Why do people call them pirates? The Sea Shepherd logo is clearly not intended to appeal to adventurous young boys.

That’s right folks. Those wacky whale lovers of the Sea Shepherd organisation need our help. After taking the law into their own hands and sailing around the Southern Ocean attempting to terrorize the Japanese whaling fleet into ceasing all activities, these poor, completely innocent activists are crying foul over collisions between theirs and the Japanese ships.

After the sinking of their super-expensive future-boat, the Ady Gil last month, the militant hippies activists are claiming that the Japanese whaler, Yushin Maru 3 intentionally rammed their motor vessel, the Bob Barker (motor vessels run on diesel fuel and cost millions of dollars, incidentally. Very environmental).

The leader of the Sea Shepherd organisation and captain of the Steve Irwin,  Paul Watson (who was kicked out of Greenpeace for wanting to take the organisation in a violent direction) has been calling on the Australian Government to do something about the Japanese whaling activities for some time. Rather than pursuing their agenda in a court of law, though, the organisation would prefer the Boys-Own-Adventure style of excitement allowing them to spend millions of dollars on ships and fuels to “do battle” with the Japanese in the largely un-monitored Southern Ocean.

There’s an organisation based in the Deep South of the USA that makes similar claims about pushing their agenda and “upholding their rights”.

Vigilantism: When will the Government come to the party?

Russell Crowe and Terri Irwin have united to save the universe from peole who aren't as smart as them...

In a continuation of his brilliant scientific career, New Zealand actor Russell Crowe has told US chat-show host David Letterman that everyone should sign a petition to “save” some of terri Irwin’s real estate from the EVIL of a Queensland mining company.

The property under debate was bought by the Federal Government for $6.3 Million and GIVEN to the “Irwin Family Trust”, 2 years AFTER the company Cape Alumina was given permission to mine in the area. Cape Alumina have carried out 3 separate environmental impact studies – with another yest to be completed – on the effects of their proposed bauxite mine in the area now known as “Steve’s Place” to honour the deceased animal molester and national hero (of America).

While terri Irwin has been telling everyone (via the very crap http://www.savestevesplace.com), she has been getting quotes on putting up sever kilometres of electrified fence to keep the cattle she plans to run on the property in check.

So according to the very environmentally minded Terri:
Mining = bad
Cattle = good

Just have a look at some of Australia’s soil-salinity problems and waterway pollution as a result of cattle-farming.
She certainly loves the environment and not her wallet.
