Sea Shepherd Saves Whale Pod from Whalers
The Sea Shepherd vessels Robert Hunter and Farley Mowat caught the Japanese whaling vessel Kaiko Maru this morning bearing down on a pod of whales. The conservation vessels moved in and chased the whaler into the ice. At one point during the confrontation, the Kaiko Maru turned to starboard and struck the Robert Hunter.
The Sea Shepherd activists are demanding that the whaler leave the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary and cease and desist from illegally killing whales.
