The crew of the Steve Irwin

For anyone who is feeling discouraged, a look at these blessed volunteers should fill you with hope. I don't see the writer's name on the article. It sounds like the Captain, Paul Watson.

Meet the Save the Whale "Terrorists"

The Japanese whalers are a cowardly bunch.
When it comes to shooting defenseless whales in the back, they thump their chests like big brave men. They strut around with their lethal lances and pose in front of their big harpoon cannons like preening peacocks bragging about their macho credentials.

But when we show up to defend the whales, they run like frightened little schoolgirls and call their government to send down some real men to defend them from us.

For ten days we have been chasing these craven killers across the Southern Oceans. Just like last year, and the year before that, they run and keep running.

This is a good thing of course because when they are running, they are not whaling. Ten days of not whaling when they average ten whales a day is one hundred whales at least saved so far.
