As evidence for the prosecution I present this. See the comments from “IceClass”.

“IceClass” would like to give Sea Shepherd leader Paul Watson a bit of a kicking, it seems. Now I’m not going to defend Captain Watson, whose intemperate actions I regard as largely unjustified. But at least the robust and active environmentalist whose number one fan is the Dalai Lama is not waving his dick around and bragging about the contents of his porch freezer.

I wonder how long it will take for above statement to be turned through blogospheric whispers into “Sea Shepherd supporter Francis Sedgemore calls for violence against whalers and sealers.” There, I’ve made a start. Ain’t blogging fun, eh?

And needless to say I’m not particularly impressed with Terry Glavin’s blog post or the way in which he responded to my challenge. With hindsight maybe I should have simply ignored the bluster and left it to Terry’s pro-sealing fans to go “Seal meat, yum yum!”.

My views on the rights or wrongs of seal hunting are not settled, despite Terry’s slanderous remarks. My mistake was to hold back from saying what I really think about the way in which the argument for the Canadian hunt is being put forward, both in Terry’s blog and elsewhere.
