I always knew the wackos at Greenpeace had some boats that they used to harass whalers and fishermen, but apparently there is a splinter group that thinks mere harassment is not enough.

They call themselves the Sea Shepherds, and refer to themselves as “Eco-Pirates.” They are committed to stopping whaling by any means necessary. Since 1979, they have rammed and sunk 9 ships.

A few months ago, they made headlines by “chasing a Japanese whaling vessel around the Southern Ocean, pelting the crew with glass bottles full of rancid butter.” Nice.
