Whale Wars
Tactics (00:58)

Whale Wars
Tactics (01:06)
The Steve Irwin isn't fast enough to catch whaling ships on its own, so it relies on the outboard "fast" boats to get close. A team of four will ride up to a whaling vessel and throw butyric acid and even try to foul a prop of the biggest ships.
Whale Wars
Tactics (01:06)
The Sea Shepherd's weapon of choice is butyric acid. Bottled and thrown onto the decks of whaling ships, it spoils any whale meat it comes in contact with, and makes it almost impossible to work on the deck.
