Absurd to include Sea Shepherd in a list of terrorist organizations. We have never injured anyone in 42 years of operations, and work WITH governments and law enforcement in a dozen countries around the world. But obviously not in the UK...

⚓Today Sea Shepherd celebrates the 71st birthday of our founder, Captain Paul Watson!🥳 Even on his birthday, Paul never wavers from his life's mission to defend, conserve, and protect the ocean and marine wildlife:
Did you know that sharks have been around longer than trees? 🦈 And yet, in just a few decades, both legal and illegal overfishing has devastated their numbers, leaving only about 10% of sharks and other large open-ocean fish. 💔 Do you still believe in sustainable fishing?
On September 12th a gruesome record was set in the Faroe Islands when 1428 Atlantic white-sided dolphins were slaughtered in the name of "tradition". Join the fight to end this senseless killing:
#StopTheGrind
Many people don't understand the sheer immensity of the industrial fishing nets. 😱 There are many destructive and unsustainable commercial fishing methods emptying the ocean of marine wildlife...just to put fish on our plate. What can YOU do about it?🤔
Simple: stop eating fish.
One year ago 1428 dolphins were killed in the Faroe Islands, the largest slaughter of cetaceans in recorded history. Sea Shepherd has created World Dolphin Day, as a reminder that cetaceans around the world need more protection.🐬

As a direct-action marine conservation organization, Sea Shepherd also believes in "doing not talking"! We're proud to be one of the 80 NGO partners on the new Waterbear Network. ✊

Industrial fishing is a greater contributor to emissions than all air travel combined. And an estimate 15%-40% of that is conducted illegally.

To be clear, this is not an "annual event"; the hunts happen all year long, anytime pilot whales or dolphins are spotted. There is no season, and there are no limits to how many can be killed. Even juveniles and pregnant females can be slaughtered.
Killing pilot whales is a cruel, unnecessary and ultimately unsustainable practice in the modern-day
