An article from the Telegraph ...
Since forming Sea Shepherd in 1981, Watson, a former
Canadian coast guard, has commanded more than 200 voyages aimed at
stopping Antarctic and Arctic whaling, illegal long-line fishing in the
Pacific, the killing of seals in Canada and, more recently, poaching
and shark-finning in Galapagos.
Sea Shepherd
has, in his words, "boarded and rammed more ships, engaged in more high
seas confrontations and sunk more ships than the Canadian navy".
Watson
and his mostly volunteer crews brave storms and ice-packs, hostile
governments and illegal fishing vessels. He has rammed seven ships and
scuttled another eight, and come under fire several times. But he has
never been convicted of any crime.
Sea Shepherd
is careful to act in accordance with the UN Charter for Nature, which
allows for the enforcement of international law "by nations,
non-governmental organisations and individuals". Watson is clear that
everything he does is sanctioned under international maritime law.
It's so sweet in it's praise that it's almost sickening...

Three of our authors, Dinosaur, Wonder Woman and yours truly are in the number 3 spot of Warren (he who takes his camera into the "boys" room) Kinsella's list of Top Ten Jerks . I'm sure that in Warren's mind he thinks he's shaming us but in reality, if he thinks ill of you, you're doing something right.
Cheers!
