In the recent controversies over seal hunting another issue emerged. Eco-conservation and nature-loving motivations sometimes make people use violence to defend nature. Violence as a chosen method of protest, not as a result of occasional outburst of emotions.Paul Watson, an eco-activist (for some, eco-fanatic) from US uses violence and organized attempts to disable or even sink whaler and sealer ships to save the seals and the whales. Interesting debate emerged:
Is Paul Watson a Terrorist or an Eco-Saint?
Paradox: Watson Keeps Seal Hunt Alive with His Protests
