(OCEANS) According to a press release, Sea Shepherd Australia’s vessel, the SSS Brigitte Bardot, has successfully intercepted the Japanese whaling ship, Tushin Maru No. 3 in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Though it is appalling that the whaling fleet has been detected in Whale Sanctuary to begin with, Operation Zero Tolerance co-campaign leader Bob Brown believes, “It is likely that we have intercepted these whale poachers before a single harpoon has been fired.” Sea Shepherd will continue to do its part in upholding the Australian Federal Court ruling that bans Japanese whaling, while Operation Zero Tolerance co-campaign Leader Jeff Hansen reassures, “We will not tolerate a single whale death inside the established whale sanctuary by these poachers.” Read on to learn more about this great success. — Global Animal
