Sea Shepherd Launches Iceland Whale Defense Campaign Operation Ragnarök 2007


Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is launching its campaign to go after Iceland’s ILLEGAL commercial whaling operations. The society will send its ship Farley Mowat to Iceland to intervene and disrupt their illegal whaling activities and focus the world's attention on Iceland's planned illegal killing of 60 piked (Minke) and 9 endangered fin whales.

After a 20 year absence, Iceland has returned to commercial whaling -- in flagrant violation of the International Whaling Commission's moratorium on the commercial slaughter of whales. They also intend to export the butchered whale
meat to other countries in direct violation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

Sea Shepherd is calling this mission Operation Ragnarök after an old Nordic word that means "doom of the powers" or "destruction of the powers."

The Farley Mowat is scheduled to depart from Australia 15 May 13:00 hours.

3. He did an outstanding job dogging the Japanese

And he has addressed the little known murder of thousands of dolphins by a few greedy and blood thirsty fishermen.

I am glad the Sea Shepherd organization is out there. I wish him luck and am heartened by the good Captain and his crew's efforts, compassion and guts.

5. Yes, he gave it to them, but good

He knows these fisherman. He grew up among them. And he is glad to get under their skin. That means he is doing his job well.

7. Rammingspeed, Captain Watson.

The Farley Mowat is a good boat, but I think that the Robert Hunter would've been a good choice to send as well. She has all those...toys.
