I’ve actually watched the show - The captain of the Sea Shepard is a pirate by my estimate. He is also pretty much an Eco Idiot! Their “campaigns” have been pretty much useless, and this year they got completely stumped by the Japanese fleet’s defensive maneuverer of hanging tall netting around their ships. The Sheppard’s typical attack method was to throw bueteric acid (sp?) onto the working areas of the Japanese processing ship. Their bottles can get there anymore with the netting. Further, they were ordered by the Danes who register the Steve Irwin to not throw things from the ship anymore. Of course they eventually violated the Danish order.

These guys are idiotic pirates.

I love their show. It's a wonder they even survive these missions as they are typical idiot liberals with no common sense. Having said that, I respect what they do. The Japanese are exploiting a loophole to kill whales for a delicacy. So unnecessary. Killing Rhinos (the actual animals) for their horns is disgusting as well. Sometimes, liberals actually make a point.

I saw most of one episode once. I was channel surfing and start to watch. I was shocked when it became clear that the show was from the point of view of the pirates. They were attempting to disrupt the whaling ship by essentially playing chicken with it. Eventually they clipped the ship and ended up under investigation.

What I was shocked at was that some network would financially support them by paying for filming access. Hopefully the network will be sued one of these days for their part in the funding....I guess along with Bob Barker since he's given money to supply the pirates.
