I heard next season the Sea Sheppard will be out on Stellwagen Starting April 15th running down all the rec and charter boats trying to cod fish.

Sea Sheppard and its Capt are a menace on the ocean. Eventually someone will get killed and at that point someone will get locked up hopefully for a long time.

agreed, altho i dont agree with whaling and tuna wrangling ( like that tuna wranglers show) these people are nothing but earthy crunchy live and let live hippie types...these are the same people that are anti hunters and follow you to your deer stand banging pots and pans....
i too agree that if this stuff wasnt going on they would be after the rec fishers too. someone will definatly get hurt or killed on that crew sooner or later, they already had a boat sunk because they tried to cut off a boat 20x there size.

one of these day's .. one of those sea shepard boats are going to get blown to smitherines by some forgien country.. it's just a matter of time.

for them.. it's all about a cause... and I agree... it's only a matter of time before they harrass recreational anglers... if they dont do it allready...my guess is, there wouldn't be quite the same sentiment towards them if they harrassed a family out on a cod charter...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

I definitely agree that they get a little dangerous and are careless. However, I like what they are trying to do. They are only targeting people that they feel are breaking the law, or in some cases people that are taking advantage of poorly written laws and loopholes.

To me, I do not think a group like Sea Shepperds would ever touch recs. or comm. vessels doing things legally.

I'd like to see them mess with The Hillstrand Brothers from Deadliest Catch better yet, most of the tuna fleet fishing the bank for that matter!!!!

Hahahaha.... That would be funny. The Hillstrands would probably shoot off a bunch off fireworks at the Sea Shepperd helicopter. Would make for good TV anyway

Uh, they shoot fireworks at their crew for fun. That boat packs very heavy, and I dare say they would never get prop fouled by anyone.

the problem is that most of the people they go after ar following laws for those countries. The Sea Shepards don't agree with those laws, so they feel justified in doing what "they feel is necessary". In fact, in the latest series about the pilot whale hunting in the norwegian islands, the capt of the sea shepard even said that he didn't recognize their laws and would do what ever it takes to save those whales, because that's justice. A little scary to me.

The Canadian government has already taken a Sea Sheppard ship a few years ago causing some of the other wildlife groups to distance themselves
