- Description
The whaling protest ship, the 'Sea Shepherd' has chased a Japanese whaling ship away and a pod of whales shouts 'hooray' but below another pod of whales have beached themselves and a seagull considers this a strange way to show their appreciation. Context - Japan has blamed continued harassment by the Sea Shepherd for its decision to halt this year's whale hunt in the Southern Ocean early. Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson says the protesters won't stop until Japan stops hunting whales for good. He says the whaling fleet is heading home after taking less than a tenth of its quota this season, which means 900 whales have been saved. Activists who have led the fight against Japan's whaling operations in the Southern Ocean say reports of the annual whale hunt being suspended are a bluff. Also the Department of Conservation said it had to put down 48 pilot whales after a pod of 107 stranded themselves at Mason Bay on Stewart Island. (Radio NZ 20 February 2011)
