Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is Reckless

I did not realize the tactics that the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society employed when I wrote about their acid attack on a Japanese whaler earlier this evening.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out what's going on here. Their web site is full of news stories of their aggressiveness on the high seas--aggressive even to the point of hazarding both their ships and the Japanese whaling fleet during their confrontations. And hazarding dozens of human lives as well. And they openly admit to ramming whalers in the past to stop them.

I'm no fan of whaling, but for a group to take to causing accidents on the high seas and endangering human lives to disrupt an activity they don't like is more unacceptable than their opponents killing a FISH.

There are much better ways to deal with Japanese violations of international whaling law than engaging in eco-terrorism. The SSCS is no better than Earth First! blowing up buildings, cars and people.
