PS, you would be shocked at who has given these clowns money.
No, not really. They name thier boats after the big donors
Steve Irwin, through his widow Teri
Bob Barker, "The Price is wrong b!t{h."
Farley Mowat, Canadian author "Never Cry Wolf"
Then there is the rest of the "usual suspects:"
"Sea Shepherd has also worked closely with and received donations from celebrities.[5] Martin Sheen, Darryl Hannah, and Richard Dean Anderson have joined the group during protests. Actors including Edward Norton, Pierce Brosnan, Christian Bale, and Emily Deschanel have supported the group through contributions.[33] In 2007, actor Heath Ledger conceived and directed a music video of a yet-to-be-released Modest Mouse song, 'King Rat,' intended to raise awareness of the whale hunts taking place each year off the coast of his native Australia. Although Ledger died before the video could be completed, others finished it in his honour and debuted the video online in August 2009. Proceeds from iTunes sales of the video in its first month of release were donated to Sea Shepherd.[35][36]
From the music industry, Mick Jagger, Anthony Kiedis, Leona Lewis, Rick Rubin, and the group The Red Paintings have financially supported Sea Shepherd.[6] Both the musical groups Ignite[37] and Propagandhi[38] have raised funds through promotional online sales. In 2009, professional surfer Kelly Slater joined a Quicksilver Australia/Sea Shepherd partnership featuring a fundraising clothing line, including board shorts designed by Slater.[39]
The Lush cosmetics company joined with Sea Shepherd to raise awareness about the practice of shark finning in 2008. Lush produced 'Shark Fin Soap' (a word play on 'shark fin soup'); all sale proceeds were directed to Sea Shepherd.[40] To launch the soap and awareness campaign a performance artist suspended herself, using hooks in her flesh, in a Lush shopfront window in London.[41]"
