Ady Gil
What do you get when you combine the Steve Irwin and the Earthrace??
This:
Now she really looks like she belongs to the Batman!
Earthrace has been bought by the Sea Shepherd Organization, painted in their house-colors and will now also be used to prevent the shooting of whales in the Antartic.
So Whalehunters: please be aware….and afraid, very afraid! Because this ugly ship is coming your way!

Yesterday published here and immediately in the World News:

F them nips looks like they are reverting back to their kamakazi ways I hope the next boat they ram is full of explosives and sends them to swim with the fishes they like kiilling so much.
F’n douche bags. we should drop a nuke on their stupid country
We totally should nuke them, human life is worth about the same as a fish, we should kill every of them for every fish they kill!
Whoa. Tough crowd in here today…
It’s very interesting to see the three videos together. It does *seem* as though the Japanese ship veered towards the AG, but I’m also aware that the AG was not totally innocent in all of this. Thanks for putting these 3 together.
I must say, I thought Earthrace was a stunning piece of engineering. It’s odd what a change of paintwork can do to change the whole ‘character’ of the vessel.
Sea Shepherd is selling a t-shirt listing the boats that their own vessels have rammed and in some cases sunk.
