i've said it before and i'll say it again...
The Sea Shepherds are "ECO-WARRIORS", not eco-terrorists!
They're not eco-terrorists if they're the ones trying to assist in the ecology's preservation.
It's like having two people: one is burning trees, the other is trying to put the fires out.
Which is the "eco-terrorist"?
Compassion is not terrorism...
How are they "terrorists" for trying to prevent the illegal slaughter of endangered and protected species? Everyone knows they're not "real" pirates either. Pirates steal and kill. The Sea Shepherds are borrowing the current popularity of pirates in their attempt to raise the awareness on what's happening in the Southern Ocean. Publicity! That's all. They don't even use guns and haven't broken any laws.
If they were terrorists, the CIA would've stormed them and shot Paul Watson just like they did with Osama bin Killed.
Note: Paul is a lot easier to find.
For people to get so much enjoyment out of harming something as beautiful and intelligent a Whale or a Dolphin is deplorable!
Intelligence is the ability to live in harmony with the natural world.
The slaughter of great whales has no place in the 21th century.
An old Cree Indian Prophecy:
Only after the last tree has been cut down,
Only after the last fish has been caught,
Only after the last river has been poisoned,
Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.
OK people will not ever stop eating animals, but there are guidelines that should be followed:
1) Don't kill animals whose subsistence is in question.
2) Kill quickly and humanely.
3) Replenish.
4) Respect an animal's sanctuary!
The poachers ignore all of these basic common sense points of logic human decency.
Japan is not a poor country anymore. Hasn't been for a long time. They needn't kill ANY Whales to survive.
The Sea Shepherds are all about protecting a helpless species who are under attack by superior forces, just like if aliens with advanced technology were to attack humans! Pretending it's research doesn't excuse breaking a law.
Some call the SSCS "ineffective" because they don't use enough force.
Then some call them "terrorists" for using aggressive tactics.
Like Locusts, poachers will deplete a species and lower it to endangered levels, then move on to the next one and claim "Well, this one over here is not endangered. There's nothing wrong with us hunting this kind".
There's no healthy population of Whales. We have to save the oceans to save ourselves. If the oceans die, we die.
People who call the Sea Shepherds terrorists don't seem to know much about terrorism. The Sea Shepherds have ALL their activities and their names and their faces up on your TV screen every week!
If someone wants to call them terrorists, that means they're saying the japanese are terrified by stinkbombs ☺
I wouldn't call them eco-terrorists, nor eco-warriors.
I call them eco-wannabes.

Think about that for a moment...
"Eco" and "Wannabe"?
Eco: Relating to our world's ecology / ecosystem.
Wannabe: A slang representing one who aspires to emulate another's success in some area.
Explain. Are you saying the Sea Shepherds want to be THEMSELVES?

The whale killers of the Faroe Islands are sick vikings!
Faroe whalers are bully neanderthals who are not killing the helpless whales for science or for food.
They are doing it for SPORT... for fun!!! What they call a "passage into manhood".

If sea shepherds are "eco terrorists" then teens who egg houses should be considered terrorists.

Exactly. For the japanese to claim the Sea Shepherds are terrorists would mean the whalers are saying they're terrified of stink bombs.

@info145 The Sea Shepherds assaulted Japanese Whalers throwing glass bottle filled with chemical during the research whaling. Some of whalers have cut their faces or had to wash their eyes immediately because of chemical. The Sea Shepherd. Dangerous terrorists.

So many scumbags try to use misdirection. They try to shift the focus off of their peoples' dirty deeds and onto something else, in the hopes that people will villanize THAT instead, and leave them alone so they can continue the things we don't want them to do.
"Terrorist" and "racist" are the evil scary words to use if you want to turn the public against your enemies.
(The whalers encourage the world's blind fools to do their dirtywork for them)
