Indeed. One of their vessels collided with a Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker a few years back during the seal hunt; they've been whining ever since that the coast guard rammed them on purpose, and that the continued detention of their boat is a... I don't know, but it's EVIL.

I really, really don't know all the dirty detail, but from a video I've seen, the coast guard just tried to get between them and a fishing vessel. The Sea Shepperd boat didn't turn quick enough.

A friend actually sent me the application page to work on one of their boats... (As a joke, since it doesn't actually pay.) It was the least professional recruitment page I've ever seen. "No whiners!", I quote.
