The Sea Shepherd, the conservation society that stars in Animal Planet’s “Whale Wars,” said that its boat (the Steve Irwin) was followed and attacked by a Japanese ship called the Shonan Maru No 2. According to a Sea Shepherd spokeswoman said that the Shonan Maru followed the Steve Irwin into French waters without permission from the French, and that’s when the 
The spokeswoman said the Steve Irwin helicopter then flew back to film the Shonan Maru in its pursuit. “In response, the crew of the Japanese ship activated their Long Range Acoustical Device (LRAD) at the Sea Shepherd helicopter,” she said. “LRAD is a military class weapon.” [Eh, yes and no. -Ed.] [...]
The Sea Shepherd helicopter returned to the Steve Irwin for safety, at which point the Shonan Maru increased speed and aimed their water canons at the helicopter on the landing pad, the spokeswoman said.
Steve Irwin Captain Paul Watson said the situation was now very dangerous. “We have deliberately led the Japanese ship into thick ice in order to lose them in the ice,” he said. “The icebergs could easily damage either vessel.”
Wow, water cannons and sound waves! It’s like watching two amateur MMA fighters get into a pillow fight! “Watch out, that’s goose down!”
Sorry, as much as I’m against A-hole Japanese whalers, I can’t help but agree with the “South Park” episode that called out the Sea Shepherd for being pussies. Pro-nature groups would be a lot more effective if they were more committed to violence. Someone needs to put the fist into pacifist.

I thought being harassed by our strange cousins from the east was the whole premise of the show.
FACK-A YOU WHARE
Fuck you, whare! Fuck you, dorphin!
Fuck the Whale Wars people. Yeah, whaling is wrong, but what the Steve Irwin people are doing is terrorism. Hell, Paul Watson was kicked out of Greenpeace, for God’s sake.
Paul Watson! The ultimate blowhard/blowfish.
If there’s anything better than drinking on the job (Thanks, holiday party!), it’s the return of the whale wars photoshop.
If the Japanese government issued a Letter of Marque I would gleefully hunt down these self-righteous assholes with a Harpoon. The missile, not the the whale dart.
Just looking at these god damn hippies makes me want to beat a whale to death with my bare hands!
Soooo, why isn’t there a bunch of hippies going hardcore-guns-a-blazin’ at the Japanese?
Here’s what Matt and Trey had to say about SSCS:
“We did a show last season called ‘Whale Whores’ about the ‘Whale Wars’ guys. Everyone is against whaling, we’re not into killing whales, but if you watch ['Whale Wars'] it’s horrible–super fucking boring–and if you watch that show for long enough you will hate the people in it. They say on the show, ‘We will lie for our political ends.’ They SAY that. So our whole show was basically, ‘F*ck you, you guys are liars.’ I don’t f*cking care if it’s in service of saving whales, you’re liars. But we got a thank you letter from them and an environmental award. There’s NOTHING about the environment in that show…but it doesn’t matter, everyone sees their own thing in it. So a lot of our shows where even we think we’ve taken a very deliberate stand, liberals say, ‘That’s awesome, you took on the conservatives’ same show and conservatives say ‘That’s awesome, you took on liberals.’”
Their point in the article is they go after you because you’re acting like a douche not because of what side of an issue you’re on.
“I look at it like this,” Trey added. “I have a cat, I love my cat and it’s like someone coming in and saying, ‘Hey, is that cat a Republican or a Democrat?’ He’s my f*cking cat, leave him alone.”
