*BREAKING NEWS*: Japanese whaling fleet harpoon vessel entered 4.7 nautical miles into Australian Whale Sanctuary in pursuit of Sea Shepherd’s long-range ship, The MV Bob Barker before turning around and leaving. The incursion lasted for approximately 30 minutes. Captain of The MV Steve Irwin, Sid Chakravarty, said, “While the Yushin Maru No. 3 is currently outside of Australian waters, the Shonan Maru No. 2 is making a mockery of the New Zealand government’s request to stay out of its EEZ. We urge Minister McCully to uphold New Zealand’s strong stance against the Japanese whaling fleet’s operations and demand that the whaling security vessel leaves New Zealand waters immediately.”
