Last year, the Japanese whaling fleet surprised the Sea Shepherd with a new long-range acoustic device designed to disorient and keep the group at bay. In a nutshell, it sounded something like a high-pitched shrill similar to that of a smoke detector. While annoying, it definitely did not keep Paul Watson and Co. from continuing to be a nuisance — and it appears to have inspired them to bring their own “music”.
Pete Bethune, captain of the new Sea Shepherd stealth boat “Ady Gil”, has revealed that he’ll be blaring the song “Tangaroa” from NZ musician Tiki Taan. “It’s a pretty spooky dark song and it’s got this sort of ethereal Maori chant going on it and I don’t think they’ll like it at all,” he told a NZ Radio station. “It’s a little bit of mind games. We’re not down there to make friends with them – we’re down there to intimidate them and disrupt them and see what we can do to make life difficult.”
To broadcast the music, Bethune has installed an array of speakers on the Ady Gil capable of producing 9,000 watts of sound. He plans to crank it while circling the harpoon ships and getting in between them and the whales. Have a listen to Tangaroa below — and yes, it sounds much better than a smoke detector.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
crank that sound up sea sheperd and drive those illegal japanese whale kilers NUTS!
Police have begun using these tactics more frequently against activists, so it’s incredibly refreshing to see Watson and crew co-opt these tactics.
Sounds like a fantastic idea! I actually love that song. It reminds me of home (home being NZ)
p.s you spelt Tiki Tane’s name incorrectly :p
Go Sea Shepherd!!
Awesome guys…. give ‘em hell.
Give them a taste of their own medicine!
Watching the exploits of the Sea Shepherd I often wondered why they didn’t use the Helicopter to drop the buteric acid straight on to the deck or the ramp where the Whales are brought up.
Big Up to the Sea Shepherd!!!
I wondered the same thing, it must be seriously illegal or something to bomb them from the chopper.
I don’t think it is illegal, but it would be more likely to harm someone than manual deployment.
It is actually highly illegal to drop something from the chopper, Breach of the ATS and would cause the pilot to lose his FAA license.
OH MY DOG! I loved the song!!!!!
He should play some Armin Van Buuren remix.
Ironic that the Maori´s used to eat whale, and are trying to get the right to do it again…
This whole thing sounds like a bunch of children playing games.
To Dan,Maori only ate the Whales that stranded themselves on the beach,they never hunted them until Whalers entered the Pacific.PS,they arent “trying to get the right to do it again” as you’ve ill-informly said so.
