My father-in-law told me yesterday that some of the anti-sealers were ramming ice packs that the sealers were on with their boats, trying to break them up. This, of course, put the sealers at risk of drowning. In light of this, I'm not quite as concerned about the Coast Guard vessel bumping up against the anti-sealers' boat as I might otherwise be. He said that the anti-sealers work very hard to try to provoke the sealers into a confrontation so they can film it. The purpose being to try to show the sealers as being violent and ruthless.
