Did the Japanese whalers shoot the Sea Shepherd captain...?

Question

Or is it a Greenpeace publicity stunt...?

Answer 1

watch the footage its fake if u know were the plate is in those vests   anyhow they deserve it    that american prick has no right being there attacking people either  if i was on the water with that ship coming at me i would shoot him  that why greens try to change law to stop carrying guns on boats, so they rule water with their pirate ships=isnt gunna happen arseholes

Answer 2

According to Japanese authority, what the maritime safety officials did is just to throw seven balls which explode with big detonating sound in the air in order to warn Sea Shepherd. By the way, the ball is this below.

And now, many Japanese wonder why Sea Shepherd harasses only Japan, but not other whaling countries, such as Norway and Iceland.

Answer 3

i don't think the Japanese would shoot the captain. that would be stupid on many levels.

he dies, Japanese whalers are now murders. he is a marter and  the  Sea Shepherd is right.

he lives, Japanese whalers tried to kill him so he must be right.

also i find it relay suspicious that he was wearing a bullet proof vest and somehow the captain was the only one shot.

PS the Sea Shepherd  is not part of Greenpeace. they actually both spend allot of time criticizing each others methods.

Answer 4

Probably a Greenpeace publicity stunt but I wouldn't blame the whalers for doing it.

Sea Shepherd is a radical eco-militant group you know.
