Via Captain Paul Watson: Sea Shepherd is Free to Return to the Faroe Islands in 2015 After Sea Shepherd successful campaign to protect pilot whales in dolphins this past summer, Faroese politicians decided to take the drastic move to stop continued Sea Shepherd intervention by simply banning Sea Shepherd volunteers from the islands. This move certainly illustrated that many Faroese politicians acknowledged the effectiveness of Sea Shepherd campaigning. The problem for the Faroese however is how do you ban Sea Shepherd volunteers who happen to be members of the European Union. Banning members of the European Union could cause a retaliation of banning Faroese citizens from Europe. In order to pass such a law it would have required Danish approval and Denmark was not about to head down the road of censorship and discrimination. Anyhow it appears that the attempt to legally ban Sea Shepherd from the Faroe Islands has failed and there is no legal impediment to stopping Sea Shepherd volunteers from returning to the Faroe Islands to protect pilot whales and dolphins in 2015
