* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fjIbUwuKwU&t One episode]] has the ''Sea Shepherd'' attempting to flood the engine of the whaling ship by aiming their water cannon at the exhaust pipe... then stop after about two seconds. Never mind that all this did was essentially [[EpicFail clean it]], to flood the engine you would have to aim for the ''intake''.
** Ships the size of the one they were aiming at have engines the size of small houses. The tiny amount of water they may have gotten in would have done nothing.

Not only did thos out-of-shape and elderly man react to this "gun shot" with DullSurprise (getting shot with a vest on is comparable to getting hit in the chest with a sledgehammer), their own videos show that his coat didn't even have a hole in it.

* {{Hypocrite}}: The Shepherds do incredibly unsafe boating maneuvers like crossing bows, sailing very close, and throwing ropes in the path of ships to try and foul the propellers (made even less safe because of the lack of actual sailing experience). Then they complain that it's unsafe and aggressive when the whaling ships (and in one case a Canadian Coast Guard ice cutter) do the same to them

Ever wonder what would happen if a RealLife AnimalWrongsGroup got their own show? Well, that's pretty much what ''Whale Wars'' is about. The show, which aired on Creator/AnimalPlanet from from 2008-2015, follows Sea Shepherd Conservation Society as they try to stop Japanese whaling ships from hunting whales. They do this by chasing the ships, and then disabling or throwing rotten butter at them; note that in this case, "disabling" means attempting to sink or scuttle the ships, in the middle of the Antarctic ocean, which could certainly result in casualties. Because of this, the show is highly controversial.

If the whalers defend themselves, or if the Sea Shepherd crews ''hurt themselves'' in the process, they whine about the evil ol' whalers.
