Sea Shepherd claims the collision was deliberate and part of a sustained attack by three whaling ships on the protestors.  In Sunday's attack, which continued until 9am, the harpoon vessels overtook the Sea Shepherd ships, crossing their bows and coming within three to five metres in numerous "dangerous manoeuvres", Sea Shepherd claimed. 

 

It said the Yushin Maru 3 struck the Bob Barker and quoted the ship's captain, Peter Hammarstedt, and  Siddarth Chakravarty of the Steve Irwin saying the two ships on several occasions had to steer out of the harpoon whalers' paths, narrowly avoiding potential collisions.  "The whaling vessels also made consecutive attempts to foul the propellers of the Sea Shepherd ships by dragging steel cable across the bow of the conservation ships."

Many ask whether the human race - that inflicts so much suffering on other creatures and so much mayhem on planet Earth - deserves to be saved from the many threats looming over their survival today.
