Who are the Sea Shepherds?

To me the Sea Shepherds are a group of wonderful people out to save the lives of animals.  They face off against the Japanese Gov. and live to tell the tell.  They put their own life on the line to save whales and all animals.  With out the help of people like you they can not continue this battle. 

Sea Shepherd's Mission Statement

Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Our mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species.

Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately-balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations.
