Sea Shepherd seizes illegal longlines in the Galapagos

On July 1st, the crew of the Farley Mowat hauled in 30 nautical miles of longline, including 270 baited hooks.

Two yellow-finned tuna, one sting ray, and a five-foot manta ray, all alive, were released, as well as fifteen dead yellow-finned tuna.

Wow, Sea Shepherds acually doing something productive.

@cchris000043 Your sarcasm means nothing without context.

This is fucking idiotic! i work at a norwegian longliner, if someone wore messing with the longlines, i would fucking destroy them to the ground. Come on Paul Watson, let's what you got!

[zingtea]

Bring it on, asshole. Longlining is illegal in the Galapagos National Park.

is it true they have gay orgies onboard this ship?

[zingtea]

Maybe; I can see why you'd want to join.

Sea Shepherd is one of the only organizations doing anything productive to try and stop ocean species from disapearing. Keep going Sea Shepherd <3 Wish I was out there with you guys.

@zingtea ahaha, I like you :)

[Nymphonicx]

@zingtea Agreed

I don't know why people call sea shepherd a terrorist organisation. those people complain but they haven't done anything to stop pilot whale slaughter or shark finning. Sea shepherd needs to keep going :) I love them.

@zingtea I agree with the stopping of longline fishing. I dont not agree with the action they take in Antarctic. They do nothing to stop the killing of whales.
