Sea Shepherd environmental activists say Japanese whalers ‘rammed’ their ships
Environmental campaigners from the militant Sea Shepherd group said on Wednesday a Japanese whaling ship had “rammed” its vessels in a skirmish in the Southern Ocean.
Sea Shepherd director Bob Brown said the Japanese factory boat the Nisshin Maru had deliberately collided with boats crewed by anti-whaling campaigners, the Steve Irwin and the Bob Barker.
Brown, the former leader of Australia’s Greens party, said the Japanese boat had “repeatedly rammed” the Australian boats, adding that the Japanese had also lobbed concussion grenades onto their decks.
“This is grand piracy,” he said, adding that the actions of the Japanese breached a number of international and domestic laws.
Sea Shepherd spokesman Jeff Hansen said the Steve Irwin had been struck on the stern and right hull.

Whaling today is probably the most humane act we could perform. We are going to see a very high percentage of marine mammals dying off through out the Pacific ocean as a direct result of the Fukishima reactor leaks.
