Hello everyone, it’s Paula here again

I have great news - after ten days of harassment, the Japanese are finally so frustrated that they have apparently given up the hunt! I’m struggling to believe that Green peace, Sea Shepherd and others who have been so bold as to board one ship ‘to deliver a letter’, throw stink bombs on to the deck to prevent work for days, gone to court and tried to prevent ships from refueling and just trailing and interfering with the hunting. Richard Leakey spoke about the ethics of whale hunting in his blog earlier.

“Greenpeace said its vessel Esperanza had driven the Japanese processing ship Nisshin Maru out of the hunting grounds after a high-speed chase over hundreds of miles.

Without the factory boat, Japanese harpoon boats have ceased activities, as they have no way of processing their catch”.

Sea Shepherd claim that no whales have died to date. There are some amazing photographs and more stories about this great news here and here

I’m so excited I’m going to break my new years diet and have a burger for lunch!
