Sea Shepherds have great ideals and do good things but they're so fucking dumb and they're a bunch of fucking assholes.

I lived in Hobart, where they would make port and they'd cause so much trouble in town, bullying ppl, getting in fights etc. They think they're badass but they're idiots.

Sacrificing they're million dollar stealth speedboat the My Ady Gil by parking it in the way of a whaling ship and hoping to take them to court for damages, they forgot the first rule of maritime law; the least maneuverable ship has the right of way. They lost that case.

They tried stopping a legal seal cull in Canada and got their boat, the MV Farley Mowat impounded. They never claimed it back and now face a law suit for abandoning a derelict vessel that's leaking oil everywhere.

They took a video trying to show a Japanese whaling ship ramming them, yet it's clear that the SS ship, The Steve Irwin, is the ones changing course to purposely collide with the whaling ship.

They board other ships in international waters (piracy) and whine and cry when they get detained in a brig and brought back to face a court.

They have wasted soooo much money donated to them by benefactors.

Seriously, it's as though they're all kids playing with boats in a bathtub. Idiots.
