Sea Shepherds Try To Board Japanese Whaling Ship & Arrest Captain | Whale Wars

The Sea Shepherds plan to board a Japanese Whaling ship goes south after they spot one of the crew brandishing some sort of rifle.

His plan is to board another ship, by himself, and arrest the captain? He didn’t really think that was going to work, did he?

I would love to see this from the Japanese perspective.

The graphic they showed looked like an actual plan. Turned out to just be launch the boat with the whaling vessel 10 miles away, hide behind an iceberg until it gets kinda close, get impatient and just start driving at the thing full speed 2 miles away. Who coulda predicted that utter failure?

“How do we know if it’s an air rifle or a high powered rifle?” I can think of a way to find out.

why does Paul Watson always look like he would smell like Fried Bologna and taco seasoning.

Seriously? Y’all actually think you can board a ship, and take the captain hostage? Don’t be soo shocked when someone gets shot.

Pete Bethune later managed to get on the ship, but instead of arresting the captain he was arrested himself and spend some time in a Japanese jail

I love how they say they are going to arrest the captain when boarding a boat without the captains permission is against martial law

[williamdooley]

"Nah, just stupid mate." Yep, you are correct

[workniniraq]

Board another vessel at sea? Wrong, wrong, wrong. Look at what happens to those in the Persian Gulf.

Theirs no way they thought they were going to launch a dingy with 3 men and a camera guy and somehow board the whale ship, get through some 30 people and arrest the captain!

1:50 at this point in observation the subjects showed a brief glimpse of self awareness

[iskriii]

I'm sure the captain of that ship you illegally boarded will cooperate. 😂😂😂

[thisismyrealname]

If these guys joined the US military all Americans would be speaking Chinese within five years

[macaw]

I've never wanted to try eating whale but now I do. Thank you Sea Shepherds!

[fermiticus]

Taking out just one whale...saves billions of krill.
Krill lives matter!

[quaidwalsh]

You know what makes me laugh.
The fact they think they have authority to board and arrest a captain of a whaling boat.
Whaling is legal and what the sea Shepards are doing is illegal.

[terryogletree]

Why don't you just ask them to please lower a ladder

[vidaett]

Wouldn`t this just classift the "Sea Shepperds" as pirates? I mean, they have no right whatsoever to do what they do.
