I've been thinking about how futilely the crew of the Sea Shepherd and their ilk oppose Japanese whalers and other such things lately, and it suddenly came to me; what if conservationists actively used methods of sabotage and terror (by which I mean more than just stink bombs or ramming) to get their message across? I'm thinking rogue Sea Shepherd-type ships firebombing or otherwise directly assaulting whalers and fishing ships, other groups bombing animal testing laboratories and factory farms...you know, basically, the animal rights movement going much more violent. How could we get this to happen?

(Note that I don't support ecoterrorism; I just think this is an interesting idea)
