When I catch someone lying it takes a long time to gain back my trust.

Sea Shepherd lost my trust years ago when it lied about the cause of John Efford's retirement.

So now, when a Japanese boat claims one thing and Sea Shepherd claims another, I tend to think the truth is not coming from Sea Shepherd.

They've demonstrated to me they will lie if they think it suits their political or fund raising goals.
