Sea Shepards War

Pete "Brass Balls and in Deep Shit" Bethune

In the news we didn't ever want to hear department especially on World Oceans Day:

Sea Shepard Admiral and Founder Paul Watson has publicly cut ties with one his own - anti-whaler Pete Bethune. Bethune, Captain of the Ady Gil, a ship pulverized by Japanese whalers last year, was caught carrying a bow and arrows on his little but fastest ship in the world, The Ady.

Admiral Watson's decision to forever be a non-violent A-Team for the whales has left Bethune in a world of shit.

Here's a quick recap:
"Mr Bethune is facing five charges in Japan after he boarded a Japanese whaling ship, the Shonan Maru 2, in the Antarctic in February.

He said he wanted to perform a citizen's arrest of its captain and present a bill for damage to the Ady Gil, which had earlier been destroyed in a crash with the whaler.

But he was instead detained on board and taken to Japan, where he was arrested.

He has pleaded guilty to charges of trespassing, vandalism, possession of a knife and obstructing business, but denied assault. He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. "

First of all, he boarded the Japanese ship to enact a citizens arrest! Classic case of either brass balls or pure stupidity. We're going with brass balls.

Secondly, we've watched the show and agonized over the fact that the Shepard's aren't using enough hard-core tactics. If the Japanese want to throw shit at the Shepard's and bombard them with water canons, what's a little bow and arrow going to do? We're with Pete.

Thirdly, it was well known that the bow and arrows were there to shoot chemicals on board the Japanese ship to taint the whale meat. The Sea Shepard's try to make sure that even if they can't save the whale, that it won't be sold for profit.

And finally, THE JAPANESE TRIED TO MURDER HIM AND HIS CREW WHEN THE DELIBERATELY RAN HIS SHIP OVER IN AN ATTEMPT TO MURDER/MAIM THE CREW AND SINK THE ADY GIL. REPEAT: THEY TRIED TO MURDER HIM AND THEN HAD HIM ARRESTED FOR HARASSING THEM. ASSHOLES!

WTF Factor 10!

The Admiral is trying to make sure that his organization isn't shut down and is distancing himself from Pete Bethune. We get that. It's just a super-sad situation.

Captain Bethune is considered a Political Prisoner and needs our help NOW.

We're always with you, Captain!

Pete's trial started a week ago in Tokyo. He needs your support. The Anti-Shepard's are out in full force screaming for his blood every day outside the courthouse. The trial should have ended yesterday. Stay tuned for updates.
