Sea Shepherd Now has Former US Navy Lieutenant Onboard
We’ve covered Sea Shepherd and their new television show “Whale Wars” quite a bit the past couple months, and while we love the organization and the show, we must admit that we cringe every time they make a disastrous mistake on the TV show. But things are looking brighter for the next season, being filmed currently: Sea Shepherd has brought along a former US Navy Lieutenant, Jane Taylor.
Taylor was also recently honored by PETA for being the sexiest vegetarian in the US Navy along with other sexy vegetarians in other branches of the military. While Sea Shepherd seems to try to keep an organized ship, I bet it’ll seem like more of a cruise ship compared to her former adventures at sea.
To all those who comment on this blog and others asserting that Sea Shepherd is a terrorist group, do you now think that this decorated Naval officer is a terrorist?

These people are NOT terrorists. IF you think they are, then you can just call Greenpeace “terrorists” too. The methods are different, but if your going to use the word “terrorists” so freely, then the premise is the same. A group acting against another group…..that seems to be the “New” definition of terrorism?
A terrorist is someone who rigs himself full of explosives and runs onto a crowded bus. Killing lots of innocent people. No military target, no government target, just women…CHILDREN..and men. A terrorists flies hijacked planes into office buildings. Killing innocents for a political or religious point.
So please just stop throwing that label around.
To “Not you”–The whalers did not “lose” 70 million. They just “didnot make” 70 million. And just how many millions are they supposed to make doing RESEARCH?
To any one that defends people that murder all the creatures Captain Paul Watson and Sea Shepherds defends is WHACKED in the head and by saying the things you say here show just how simple minded you are. The mentality you show is prideful and sick. You whale murdering defenders should call a spade a spade. Where is this so called RESEARCH info you’s clamed to be doing. And even if you where doing research, How many other animals do you kill 1,000s of each year for over 30 years to learn about. I would think you would come up with another BULL SHIT story for simply feeding your self’s. And what ever culture clams to have the right to “kill” is a culture that needs to wise up and get with the times. At least come up with another BULL SHIT story dumb asses. I think captain Paul Watson and the sea shepherds are all hero’s and i cant find any one that thinks deferent here in the us and most of the world. GOD help you mother f ers the day I get aboard with SSCS. GOD help you any ways but I don’t think he will. I will put you where you’s all belong, HELL!! And i won’t loose one minuet of sleep
want some? COME AND GET IT!
Wow… Ignorance is running rampant! Scientists are the egotistical idiots that think it’s fine for them to torture and mutilate animals so that they can “learn” something about them. If they were really doing research then there would be a lot more observation and less murder. Paul Watson and his crew are doing an amazing job, that is far from terrorim; in fact, I would argue that they are being too nice. Thank goodness someone got off their ass and stopped writing stupid letters that contribute to deforestation, even though they will never be read. Direct action is a necessity, pacivism has gotten us nowhere. If people want to talk about terrorism they need to do some research into what their government has done in the past and present and how many people (PEOPLE!!! not animals) have been killed in their quest for money and power. Anyone that thinks they are better than or above animals should try living in a world with out any!! Seriously, people need to wake up!
What they are doing may not be piracy or terrorism by the difinition of the words. What they are doign is illegal according to maritime law. They should be charged and prosecuted accordingly.
I personally served with Jane Taylor in the Navy. I can speak from experience that she did an excellent job and left her last ship under positive circumstances. She is dedicated to her principals not only maintaining her vegetarianism while at sea (not an easy task) but also converting several of her peers.
Simply completing a degree from the Naval Academy is a difficult accomplishment. I will give her the benefit of doubt that she will have only a positive influence on the operations of the Sea Shepherd.
Jane, if you’re reading this tripe, you know better. I don’t have your email, but if you (unfortunately) have been reading this crap get ahold of me… you have my contact info!

Wow, what the hell is wrong with people. So a group of willing heroes (in my book) go out to sea in sub zero temperatures for months at a time to do what they feel is right and ass rags that sit on a coach feel compelled to call them terrorists and say the Sea Shephard is more like a cruise ship? So we let illegal whaling continue and do nothing more than bust on the people that actually get out there and risk their lives for a noble cause. Jane Taylor is a personal friend that served her time honorably in the Navy. Who ever feels like disrespecting a person that gave almost a decade of her life to serve our country should get out from behind their computer and protest the next Veterans Day in front of the White House. I will make sure I am there to see the aftermath…
These idiots are terrorists and you dont jail terrorists, you shoot them. That fat coward Paul Watson, sews some patches on his halloween outfit and thinks that makes him a captain, he is no different than all terrorist leaders, he brain washes a group of misfits in to doing his bidding, while he hides in his cabin, he sends women into battle and cowers in the wheel house. If Steve Irwin were alive he would never let his name be used by a terrorist group.
People need to stop funding these terrorists
Get a job losers!
Benedict Arnold won the Battle of Saratoga. That didn’t make him any less a traitor. Jane Taylor is a criminal, and should be tried accordingly.
It would be a pleasant irony if one of her former ships sank these pirates.
The japanese whaling ships are wrong.
The Sea Shephard is likewise wrong… engaged in dangerous / unsafe activities on the high seas bordering on eco-terrorism…
Its only a matter of time before someone gets killed in this sensational exercise - ill contrived to generate publicity for a good cause - gone wrong.
