Sea Shepherd Actions Suspend Japanese Whaling
Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, February 16th, 2011 in Animal Issues.
Japan has suspended whaling in the Antarctic until further notice due to the extensive actions performed by anti-whaling activists, Sea Shepherd.
Sea Shepherd sails the seas where whalers hunt and uses tactics such as throwing rancid butter on the whaling ships in an attempt to slow down and stop whaling. These protests are the basis for the popular Animal Planet show, Whale Wars.
The hunt was halted on February 10th, but this isn’t the first year Sea Shepherd has thwarted the performance of whalers.
