Sea Shepherd's Steve Irwin collide against Japanese Whalers' vessel

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society

Yesyerday Sea Shepherd's ship, the M/Y Steve Irwin collides with the stern of Japanese harpoon whaling ship, the Yushin Maru No. 2 while factory ship the Nisshin Maru, background, processes a newly caught minke whale in the Ross Sea, Antarctic Sea. Sea Shepherd claimed that the harpoon vessel moved in to block the Steve Irwin's attempt to prevent the transfer of a dead whale up the slipway of the Nisshin Maru. No one was injured. Japan is condemning the clash, calling it unforgivable. In my humble opinion the only thing unforgivable here is killing endangered species of whales.

While thr picture above was taken from the Steve Irwin, the following video came from the Nisshin Maru
