[Advocacy For Animals] Hunting the Whalers: As the Japanese ships scattered, two crew members from the Steve Irwin used ropes to hoist themselves from a speedboat onto the deck of one of the vessels, the Yishun Maru 2, in order to deliver a letter to its captain, informing him that he was in violation of international conservation law and demanding that he cease his participation in the whale hunt. The two crew members, an Australian and a Briton, were immediately restrained by the Japanese and were prevented from returning to the Steve Irwin, though the letter they were carrying disavowed any intention to commit violence or sabotage and requested that they be allowed to return to their ship “without harm or seizure.” With the protesters still aboard, the Yishun Maru 2 fled south, presumably to regroup with the other harpoon vessels.
