The Sea Shepherds, an activist group which aims to disrupt yearly whaling by the Japanese, have been deemed "pirates" by a US court, overturning a previous ruling that threw out a lawsuit from the Japanese and throwing the ruling judge off the case, citing a possible bias in the activists favor.
The Sea Shepherds have been accused of aggressive and dangerous tactics while the Japanese are accused of using a scientific loophole in whaling laws to allow fishing of the marine mammals. Both parties have constantly claimed to have the law on their side.
