Ghostrider Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 ^^ I take it that they've suddenly come in to £520,000 then, and are willing to part with it? That said, them leaving can never happen too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 ^^ I'm sure the Knab could possibly manage to "nudge" them on to something shallow as they tried to leave if they haven't. The Loofa Baa seems to catch out a few visiting boats, A largeish vessel permanently perched on it would do quite well as a marker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) I'm sure either DHMarine or maybe Thulecraft could maybe sell them a new one.... This afternoon, the Sea Shepherd ship, Sam Simon, stopped in the Shetland Islands to refuel.To the surprise of the crew, while in port, Scottish authorities seized the small boat at the request Danish authorities. https://www.facebook.com/seashepherdglobal/photos/a.130474138258.105123.122102628258/10153607945048259/?type=1&theater Edited September 1, 2015 by Ghostrider whalsa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironwithin Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Good to see the long arm of the law has caught up with them. whalsa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whalsa Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 It has caused quite a stir on social media already with many criticising "The Shetlands" for upholding the law. Some are even threatening to boycott Shetland. However will we survive? Suffererof1crankymofo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I wonder which of our 'laws' they have broken to get themselves arrested... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capeesh Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 I see the Danish navy sent a warship over to seize the punt.Seems a bit excessive to me, it's like lancing a boil with a harpoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George. Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Sink da sea shepherd as she leave Lerik. What a good idea!!! We could also encourage mankind to use and abuse each and every form of sea life for no good reason, too. Acid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgonzola Butt-cheese Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Get a grip George , pilot whales are not endangered and they are eating them. You are just being a sensationalist fairy. If you want to get all self righteous about abuse of the planet why not go for something that is having a global impact ? The monoculture of palm oil & the eradication of huge swathes of the planets tropical jungle to grow soya to feed all the cattle which the bulk of the human race over-eats. This faroese tradition is sustainable and they have every right to do so if they wish. whalsa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George. Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 The Faroese tradition probably is sustainable, Cheesy, but IMHO it's carried out in a particularly cruel manner. All the whales that they choose to kill could be killed quicker, therefore there would be less time spent scaring the s**t out of the b*ggers. As to your comments about the amount of jungle that is cut down to grow soya, provide cheap wood etc, it is also wrong. It's a huge waste of a major resource that provides oxygen for man to breath and it's not justifiable. Look at the Amazon and consider the waste and destruction carried out there. They're even taking away the homelands of ancient tribes of man that have never needed to communicate with modern man until now. What honest reason is there for taking away their form of life? The greed of mankind is not an acceptable excuse. Acid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iiboy Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Why no protest when da farmers caa dir lambs in at da end o da year for killing???Just folk going around dir normal day.

Urabug Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 iiboy it is obvious that you are not familiar with the way the whales are slaughtered,compared to the humane procedure for the lambs. Either that or you are being sarcastic. I to would have no problem with a few whales being caught for food if they were humanly slaughtered. This is 2015 not 1915 George. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Scorrie Posted September 5, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) I agree with seals being culled when necessary...humanely. I have no problem with any sustainable animal being killed for food providing it is done humanely. I have no problem with shooting for the pot or as a measure to control numbers when necessary - providing it is done humanely, I do it myself. I have absolutely no time for people who drive animals into a log jam and then butcher them inefficiently. And I have even less time for dickheads who blart on about 'tradition' and spout on about 'their ways' as if being native to a pile of sheep-turd infested rocks in the middle of nowhere gives them some sort of superiority over anyone who has moved on and who does not agree with this outdated and barbaric practice. Welcome back to the C19th, folks. Anyone for dog fighting being put on the school curriculum at Anderson? No doubt some halfwit will say it's no different to sheep headbutting each other.
