The footage was shot by Australian Customs personnel in 2008 but has only now been publicly released, following a long Freedom of Information fight that began in 2012.

The Australian Government was concerned that its release would harm diplomatic relations with Japan.

Sea Shepherd's managing director Jeff Hansen has described the vision as "harrowing".

"You see minke whales swimming at 16, 17 knots to try and outrun these harpoon ships, before being hit with an explosive harpoon that sends shrapnel through their bodies," he said

"Hooks come out, and they dive deep, you can see see them diving to try and get away from this cable which they're attached to and they're slowly dragged back to the surface, before they're met with the gunner on the harpoon ship who then shoots them.

Is it legal or illegal whaling? If legal who cares. Yes animals tend to struggle when something is trying to murder them.
