Does Sea Shepherd have legal authority to do what they do? Top legal experts hash out this complicated issue from all sides.
Debbie at 12:07pm June 10
On the sea, the law belongs to the captain of the ship, that is why countries have so many problems when it comes to investigating a murder on a ship. Also, why captains can marry people on their ships. I'm sure the legal experts are going to have a hell of a time figuring this one out, but in the meantime, GO SEA SHEPHERD!! Besides, laws were meant to be broken!
