I don't think they should have abandoned him either. It is a shame indeed! And yes I feel that we are responsible for the creature beings of this planet because they are the greatest gifts ever given us by the creator. Thank you for the replies! Blessings all!<br />

I agree with Carolyn, for me, it's a shame that sea shepherd decided to abandon him in this difficult situation! He must feel quite alone now!!!!! you don't do that to a member of your crew!!!

Thank you Carolyn! I agree about the respect. It is just not right for the New Zealand authorities to not at least seek justice for the Japanese Whaling vessel running over the Ady Gil when It could have been avoided. I heard about the bow and arrow. I still feel he is a hero to the Whales he is bold and brave and does not deserve to be abandoned. The crew of the Nishu Maru II or maybe the Shonan Maru I or II, became violent first. Throwing nuts and bolts into the small boats that were close to…
Thank you Carolyn! I agree about the respect. It is just not right for the New Zealand authorities to not at least seek justice for the Japanese Whaling vessel running over the Ady Gil when It could have been avoided. I heard about the bow and arrow. I still feel he is a hero to the Whales he is bold and brave and does not deserve to be abandoned. The crew of the Nishu Maru II or maybe the Shonan Maru I or II, became violent first. Throwing nuts and bolts into the small boats that were close to them. And they even tried to take the helicopter down with the pilot in it. They had not been this aggressive in the past. And I really do believe that Peter thought his crew was in grave danger. They make no mistake by calling this War because it certainly is. Blessings my friend!<br />

Hi OneCrow,<br />
<br />
The reason SS gave for deserting Pete was because he apparently carried a bow and arrows aboard the Ady Gil, which they say contravened their policy of direct but non violent action.<br />
<br />
The NZ Govt, who also supported Japan in the latest attempt to reintroduce commercial whaling, were never going to support anything the SS did in the Southern Ocean, nor were the Australian Govt. The SS and all aboard were always well aware of that.<br />
<br />

Hi OneCrow,<br />
<br />
The reason SS gave for deserting Pete was because he apparently carried a bow and arrows aboard the Ady Gil, which they say contravened their policy of direct but non violent action.<br />
<br />
The NZ Govt, who also supported Japan in the latest attempt to reintroduce commercial whaling, were never going to support anything the SS did in the Southern Ocean, nor were the Australian Govt. The SS and all aboard were always well aware of that.<br />
<br />
That said, Pete was acting on behalf of the SSCS when he boarded the Japanese vessel, he was not acting alone. Fot SS to abandon Pete in the middle of this trial is a disgrace, and will reflect very poorly on SS and their supporters for years to come.<br />
<br />
As someone who has been an avid supporter of SS for a long time, and has admired Capt. Watson, I certainly find it inexcusable, regardless of their poor and tacky excuse, to abandon this man midway through his trial. I know Paul Watson is an intelligent man, but this decision is difficult to understand.<br />
<br />
No-one worthy of my respect would ever abandon their mate or their colleague under such circumstances. I personally think it's disgraceful behaviour.<br />
<br />
Pete may not be a hero, but he's a man of strong character who has my complete respect. I hope he is afforded the same respect from the Japanese authorities, but based on the treatment they've given the Tokyo 2, I doubt they're capable of seperating the truth from their own agendas.<br />

Here's a good article from NZ about this topic:<br />
