It says the boats virtually
It says the boat is virtually unable to be detected by radar, but what are they planning on doing once they sneak up on a whaling ship? shoot it?

Hi Ya, Hope it gets hit
Hi Ya,
Hope it gets hit by a whale harpoon and sinks with all on board.
Don't like whaling but dislike Sea Shepherd much, much more.
Cheers.

That thing can dive/drive through waves
up to 8m deep. Designed to smash the round the world record. I dont know how they have gone and wonder why they need this to chase whalers.

Hi Ya,Matt, it might be,
Hi Ya,
Matt, it might be, but I have neither time nor respect for people who deliberately engage in illegal acts justifying their actions because they think the cause they are supporting (in my opinion denigrating) justifies the means.
To me, an illegal act is an illegal act. Further I fail to understand how a person can possible consider the commission of an illegal act can possible prevent a different illegal act. Not quite the same thing but it is like saying I can rape a woman to prevent her committing burglary.

Ha i dont agree i think
Ha i dont agree i think that if it werent for people like the greenies and sea sheppard that go tto the absolute extremes in order to protect wild life set up sanctuaries put there own lives on the line , there would be alot higher extinction rate mate. Yeh they might go to extreme measure but they are doing more to save the environment then most government bodies. for scientific reasearch on a whale you do not need to kill 1000 whales. you only need a small skin sample.
