. “But with the amount of revenue Greenpeace is bringing in why are they leaving for the season? They should get up to the nearest port, fill up their fuel tanks and get back down to the Southern Ocean and continue their campaign. The whalers will be down here for another two months. Plenty of time to refuel and return. But they won't do it. They have their pictures and they have their story and that is fuel enough to generate a fund-raising program for the rest of the year.”

If Sea Shepherd had the resources, the Steve Irwin would refuel and return but the annual Sea Shepherd budget of 2 million dollars is very small in comparison to the budget of Greenpeace which is in excess of one hundred million dollars.

“We will do everything we can with the resources we have but I can tell you this,” said Captain Watson. “If we had a fraction of the Greenpeace budget we will have two ships down here from the beginning of the whaling season until the end.

The Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin continues to pursue the Japanese Catcher vessels in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. The Japanese ship Fukuyoshi Maru No. 2 continues to tail the Steve Irwin to keep the fleet posted on the Steve Irwin's position.

“Because of this spy vessel tailing us we will not be able to close in on the whalers but we can continue to chase them and keep them on the run and if they are running they won't be whaling,” said Captain Watson.

Hey BigWhore,

It looks like the Steve Irwin will soon be back in the "hunt" for the hunters.... I hope you were able to sponsor a tonne of bunker fuel for $800.

Sea Shepherd Ship the Steve Irwin Returns to Melbourne to Refuel And Re-Provision
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s ship Steve Irwin will be returning to Melbourne and is estimated to arrive at Victoria docklands, wharf 3 around 1400 Hours on February 2nd.

The Steve Irwin continues to be tailed by the Japanese registered Fukuyoshi Maru No. 68. The vessel has been following behind the Sea Shepherd ship for more than two weeks and it appears to be following the Sea Shepherd vessel all the way back to Australia. According to media reports in Japan the Fukuyoshi Maru No. 68 has a crew of armed Japanese coast guard officers onboard.

The Steve Irwin will be returning to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary just as soon as it can be refueled, re-supplied, repairs completed and some crew positions relieved.

“I would like to turn the ship around within 10 days,” said Captain Paul Watson. “We have new crew flying in from around the world. We have ordered the spare parts we need and we are anxious to return to defend the whales. This is a retreat for supplies only, we have not surrendered the Sanctuary to the whale killers. We will be back as soon as possible.”

It appears that one of the objectives that Sea Shepherd had set has been reached. “There have been no reports from the Oceanic Viking of whales being killed to date. This means that our goal of seeing that whaling was halted until the end of January has been reached,” said Captain Watson. “Our next objective is to shut down Japanese whaling operations for another three weeks and I think we can do it.”

The Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin left Melbourne on December 5th.

“It’s been a long voyage for many of the crew and because we are volunteers, about half the crew have to leave to return to jobs and family,” said 2nd Officer Peter Hammarstedt. “The rest of us are a little tired but we remain enthusiastic about stopping the poaching of whales in the whale sanctuary. We have already hurt the Japanese fleet economically. They will not get their quota. We need to get back out to sea and stop the harpoons for another three weeks. Every whale saved is a victory.”

Australian citizen Benjamin Potts who boarded the harpoon vessel Yushin Maru No 2 will be returning to sea to resume the chase of the whaling fleet.

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society will be seeking donations of funds, provisions and volunteer support in Melbourne.

No thanks Jose. I think I would rather keep my donation dollars in Montana and sponser a Buffalo Hippie. Makes me warm and fuzzy keeping those guys well stocked with weed and lentils.

 

[JoseCuervo]

Uhhhh.... BigWhore,

I doubt you have any skills that would be valuable. You don't even have the potential to be considered for "unskilled"......

Here are some nice whacks at Greenpeace by Captain Watson. I like groups like SeaShepherd and Western Watersheds that put money to direct use to cause the direct action and are efficient in the use of my donations. That is why the NRA won't ever get money from me. They spend way too much raising money to fund their money raising activiites.

Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace - An Unfortunate Conflict


Commentary by Captain Paul Watson
On Board the Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin

The Japanese whaling season is almost half over. Both the Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin and the Greenpeace ship Esperanza have been forced to leave the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary due to lack of fuel. This should merely be a logistical retreat - it should not be a declaration of surrender.

The Steve Irwin intends to return to Melbourne, refuel, re-provision, do some repairs on the main engine, take on some replacement crew, and return. This is a difficult decision simply because the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society does not have the resources to return but then again we normally operate with a debt and we would rather go deeper into debt than surrender. And with the Japanese fleet on the ropes, now is not the time to surrender. The chase must be resumed and the whalers must be hounded and further deterred from their illegal slaughter.

The Greenpeace ship Esperanza will not be returning. We would like them to return. We need as much opposition to the whalers as possible. There is strength in diversity of tactics and of strategy. Greenpeace has stated that their campaign for this year is over. In other words they have enough footage, photos and a storyline to fuel another multi-million dollar fund-raising drive for the rest of the year.

Now I know I may be sounding cynical here and perhaps I am but as a co-founder of Greenpeace I have to say that I am personally disgusted at this corporate, emotionless, exploitive annual ocean posing event that Greenpeace stages every year.

My message to them is simple. If you collect the money to save the whales then you should spend the money on saving the whales. And they do collect the money! That is an area that Greenpeace excels in. Tens of millions of pieces of direct mail appeals each year. Door to door and telephone solicitations. Online advertising, television ads, radio ads, magazine ads.

Greenpeace spends more on soliciting funds to save the whales than they spend on actually sending a ship to sea to save the whales. For example Greenpeace has booked the online advertising space for major Australian and New Zealand newspapers and for news outlets like Google for three solid months to coincide with their annual whale-a-thon marketing event.

And they only oppose whaling operations based on the popular appeal of the operation. You won’t see Greenpeace on the beaches in Taiji protecting dolphins or on the shores of the Faeroe Islands protecting pilot whales or in Neah Bay, Washington trying to stop the illegal killing of Grey whales by Makah Indians. Sea Shepherd covers all these places without ever once seeing a Greenpeacer in the area. The reason is simple, the market potential of these regional atrocities is small compared to taking on the Japanese whalers.

Sea Shepherd may not be popular for tackling American Indians for illegally killing whales and we may not be popular in Japan for exposing the brutality of the killing of 20,000 dolphins every year by Japanese fishermen and we upset a lot of Scandinavians by intervening against Norwegian and Danish whaling but one thing Sea Shepherd does not do is discriminate.

Sea Shepherd actions are directed against the unlawful slaughter of marine species by anyone, anywhere, for any reason, popular or unpopular. This is one of the reasons that Greenpeace does not like Sea Shepherd. By our actions we call into question their motivations.

Greenpeace says that it disapproves of Sea Shepherd because we are a violent organization despite the fact that in our thirty year history, Sea Shepherd has never injured a single person, has never had a single person injured and has never been guilty of a felony crime.

Greenpeace states that damaging property is violent and we agree except when the property is used to illegally destroy life. Sea Shepherd does not protest, we intervene and we have no qualms about destroying the harpoon or the rifle of a poacher.

A few years ago after Sea Shepherd had scuttled half the Icelandic whaling fleet I was doing a radio talk show program in Vancouver when someone called in a bomb threat to the station to “protest his violence.” That was weird enough but with the radio station staff and myself on the sidewalk as the police searched for the “pacifist bomb,” a reporter thrust a microphone into my face and said, “Greenpeace has just denounced you as an eco-terrorist. What’s your response?”

The only thing that came to mind was to try and laugh it off and to say, “Oh what do you expect from the Avon Ladies of the environmental movement?”

Well they’ve never forgiven me for that although my reference to their door-to-door solicitors was more accurate than their accusation of me of being a terrorist.

Greenpeace brings in over two hundred million dollars every year. They have tens of millions in bank accounts around the world. They build multi-million dollar office buildings and they employ hundreds of staff. They market themselves as the generic name in positive environmental imaging. In short, they are the world’s largest “feel good” organization.

People join Greenpeace to feel good, to feel like they are part of the solution and not a part of the problem. It’s okay to eat fish, jet around in airplanes, smoke, and work in the chemical industry just so long as you have that Greenpeace membership card to demonstrate that you’re a bona fide environmentalist.

It’s sort of like the difference between Canada and the United States on the issue of global warming. Canada has a great reputation for fighting global warming because Canada signed the Kyoto Protocol and the United States did not. The problem is that per capita greenhouse gas emissions are higher in Canada than the U.S. and Canadian emissions have increased rather than decreased but they are perceived as being ecologically superior to the United States by the simple act of signing a document.

Greenpeace dispenses ecological dispensation the way Pope Rodrigo Borgia once gave dispensation to sinners to enter heaven in return for gold. For the price of a Greenpeace supporting membership, you can be absolved of your ecological sins.

The commodity that Greenpeace sells is a clear conscience and there is a huge market for that. And it is a simple market to tap by orchestrating media stunts and staging photo-ops with follow up mass mailing appeals.

I am the person that developed the Greenpeace tactic of taking small inflatable boats and running them between harpoon ships and fleeing whales. I did that way back in 1975 and it was a tactic that worked only for as long as there were men and women with the courage to hold the line, - that is to actually place their lives on the line rather than to pretend to place their lives on the line and then duck out at the last moment. When the first Greenpeacer to move out of the way of a harpoon did so, the tactic was rendered obsolete because any true eco-warrior would now be taking an unacceptable risk if the harpooner assumed the boat would get out of the way. Non-violent tactics work only if the activist is sincere and does not back down - no matter what.

Now every year we see Greenpeacers battling water cannons fired from the whaling boats. It all looks very dramatic but is it real? Sea Shepherd boats never get hit with the water cannons for the simple reason that they are so easy to avoid. Sea Shepherd boats run alongside the whalers to try and foul their props or to toss stink bombs on the deck and never get hit. What Greenpeace does is run their boats directly into the water columns but they make sure the cameras are running first.

As Patrick Moore once said when he was President of Greenpeace Canada, “It does not matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.”

It’s called ocean posing. This year Greenpeace said they attempted to put a small boat between the supply vessel Oriental Bluebird and the factory ship Nisshin Maru but the tactic failed when the Zodiac inflatable pulled away to avoid being crushed. A sensible move of course but it undermines the effectiveness of the tactic. If the opposition knows that the move is a bluff then they will proceed knowing that the boat will get out of the way.

Greenpeace said the boat got out of the way because it was dangerous. Of course it was dangerous. What is the point of putting your life on the line for a cause if you are only putting your life on the line in a kind of, sort of way, that is until it becomes dangerous? The Freedom Riders did not back down to the lynch mobs of Mississippi. Gandhi’s people did not back down to the clubs and bullets of the British army, and in the early days of Greenpeace we did not back down from blocking sealing ships even when the ice was breaking up under our feet.

This year Greenpeace failed to track the Japanese fleet from Japan. They failed to stop the refueling. They claim they chased the whaling fleet for two weeks when the reality of the situation was that the whalers were looking over their shoulders and over the heads of the Greenpeacers because they knew Sea Shepherd was coming over the horizon and Sea Shepherd was intent on screwing up their ships and equipment. Even the whalers admitted to this when a Japanese spokesperson Glen Inwood said that the Greenpeace claims were a farce because the whalers were running from Sea Shepherd.

The Japanese whalers had never run from Greenpeace in previous years so there was no reason they would have been running from them this year except for one little difference, Sea Shepherd was chasing the fleet. Yet when Sea Shepherd brought the fleet to a stand-still by having two of our crew board the Yushin Maru No. 2, Sara Holden of Greenpeace described the tactic as a “distraction.”

Jonah Fisher reporting from the Greenpeace ship Esperanza said that while Greenpeace was chasing the factory ship, Sea Shepherd crew were sipping tea on the harpoon vessel. Yes they were indeed, and they were toasting the fact that the harpoon vessel could not do any harpooning with two Sea Shepherd hostages onboard. In fact the most satisfying moment for the two men held on the Japanese boat was when they looked out the porthole and saw a whale swimming alongside unmolested by the whalers.

It is interesting that the Nisshin Maru led the Esperanza on a wild chase away from the catcher boats to allow the catcher boats to refuel from the Oriental Bluebird. When the Steve Irwin disrupted that refueling operation, the Nisshin Maru abruptly turned completely around and headed back to the fleet. The entire fleet then ran far to the East and then turned and ran far to the West again. The Greenpeace ship Esperanza tagged along for the ride but the whalers were not running from the Esperanza.

Some people may be surprised to learn that Greenpeace does not oppose all whaling. John Frizell of Greenpeace has said that “Greenpeace does not condone nor condemn whaling in principle.” The whale slaughter in the Faeroes, coastal whaling in Japan, the Canadian seal hunt, the polar bear sport hunt in Alaska and the dolphin slaughter in Japan have all been described by Greenpeace as “sustainable.”

When we were once chasing the Nisshin Maru we saw the Japanese whalers hang a banner from the stern saying “Greenpeace is a sham.”

I thought to myself, well at least there is one thing the Japanese whalers and I agree on. Although where we disagree is that the Japanese whalers have little use for Greenpeace and I believe that Greenpeace can still serve the planet in many useful ways. In short I am not anti-Greenpeace, just anti-the bureaucracy that Greenpeace has become. Toss out the bureaucrats, the ridiculous, tedious committee meetings, the posturing and the lack of consistency and Greenpeace could become the once dynamic organization it once was instead of just being the generic feel good corporation it has become.

I do not wish to see the destruction of Greenpeace. I am after all - a founding father of the Greenpeace movement. My lifetime Greenpeace membership is 007 and I would really love to see Greenpeace return to the Southern Oceans this year when we return.

Strength lies in diversity and interdependence, two of the basic laws of ecology. We could use as much diversity of tactics and strategies as we can get down off the coast of Antarctica and I would work hand in hand with the Vatican or the Republican Party if they joined us in condemning whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. We are certainly willing to work in cooperation with Greenpeace and the fact that we cannot do so is entirely the decision by the Greenpeace bureaucracy to not cooperate with Sea Shepherd.

That in itself is excusable. What is not excusable is Greenpeace’s decision to not return to the Southern Ocean and to surrender the whales to the cruel harpoons of the Japanese whalers. They collected the money to defend the whales and that is what that money should be spent upon. If nothing else Greenpeace should open their books to reveal just how much money their whale campaigns have brought in and how much money they actually have spent in the field.

The killing of the whales will resume in a few days and the pity of it is that a cooperative strategy between Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace could have prevented the resumption of the slaughter.

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society ship Steve Irwin will be returning to the Southern Oceans as soon as possible to rout the Japanese fleet again - this time we will be down there alone but nonetheless we will shut them down again no matter what the risks required.

This battle is far from over and a retreat from the killing fields in the midst of this slaughter when resources are fully available is simply disgraceful.

Greenpeace will be patting themselves on the back for the rest of the year proclaiming that they “saved” a hundred whales.

I suppose Patrick Moore’s philosophy is still prevalent in Greenpeace today.

“It does not matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.”

BigWhore,

You think SeaShepherd was justified in burning their bunker fuel to stop the Japanese?

Japanese whalers slaughter minke and calf in name of science

A SHOCKING new photograph shows the bloody reality of Japan's whale slaughter: the body of a minke whale and her baby, killed in the name of science.

The exclusive photo, taken last week, shows a minke mother being winched aboard a Japanese chaser vessel in the Southern Ocean.
Scientists say the calf was less than a year old.

Exhausted and disoriented after a ruthless pursuit from high-speed chaser ships, both marine mammals were then shot with pointed harpoons, packed with explosives to cause maximum damage.

Evidence of the injuries inflicted by explosive harpoons can be seen on the side of the baby whale.

Showing the Japanese will stop at nothing to fulfil their quota, the images were captured by Australian Customs crew aboard the Oceanic Viking only metres away.

They are the first images from the surveillance operation, launched one month ago and the first pieces of evidence collected in preparation for an international legal challenge to end the hunt for good.

Scientists say the baby minke looks to be at suckling age – an easy target for a harpoonist.

It is not known whether the animals were still alive as they were dragged by their tails aboard the Yuishin Maru.

By now their fate is certain. Hours after this photo was taken, the two minkes were diced and carved, facing an end in cold storage on board the mothership, Nisshin Maru.

Until now the Japanese hunt had been conducted away from the world's eyes after independent protest ships from Greenpeace and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society were forced back to Tasmania by low fuel supplies.

The conservation groups' actions had delayed the start of the Japanese hunt but the whalers began their slaughter in earnest as soon as the protest ships left Antarctic waters.

Japan wants to kill almost 1000 minkes and endangered fin whales under the pretext of research.

The Oceanic Viking is in southern waters to gather information the Australian Government intends to use in an international court to stop whaling.

Last week the Federal Government refused to release the images, saying it wanted to keep hold of them in the event of legal action.

At the same time Japan's Institute of Cetacean Research director-general Minoru Morimoto vowed to continue with his country's killing program. "We are confident of achieving the programs stated objectives for this season," he said.

 

[BigHornRam]

"You think SeaShepherd was justified in burning their bunker fuel to stop the Japanese?"

As long as the Japanese were using the "best available science", I'd say no.

 

[JoseCuervo]

Would you ever shoot a nursing calf while elk hunting? What about shooting a lamb while sheep hunting?

 

[BigHornRam]

If the Japanese killing and eating baby whales in the name of science justifies ignoring Al Gore's mandate to reduce consumption of fossel fuels to you Jose, then boycott Japanese products.

 

[JoseCuervo]

BigWhore,

When did Al Gore mandate anything? How easily duped are you?

Do you condone the slaughter of killing/hunting nursing mammals?

 

[BigHornRam]

Other than whine Jose, what do you plan to do about it? You want to declare war on Japan to stop the "slaughter"? Only so many things you can worry about in the world Jose. Do you tear up when you see "nursing mammals" slaughtered in Sudan or Iraq? Baby whales may be your cause.......what's happening in Iran and Pakistan ranks a little higher on my list concerns.

BigWhore,

Uhmmmmm, you started this thread by demeaning groups that were trying to do something about an issue. Then you got schooled on the issues. Now you claim not to care about hunters killing baby animals nursing, because you are "concern"ed about Iran and Pakistan?

I would love to know what YOU have done to resolve the issues in Pakistan. That should be hilarious to see what your efforts have done.

What do I plan to do about the senseless killing of whales in the Southern Ocean? I plan to keep sending contributions to SeaShepherd.Org so they can continue their "near" militant form of environmentalism. They have proven results as they have managed to send whaling ships to the bottom of the ocean in the past, and I am confident they can do so, again. And they do it in a fiscally responsible manner.

You keep reading letters to the editor from Missoula and worrying about what is happening in Iran.... What are YOU doing about Iran? Are you sending them money so they can get Natural Gas to the outlying areas during this cold winter in Iran to help their people?

 

[BigHornRam]

"What are YOU doing about Iran"

Pointing out that vegi eating militant environmentalists are wasting limited world oil products in their crusade against hungry Japanese scientists, thus driving up the price of oil, creating revenue and opportunity for crazy muslim extremists to secure nuclear weapons, with the intent to use said weapons to blow up your ass.

That's what I'm doing.
