@bcouttie Steve Irwin left Southampton about the 22nd October 2011 after spending 5 weeks in port.

[bcouttie]

@hoppy82 That's a very long detention.

Illegal or legal it seems loke the right thing to do, good job Sea Shepards.

If SSCS only attack poacing why SSC need to pay 520,000GBP?

SSCS never won law suit because SSCS did illegal activity.

@romika4, are you a moron? Firstly, read the text.  It says the vessel WAS a Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency ship for 28 years. Secondly, the Sea Shcpherd Conservation Society does NOT attack legal fishermen, only those poaching or violating other laws. Get your facts straight!

@LordAeduard Thank you your comment and has been noted the ship has been registered with Sea Shepherd Convervation since beginning of November 2006 when first known as Robert Hunter and then as from 01-12-2007 known as Steve Irwin, my information had come from reliable sources, I have adjusted my decription slightly as I have re-read what I had noted down.

@LordAeduard Legal Fishermen Attacked:

- sealers of Eastern Canada

- fishermen of the Fareo Islands

- a group of fishermen involved in LEGAL tuna harvest

- Japanese fishermen harvesting dolphins

In all the above examples there was no poaching or violating of laws, get your facts straight. Paul Waston and the SSCS selects issues based on their media and money making potential and they have been given no authority of enforce the rule of law.

@romika4 Hahaha wtf are you saying get your facts straight !!!

[romika4]

The Steven Irwin is not a fisheries protection vessel. They have been given no mandate by anyone to attack legal fishermen.

@romika4 Your comment has been noted and yes I had made an initial descriptive mistake which has now been corrected within my text.
