The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has severed its ties with Pete Bethune after learning he brought bow and arrows along with him on a mission.
A letter written by Sea Shepherd deputy chief executive Chuck Swift on the organization’s website explains the decision to part with Bethune.
“The bow and arrows revealed to be on the Sea Shepherd vessel Ady Gil, and in the possession of Captain Bethune on that ship, are absolutely not in line with Sea Shepherd’s policy.”
“Even though we know Captain Bethune’s objectives were sincere, that the bow and arrows were never used in Sea Shepherd actions and that he certainly never intended to use the bow and arrows against any person, his decision to bring them on a Sea Shepherd campaign is unacceptable.”
