This will end in people's lives being lost this year I think. It's really escallating beyond control.
A legacy of Steve Irwin of course and his Wildlife Warriors.
Here's what
Wiki has to say about it/them:
Quote:
In contrast to Greenpeace, which maintains a policy of avoiding causing damage to whaling ships in the oceans, Sea Shepherd endorses a deliberate policy of sinking or sabotaging vessels they believe have violated international whaling law.[4] As a result, Greenpeace has officially disavowed any connection to Sea Shepherd and refused to assist their efforts, stating "... we are not going to help people who have said they will use violence. We are here to save the whale, not put the lives of whalers at risk."[5]
Sea Shepherd is based in Friday Harbor, Washington, in the United States and Melbourne, Australia for its Southern Hemisphere operations, and has a fleet of three vessels it calls "Neptune's Navy": the RV Farley Mowat, the MV Steve Irwin, and the RV Sirenian, as well as several smaller boats.[6]
