The article goes on to describe how cruel whale-killing is as a set-up to justify vigilantism. I personally have no sympathy for whale-killing and find it to be unnecessary. I think as fellow mammals, we should give them deference in the seas.
That being said, opposition to whaling should be done legally. This is akin to being opposed to cattle ranching and launching attacks upon the people herding them or perhaps being opposed to deer hunting and doing similar things.

You say Sea Shepherds actions are analogous to someone opposing cattle ranching attacking thr ranchers. I don’t buy the analogy.
Does Watson have the right to get on his loudspeaker and state :
“Japanese whalers, you are whaling in an internationally recognized whale sanctuary. Cease and desist.”
You break the law, you get sued or arrested. Neither have apparently happened to Watson.
Is there really no difference between African elephants and whales and common farm animals? Many on this don’t think there is.
