Greenpeace confronts whalers
A Greenpeace ship found the Japanese whaling fleet off Antarctica today, the environmental group said – setting off this year’s round of a cat-and-mouse contest that has become a sometimes dangerous feature of the hunting debate.
Greenpeace’s Esperanza confronted the Japanese whalers in the Antarctic Ocean after a 10-day search, and the hunting ships immediately steamed off with the activists in pursuit, the environmentalists said.
