Whale Wars

I have just found out that Captain Paul Watson has been arrested, on what charges has yet to be made clear, but it seems that the German government plans to extradite him to Costa Rica.

This seems to be in response to the Sea Shepherd uncovering an illegal shark finning operation.  The word here is 'illegal'.  How can an 'illegal', that is to say 'against the law', operation use international law to shut down the people who uncovered the acts that where against the law?  Surely anybody can see that to jail a man who is fighting against the illegal fishing practises of companies and cabals around the world is to support the illegal practises.  And if the governments and legal systems of the world are supporting illegal practises then they are supporting that which is totally opposite to everything that they are supposed - and are voted in for - to embody.  If this is the case then the law is a mockery and government a sham.
