The antiwhaling group Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has apparently
abandoned reported efforts to salvage or tow to port the disabled New Zealand
watercraft Ady Gil. Japans research vessels monitoring the area have confirmed that
an oily substance thought to be fuel is leaking from the Ady Gil and continues to
spread over the sea surface, raising concerns that Sea Shepherd is willfully polluting
the Antarctic environment.




The Shonan Maru No. 2 reported that the other antiwhaling ship which had been
harassing the Japanese vessel with the New Zealand watercraft, the Bob Barker,
initially seemed to be making efforts to tow the Ady Gil. However, the Bob Barker
has left the scene abandoning the drifting Ady Gil by the early morning of December 8.

In addition, the Shonan Maru No. 2 retrieved today from the sea part of the severed
Ady Gil hull as well as various drifting objects including several bowgun arrows.
Bowgun arrows are weapons with the ability to produce casualties if used against a
person or persons. The Sea Shepherd activists have been escalating the viciousness of
their sabotage including hurling projectiles containing hazardous butyric acid and
firing line-launch rockets against Japans research vessels. However, their carrying and
possession onboard of a lethal-force weapon makes one ponder whether they would
hesitate or not to produce casualties.




The Institute of Cetacean Research strongly condemns the Sea Shepherd
Conservation Society actions.

The Institute of Cetacean Research urges again all related nations including
Australia, the de facto home port country to the Steve Irwin, the Netherlands, the Steve
Irwins flag state, and New Zealand, the now drifting and abandoned Ady Gil flag state,
to take every means available to prevent the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
actions and strongly request that they observe their international obligations and deal
with the Sea Shepherd in a strict and objective manner.

  • Thank you Sea Sheppherd for doing what we dream to do: Teach the human beast how to be civilized. I will be hard but this planet has to be a peacefull kingdom. Those fascinated by blood and cruelty are medically sick.

  • Sea Shepard polluting the ocean.
