Great.. terrorists are using drones now...
They will ram other ships putting people's lives at risk. They will work hard to disable and/or sink ships that do not conform to their way of thinking.
That is terrorism.
They have taken extreme measures in the past but they are typically nonviolent.
They do not ram ships with the intention of sinking them, they attempt to disable ships so they cannot keep poaching.
It's not a belief. It's a fact that whales are endangered and are few in numbers. They are also amongst the smartest animals on the planet (we don't hunt and kill apes do we? Why do you think that is)
They aren't using rocket launchers and guns, they are using stink bombs to taint the meat so the Japanese cannot pull profit from illegal hunting practices under the guise of research.
Here is a thought- ever think about what the Japanese have done to these guys? They have purposely turned into the much smaller ship the Ady Gil and split it in half (you can see the much larger Japanese ship change course and ram the scout vessel, the Japanese have pointed an LRAD (a device used to disorient people) at a scout helicopter which could cause it to crash (it's why you can't point green lasers at planes because it disorients the crew)
The Japanese whaling fleet is anything but innocent and while I'm no PETA supporter by any means I do believe Sea Shepard is doing what's morally right and I do believe the Japanese do not have the right to continue whaling. If they want research do what everyone else does. Study them using subs and boats. You don't need to kill them to study them.

They are eco terrorists. If you support their mission and tactics that is fine. You won't convince me they aren't. Ramming a ship to disable it is equivalent to shooting someone to subdue them. You shoot to kill you ram to sink.
The Japanese trying to disable their attackers is not an issue. Sea Shepard should be happy that Japan doesn't take a more militant stance to protect their shipping.
Sea Shepard attacks ships under the guise of ethics and doing the right thing. Regardless of the cause, they put human life at risk during these attacks. That is how I define terrorism.
They aren't ramming to sink. Any time they DID ram a ship it was more or less bumping sides it wasn't a T-bone collision or head on to cause damage or sink. It was a desperation attempt (one I cannot condone as it was dangerous and foolish)
I'm starting to feel that you defend the poachers as I have yet to see you disagree with one thing they do.
You didn't condemn the fact they tried to disable a pilot which could result in a crash into the ocean, you didn't condemn them for RAMMING TO SINK the ady gil, you don't condemn them for poaching
The whalers can do no wrong huh?
I admit sea Shepard isn't perfect and not all their tactics are safe or even advisable but they are not out to hurt people. They are not out for political agenda. In essence they are out protecting animals that no one else seems to care about preserving. But I do believe they are doing what's right. If I went out and killed a whale in international waters I'm a poacher. But if Japan does it its research?
Not buying that not even on double coupon day.
Tell me, how would you stop the illegal hunting of whales by Japan?

Last I will say:
Sea Sheppard rammed ships, you don't "rub" with vessels that size. They did it for an ideology that differs from their own.
Forcing your ideology on others with force is terrorism.
I don't agree with their tactics... the ideology gets lost when they use terrorist tactics.

Great.. terrorists are using drones now...
Then police are terroists as well, because they implement tbe same behsvior when catching criminals.They will ram other ships putting people's lives at risk. They will work hard to disable and/or sink ships that do not conform to their way of thinking.
