I know the shark fishermen here and they must land the shark with the fins, the shark meat is turned into cat or crab food and the fins are exported. Just because you dont eat the fins it is someone job. If you want to find a cause then do the research. Greenpeace got rid of Watson long ago. What this guy has done for me .....I dont trust any of the save the world groups.

I'm not jumping on anyones bandwagon......just my observation.
It makes me sad to see all those sharks.....dead.
What?...........a guy's not allowed to feel sad?

Fair enough... Do you trust any of the "exploit it till it's gone" groups?

The good that Sea Shepherd does far outweighs the perceived "bad".
Has anyone here seen "Sharkwater"? Sea Shepherd has been partroling
and protecting the Galapagos Islands against poachers for years (at the
request of the Ecuadoran government). As far as Greenpeace goes,
IMHO, they are pretty worthless. They are not in Antartica this year.
Here is an organization that has more money than any other, and what do
they do with it? They advertise, like on this board, to get more money to
do nothing. Captain Watson was one of the founders of Greenpeace, but
left stating that "Greenpeace is the Avon ladies of the environmental movement".

That perceived bad ... I think will become worse as time goes on, and I fear that he will remove any "perceived" notion from the equation
I don't trust any of the extremes , for good or bad

...as much as I disagree with whaling in any form, I have to say that if I were a whale and realized I was being "championed" by such as group of inept sailors as those, I'd consider throwing myself on a harpoon. I find it hard to believe that any master of a vessel would put his charges into the danger I see on that program.
