Sea Shepherd Rammed by Canada Coast-Guard

[@bfbaril]

Let me translate what cutting the footage tried to hide: Eco pirates were actively endangering Canadian hunters by destroying ice around which they were working in Hudson's Bay. This caused the hunters to call for assistance from their government, which responded by sending CCGS Des Groseilliers. CCGS Des Groseilliers decided that Sea Shepherds weren't acting so aggressively as to require aggression, so instead used their ship, an icebreaker, as a shield for the hunters. The SS then try to play chicken with a larger, reinforced ship and lose. So, they then try to cut of said larger ship and play chicken again. They mostly lose, but get ahead, because the CCGS didn't want a scandal so slowed down as to not sink the Farley Mowat. The Farley then gets blocked again, this time far more aggressively, because the CCGS doesn't fuck around and saw a group of hunters in immediate danger of the Farley. The Coast Guard didn't "cut off" or "ram" the Sea Shepherds, it blocked the Sea Shepherds from actively and intentionally endangering the lives of Canadian citizens. The FM rammed the CCGS. Fucking with mislabelled Japanese "research" in the arctic is one thing, actively endangering what is most likely Inuit hunters is a whole other level of eco piracy. Also, shame on the SS for claiming the Farley Mowat is a research vessel when they're clearly there to fuck with the hunters.

[@Crispy052]

lets be frank if a medium class ice breaker as pictured where to "ram" any ship that ship is going straight to the bottom, btw if anyone didn't know the farley mowat was seized by the canadian government impounded then scrapped, point of the story although sealing isn't viewed as right by some endangering lives is viewed as wrong by all so respect the distance, Canada is known to allow protests as long as there conducted safety for all involved and clearly it wasn't

[@sventerprize6224]

The Farley Mowat was later sized when it entered a Canadian port, and I think Watson still has arrest warrants if he enters Canada

[@Polearm]

The rest of the story.. The Farley Mowat was boarded and seized by the RCMP, the captain and first officer arrested for being within 900 metres of a hunt without an observer license. They were deported (which doesn't look good on a passport..) The ship was auctioned and eventually sent off for scrapping.

The making of propaganda. As can be seen, the Sea Shepherd is actually acting unlawfully. For example, approaching from Starboard to claim right of way (which vessel must yield passage to the other) is belied by their overtaking of the other vessel (in which case, overtaking must yield passage). This is all their footage, cut and edited, for manipulative purposes. What can be seen is that the Sea Shepherd's intentions were to kill sealers. I use the word "kill" because their actions were to steam directly at men on the ice, the only outcome would be impact, men (dead and alive) in the water, some caught under the hull of the ship, possibly sucked into the Sea Shepherd's screws, hypothermia. You may not like sealing (I don't) BUT to intentionally endanger human lives is not laudible. Worse are the lies put out.

[@RoughAndWretchedRAW]

The work that Sea Shepard has done in international waters to protect endangered whales is great. But this activity is horse shit. Seals are a managed species in the north where Canadian government protects the hunters but if seal numbers drop they protect the seals by temporarily shutting down all hunting until hunting is sustainable again. Sea Shepard is just morally against all hunting and they haven't got a moral leg to stand on the way they treat people trying to earn a living with their own two hands. Sea Shepard themselves live on donations from culture haters. It's one thing to go out into international waters and defend international laws that countries are breaking. It's an entirely different thing to enter sovereign waters to attack fishermen that are obeying that nation's laws.

[@Inkling777]

Year ago I was sailing on Lake Washington when the Sea Shepherd came out out of its lair. Painted flat black, I have never seen a ship that seemed so spooky and evil. The dark paint seemed deliberate, allowing it to sneak up on other ships at night and ram them. There was only one person on deck. When I waved at him, he looked away, refusing to wave back. I was people rather than a whale, so I didn't matter. Sea Creep might be a better name for this ship than Sea Shepherd.

[@tobascocat1]

Are you telling me that Greenpeace's ships are ALWAYS getting rammed by the other ships? What captain would want to damage their own ships? Why would a Canadian Coast Guard ship want to ram another ship? I think the captain of the greenpeace ship is too stupid. Camera angles cannot determine if the Canadian ship is actually doing the ramming. If anything, greenpeace is steering their ships in the path other ship making it look like a collision incident caused by the other ship.

[@Chapy63]

They were in Canadian waters, and they were boarded by the RCMP and arrested not long after the ramming incident. They didn't show that part in the video, conveniently. They also left the Farley Mowat to rot in Nova Scotia which caused an environmental issue that the government had to deal with. I get what the Sea Shepherd Fondation tries to do, particularly against whale fishing, but they do it all wrong, in a very dangerous way and against the law.

[@DarkLight753]

+hotsteal84 Pete Bethune was Captain of the SS ship Ady Gil when it was sunk by a Japanese whaling vessel. He resigned after admitting that SS 'Admiral' Paul Watson ordered him to let the Ady Gil sink to get better footage for TV cameras and gain public opinion. The Ady Gil could have stayed afloat and been towed to Hobart for repairs. So who are the Criminals? The Coastguard who are doing their job in this vid or Sea Shepherd, whose 'Admiral' orders a Captain to sink a ship so it looks good on TV. I'm against whaling and sealing but Sea Shepherd have totally lost the plot and are now more interested in TV ratings than actually saving marine wildlife. And as a side note, notice that every ship has a Captain. An Admiral is a rank in Naval Armed Forces. Why does Sea Shepherd need an 'Admiral'??? Merchant ships do not have Admirals. As soon as a ship leaves port, the Captain has full and complete command of his vessel. He does not have to take orders from anyone else (onboard or offshore) unless it's from an enforcement agency. Bethune did not have to carry out the order but he did out of respect. And thats what made him resign.

No need to.

The new "captain" of the group has been barred from Canada because of this incident and with Case ID 12-35266 they have a piracy citation hanging over their heads in the states, which could cause them to loose their charity status there.

These “Sea Shepard” people seemed to get “rammed” an awful lot. But it’s always the other guy, right? The only word to describe guy with the mic is “cringe-worthy”. He is also wrong on both the “rules of the road” for navigation, and the laws applicable in international waters. As to navigation, both vessels have a duty to avoid a collision; from his wake it is clear he did not take the steps necessary. As to international waters; registration & vessel class are irrelevant, you are not permitted to interfere in anyone else in their occupation nor in their recreation. Sea Shepard is an international criminal organization, and should be treated as such... I give them less respect than a Somali pirate.

You are correct, Sparta. The Farley Mowat was not in fact in Canadian waters, and therefore was not required to report to a Canadian port as ordered by coast guard officials. The Dutch-registered vessel was in international waters when it was boarded by RCMP officers. Interestingly enough, though the Farley Mowat was seized by Canadian officials and the skipper and first officer arrested, the ship was never arrested nor have charges been brought against the SSCS.
