Paul Watson, the activist that Captains the ship, has literally sunk other vessels and if I remember correctly, he may have blown one up. He's literally an ecoterrorist. I don't like whaling but all he really did was force whalers to hunt more whales because they would ruin the whale carcass.
Edit: I can't find evidence of him trying to blow up a ship. I don't know where I heard that from
He didn’t force anybody to hunt more whales - that is a perverse understanding of the events. The whalers and the countries that support them should have stopped this arcane and unpopular practice. Ego killed whales, not Sea Shepherd.
He is wanted by Interpol. He is accused of all sorts of vandalism and endangering human lives. SS say that they are just trying to enforce local laws and on shark finning and such.
Vigilantism at best terrorism at worst.
They put their lives on the line to stop illegal and immoral whaling operations. People shouldn’t kill whales. Most nations do nothing, or worse, support this devastating industry. When governments won’t enforce laws and protect the innocent it is left up to the people. We should all be thankful for the work they’ve done.
