sea shepherd

Violent extremists with no ethics nor morals. They will stop at nothing to force their extremist minority views upon the majority fascism. They have endangered the lives of others, celebrated their deaths, distorted the facts, and attacked others to propagate their cause.
The Canadian coast guard should have torpedoed the farley mowat for endangering lawful seal hunters and for ramming other ships. The sea shepherd’s claims of being in international waters at the time are as preposterous as their antics.

How appropriate of the sea shepherds to bail out two of their farley mowat crew members with twoonies. They wanted to exchange two loonies for a twoonie!

Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization whose mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world’s oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species.

Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately-balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations.

Sea Shepherd campaigns are guided by the United Nations World Charter for Nature. Sections 21-24 of the Charter provides authority to individuals to act on behalf of and enforce international conservation laws.

Sea Shepherd cooperates fully with all international law enforcement agencies and its enforcement activities complying with standard practices of law and policing enforcement.

Sea Shepherd adheres to the utilization of non-violent principles in the course of all actions and has taken a standard against violence in the protection of the oceans.

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... :-(

A lot of crazy bastards sailing about the seas, killing Japanese scientists for killing whales. It's too bad that the eye for an eye revenge strategy doesn't actually make progress happen, or else maybe their tactics would get them somewhere in this world. Of course not.

Yeah, guys, I want my whale brethren to live a peaceful, undisturbed life, too. But you don't see me running around the world killing the Japanese.

It must be realized, however, that anyone willing to sail around the arctic for years, freezing your ass off and risking death, must be mentally unstable anyway. What else did we expect?
Will's dad was a sea shepherd, and so he was constantly being followed around by Animal Planet film crews.

It is the name of the vessel used by Paul Watson and his crew often in dangerous waters such as those near Antarctica for the sole purpose of disrupting the on-going large scale slaughter of numerous whale species. Watson, the captain and leader, is clearly a highly flawed man. Egocentricity is likely one of those flaws, among many others. But even that is closely allied to his extreme dedication to his cause, his fearlessness, perseverance, and his willingness to take risks most others would shrink from, in order to make a real difference. The potential murder of most if not all whale species to the point of extinction, would not only be a great crime, but a permanent stain on the entire human species. The real point is that the sea shepard was engaged in activities that in a sane, ethically functioning world would have been carried out by the proper authorities. In the gaping vacuum left by indifference and inaction, Paul Watson dared to step in. Although true that it would be foolish to be pro-vigilante as such. I think it depends. My sense is that in 5o years time (or less) Mr. Watson, that flawed, obsessed, aggressive activist, who no doubt strayed off the reservation of more acceptable protest, will be utterly vindicated and the whalers grandchildren more or less ashamed - even though it's their governments and industry bosses that are really to blame. Bottom line, Paul Walker saved a shit load of whales. That's good enough in my book.
I highly recommend the documentary Eco-Pirate, the Story of Paul Watson, which includes the adventures of the sea shephard. It not only covers a lot of ground in terms of modern history, giving context to Paul's struggles and passion as well as to the founding and early days of Greenpeace, but also gives a fair, that is both sympathetic and critical, overview of the man's life. Only if one was dead set against the subject of the film with something of a prejudicial distaste already in your mouth, might I say this movie's not for you. On the other hand if you give the slightest crap about marine life, conservation or the dilemmas facing committed activists then definitely check it out.

The SeaSheperd Of Bath Salts

The SeaShepards Of Bath Salts include When whale whores and bath salts mate from bad pocket watches, broken dreams and bad whale blubber. When cooked in a dark arts caldron the overflow of hypnosis has a foul stench and a over burden of incest. The Captain is mom made with a slight hit of her brother and a hum from her uncle.
