Greenpeace says the death of a Japanese sailor during the hunt for
whales has brought the controversial season to a premature end.

Earlier this afternoon the body of 27-year-old sailor Kazutaka Makita
was found after going missing on Thursday in a fire that has stranded
the boat.

Greenpeace protest vessel Esperanza arrived today to offer assistance
to the Nishin Maru, with a number of other ships including a heavy re-
supply ship that is tethered to the stricken vessel.

Greenpeace Esperanza expedition leader Karly Thomas says they are
upset at the tragedy, despite the tense relationship they have with
the whaling fleet.


I recently saw a clip of these guys attempting to stop a Japanese
"research"
vessel from hunting whales. I guess until the demand disappears there is
no
reason to want to quit. It is a dirty job, someone has to do it. I believe
there was a collision as well. The greenpeace guys are like pirates. They
may
mean well but they are a dangerous lot of seamen. Have you noticed how
many
times the word collision and Greenpeace show up in the same sentence? I
once
had an opportunity to join a crew. I chose not to for other reasons.

I just posted a youtube vid about the collision. It's not clear who's fault
it was, but I think it was the Japanese boat captain's fault. Of course I'm
a liberal. They sure do have guts... maybe misplaced, but guts.

BTW, it's Nuke the Unborn Gay Whales for Jesus.
