Chapter 1501 This is murder
Xiao Peng's guess was correct. The "black ship" suddenly accelerated, charging at the small speedboats that were driving the whales away like a shark entering a school of fish. The difference in tonnage between the two ships was quite significant. Xiao Peng watched helplessly as the two ships that failed to dodge were smashed by the "black ship"! The people on board fell into the water one after another! The crowd on the beach also heard exclamations and cries.
"Fuck! This is murder!" Xiao Peng got anxious and jumped off the balcony and rushed to the beach!
How could this not be murder? The Black Ship's advance created a huge current, and falling into the water at this time was extremely dangerous!
If it were someone else, Xiao Peng wouldn't care, but he just saw that many of those boats were children! After all, this was also a coming-of-age ceremony for the local children!
Seeing so many children fall into the water, Xiao Peng really couldn't just stand by and watch them die! Bruch was still eating fried whale meat. After placing the whale meat on the small table, he also jumped down. The height of the second floor was not a problem for him.
As a result, as soon as the two jumped off the building and rushed out of the yard in the rain, they were surrounded by several policemen.
"Stay in the hotel and don't go out!" a policeman yelled at them.
Xiao Peng cursed: "Are you fucking sick? Didn't you see someone fell into the water? Go save them!"
The police officer said directly: "That is also our police's business! Foreigners are prohibited from entering the 'Grindalap' venue during the 'Grindalap' period."
This is Faroese law. They know their whaling activities can easily cause social backlash, but they can't stop their tradition. So, they've implemented strict controls on foreigners during the Gradalap period. All foreign tourists are closely monitored by local police to prevent the spread of videos and photos of whale slaughter. Even tourists' photography equipment is carefully inspected upon entry and exit.
These policemen were sitting in the police car next to the hotel, taking shelter from the rain and chatting while looking at Xiao Peng and the others. Of course they were unhappy that Xiao Peng and the others came out and made them get wet in the rain!
Xiao Peng said angrily, "Then hurry up and save them! There are a lot of children drowning there!"
"That's our colleagues' business, not our mission!" said another policeman. "Our mission is to keep an eye on you and not let you get through!"
Xiao Peng was anxious: "I didn't bring any photography equipment! I'm a good swimmer and could help! People call me the 'salvage king', have you heard of me?"
He was really anxious. This was the first time he had said his nickname, "Salvage King." He had always thought it was silly and childish.
Several policemen shook their heads, and one of them even said disdainfully, "I'm Odin, the 'King of the Gods.' Have you heard of me?"
Xiao Peng was furious: "Bruch! Do it!"
He kicked the policeman who claimed to be Odin, the 'King of the Gods,' out! Bruch was even quicker than him—he had guessed this outcome the moment he heard the policeman speak and had already prepared for it!
The two of them quickly knocked all the policemen to the ground, leaving them wailing in pain. Xiao Peng saw their police car and said, "Bruch, drive!"
The two men hijacked the police car and rushed to the beach.
The beach was now a chaotic mess, with people staring in disbelief at the events unfolding at sea: the black ship was still ramming the smaller boats. One small boat exploded and burned from the collision. Some boats, though damaged, survived the collision, but the people on board were terrified, with children crying on board. The situation at sea was truly horrific.
Xiao Peng took a look and saw that although there were some policemen on the beach, they seemed helpless when they saw the scene.
As soon as the two of them got out of the police car, people noticed Xiao Peng: "How could there be yellow policemen when there aren't even black policemen here?" But how could Xiao Peng get out of the police car?
"Bruch!" Xiao Peng said, "See if there are any chains?" He wanted to imitate the 'Sea Guardian' and use chains to wrap the propeller to deal with the black ship.
This time they really went too far!
In 2014, Sea Shepherd disrupted the Gradalap ceremony in the Faroe Islands, resulting in injuries. Consequently, the Faroe Islands enacted legislation prohibiting any Sea Shepherd vessels from operating there. This is also why they do not fly their national flag or publicly display their vessel names.
Protecting animals is certainly right, but you can't harm humans to protect them. Sea Shepherd is so radical, and that's why other environmental groups distance themselves from them.
If you really want to deal with the whaling ships, go deal with the Japanese! Why are you looking for the Faroese?
Although both are whaling people, the Faroese and the Japanese are different: lamb and whale meat are their staple meats! Whale blubber is their food and fuel! They hunt whales for a living.
In fact, the Faroese are also trying to change this. They now only hunt long-finned pilot whales, a small species of dolphin, about five or six meters long and similar in appearance to dolphins. The Faroe Islands kill between a few hundred and two or three thousand whales each year: this catch only accounts for about one thousandth of the long-finned pilot whale population.
The Faroese hunt this species of whale in compliance with the International Whaling Commission's regulations. The International Union for Conservation of Nature also considers long-finned pilot whales not endangered, and the Faroese average annual catch of fewer than 1,000 pilot whales poses no threat to the population. This is a balancing act between protecting traditional culture and whale conservation, unlike the Japanese who hunt whatever whales they can find.
People say that we hunt whales for scientific research purposes, so no matter whether they are endangered or not, we will kill them all!
Because of this, even though the Ocean Protectors are fighting like crazy against Japanese whaling ships in Antarctica, they still have many supporters, and their supporters are the kind of people with deep pockets who are willing to donate money to them. Just look at the fleet of the Ocean Protectors and you will know that after decades of development, they have a huge fleet.
After all, their approach is more in line with the Western moral value of "fighting violence with violence."
But just because of this, they could casually take someone's life? And there were so many children? Xiao Peng really couldn't accept this.
Bruch looked around: "No chains, but plenty of ropes."
These ropes are tools used by locals to catch whales: the thick ropes have iron hooks on top. When a whale is stranded, people use the iron hooks to hook the whale's breathing hole and then pull the whale ashore.
Bruch quickly found a long rope and handed it to Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng took off his clothes, grabbed a bundle of ropes and jumped into the blood-red sea.
Damn, this sea water is fishy!
