As is the norm with liberal double standards, all you have to do is follow the money. these guys are D-I-R-T-Y. From activistcash.com:
Where does Watson get the funds for his exploits? In part, from an eclectic cadre of shadowy personalities.
That includes Susan Bloom, a long-time donor to the most extreme factions of the environmental and animal-rights movement. Bloom was the founder and main financier of the British Columbia animal-rights group Bear Watch, which employed David Barbarash, a former spokesman for the terrorist Animal Liberation Front (ALF). Paul Watson has hosted at least one Bear Watch fundraiser.
Ann Johnston gave SSCS almost $2.7 million in stock in 1997. Her husband, Pritam Singh (aka Paul LaBombard, his real name), is a real estate developer and a member of SSCS financial and management advisory board. According to the Key News Journal, hes under investigation by the FBI for his questionable business dealings. One Key West attorney has also filed a civil lawsuit against Singh, alleging almost 20 years of criminal activity -- including racketeering and fraud. Singh was fined $1.2 million by the federal Office of Thrift Supervision in 1995. And he quietly settled a lawsuit filed by members of his sales staff who said he illegally withheld their commissions.
Johnstons 1997 stock donation included shares of a company named Northern Development Associates, a for-profit business which is now 100-percent owned by Sea Shepherd.
Corporate records show that the companys officers include Watsons ex-wife Lisa DiStefano and longtime associate Michael Kundu. Northern Developments mailing address is the same as Pritam Singhs Key West Golf Club. Watson and DiStefano also serve, with Singh, on the board of something called the Sea Trek 2000 Foundation. The mailing address for that group is the same as one of Singhs Miami lawyers.
Ann Johnston is my cousin.

Nice 'families' you got there! /s
I have cousins like that too. Fortunately, we haven't seen each other since I was a kid.
