The hunt in the Mediterranean wasn't legal, and that's why the government operating in the Mediterranean hasn't been able to charge sea shepherd with anything.

The only international territory sea shepherd has operated in is the Antarctic, and they've been doing that for several years along side there typical duties, and you make it as if that were the only thing they did, what a load of garbage.

Defenseless? People throwing knives is what you consider defenseless?

[sorryimsogreat2]

It is not bacteria or algae on whale poop (I like how your terminology on it is trying to be as negative as possible).

Clueless? You said Japan wasn't targeting humpbacks, that is 100% false, its ON PAPER, THEY OPENLY STATE THEY WANT TO KILL HUMPBACK WHALES, how could anyone feel the authority to spin that story?

Murder isn't exclusively human moron, look it up.

[sorryimsogreat2]

You're an idiot, do you not know that sea shepherd has been actively helping to personally clean up the oil spill? Do you not know that they traveled to cuba to educated cuban citizens on how to clean up an oil spill? That's a waste of time? Oh, and saving thousands of whales and bringing international attention and condemnation on Japan is a waste of time?  I believe millions of people would disagree with that. If it weren't important there wouldn't be an organization based around it.

lol yeah, over arguing now.

[NRen2k5]

Wow, talk about random.

[NRen2k5]

You're spindoctoring again. The ship and pen that SS attacked in the Mediterranean were perfectly legal. Sure, there were poachers in the area, but the fishers SS went after weren't them.

Oh yeah, that's right, Sea Shepherd HAS been in some national waters. Right until they got chased off by Coast Guard and Navy ships with machineguns because they were acting illegally. They tend not to go back when their targets are anything but defenseless.

[NRen2k5]

Oh yeah, bacteria or algae on whale shit, okay, fair enough, that makes sense.

As for the humbpacks, nope, you're clueless as ever there. The humpback quota exists only on paper. It isn't that they fail to kill any - the ICR's observation ship has spotted plenty of humpbacks, but they aren't going after any of them.

And you can't murder a whale; whales aren't human.

[NRen2k5]

Of course they can't be everywhere. Which is why they should be in places where they're actually needed. The antarctic is a huge waste of time. And the Gulf is a joke. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations, and what do they do? Fly over a couple of times in a chartered plane and go "yup, there's an oil spill..."

[Ladyluck2806]

lol yep, you are a fucking idiot!
