Sea Shepherd, and the heroes who operate under their name, just saved 500 whales from being slaughtered by Japanese poachers! They will continue to put their lives on the line to protect innocent marine life from being massacred, ILLEGALLY I might add.
So, Piss off for calling Sea Shepherd terrorists. You have no idea what you are talking about. The only objective is clear, to slander... :-(
