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
