Watson said, “We will stop the vicious,
cruel
killing machine, the
Nisshin Maru, and the other
boats which are armed with explosive harpoons.
We know
that if people kill the whales, the
sharks, the seals and the sea turtles, they will
destroy the very foundation of life in the oceans”.
Both Sea Shepherd
and Greenpeace know they
will meet in the Antarctic again and again. But
meanwhile, there have been no whales killed in
the Southern Ocean in the past six days.
