Interesting but I don't think there's much truth to it.

In a letter to Pete, Paul is clearly upset with his actions once Pete was captured and therefore expressed his true opinion (despite what was said on camera at the time) which was basically "it was your fault for the loss of your ship"

We still will be providing you with funds for the Ady Gil despite having spent a half a million on your defence and despite the fact that the vessel was lost because you were negligent. We have put the best face possible on it but let’s be honest Pete, there is no excuse for not having your vessel under control in the vicinity of a hostile ship. The Shonan Maru #2 was able to destroy your ship because you allowed them to do so. You took no evasive action. You and your crew were busy thumbing your noses at the Japanese and ironically laughing at how ineffective they were. You lost the ship Pete and if you were in the Navy you would have been court marshalled for what you allowed to happen.

Pete and his crew went down to the Antarctic with completely the wrong mentality. I know not everything is shown on camera but you can clearly tell his crew were down there just for some violence and adrenalin seeking whereas the Steve Irwins crew is far more organised and less gung ho. And I think the Bob Barkers crew will go exactly the same way as the Ady Gil unfortunately.
 
As far as Im concerned, anyone who practices Whaling deserves to die by having a harpoon fired into their body and exploded.

Its a disgusting practices, and its sickening that anyone could honestly condone it.

Naievety here I think.
You need to do some research into how whaling is conducted. Fish are not harpooned and take hours to die.

I know how they die and fish are suffocated. Farm animals especially non British, are held in appalling conditions for a year or so before being humanely killed.

Can we have one set of rules, not it's ok for this as I eat meat, but I don't eat whales therefore it's wrong.
 
Thing I'm most ****ed off about is that if true, they ruined a fantastic piece of engineering for a publicity stunt. That boat was something else. Then a rich idiot gives it to a bunch of hippies.
