Whaling pair 'leave Japan ship'
Two activists who boarded a Japanese whaling vessel have been handed to an Australian ship after a two-day Antarctic stand-off, officials say.
Of course, these two were never charged by the Australian government with notifying the Japanese, these two morons just took it upon themselves.
In the middle of the night.
With a bottle of rum.
And a jar of acid (no, *NOT* LSD!)
But they were there peacefully.
The Japanese just wanted them off the ship. They have dealt with Sea Shepherd before and have had ships damaged as a result.
I think these two were lucky. The Japanese just wanted them off the ship.
The BBC spoke with a spokeswoman from Sea Shepherd who lauded the pair as though they were heros. And the BBC gave full support (by only airing the one side of the story, of course.)
Why do I say the pair were lucky? If *I* were the captain of the Japanese vessel, since they came in the middle of the night with a jar of acid, I would have had them held for trespassing...
Or better yet, as pirates...
They are still hanging pirates, aren't they?
