1. Yes, they are....

[MonkeyFunk]

2. good intentions

terrible tactics.

[Gabi Hayes]

4. so say you

ask the whales, seals, sharks, dolphins....

wait a minute, you can't can you?

they don't count as much as humans, though

sorry, I forgot

[MonkeyFunk]

5. That's the good intention part

but vigilantism and terroristic threats shouldn't be supported, no matter the intention behind them.

6. He is enforcing the ban on whaling in Artic Sanctuary

He is doing the jobs that countries should be doing.

When laws are not enforced, what then. Japan won't even dock in Australia because the Humane Society will have them charged with breaking the law.

9. thank you. they speak and act for those defenseless creatures who are

powerless to protect themselves

[Annces]

12. Thank you too

Sea Shepherd does speak for those who can't speak for themselves. Captain Paul Watson got his start in a small children's program called the Kindness Club in Canada. His mother brought him there.

8. like I said, so you say

why have they offered to be taken to court, tried for their 'vigilantism' (which is taking action against internationally designated ILLEGAL whaling operations), yet been refused?

why do you think that is?

terroristic threats? do you realize who you sound like?

[Gabi Hayes]

3. yes, they are, and Paul Watson is something else, to say the least.

10. see below. they have the RIGHT to do what they're doing

The UN World Charter for Nature authorizes non-governmental organizations and individuals to uphold international conservation law.

I wonder if I'm on a Bush Co. terrorist watch list because of my donations?
