the Sea Shepperd Conservation Society Terrorists

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Shepherd)

-They have admittedly (and proudly) destroyed whaling vessels of other nations.

-They have rammed fishing ships and whaling ships with their own vessels to destroy equipment.

-They have thrown glass bottles of butyric acid at the crews of whaling vessels from their ship.

The Sea Shepperd Conservation Society has used violent and destructive means, as a way to stop activities to which they object, threatening the livelihood and possibly the lives of the people who perform said activities

They are terrorists, and violent criminals.

High time. In another time, these marauders would have been hanged as pirates. Running under the false colors of nobility doesn’t change the reality.

Paul Watson of the international group Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which owns the vessel, said its seizure and the arrests amount to an "act of war" because the ship is registered in the Netherlands and was in international waters.

How ships are treated should depend less on where they are registered and more on what flag they fly at sea.

PIRATES! Hang them from the yardarm.

Just use a culturally appropriate organic, natural hemp rope.

It would have been preferable to sink them and treat any survivors as pirates but at least the Canadian Coast Guard did do something though the captain and first officer will probably walk.
