While I didn't condone many of the SS's tactics, I was against the whaling completely. Let's hope it remains good news.

Victory in the Southern Ocean Day for the Whales
"It's official – the killing of whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary is over for this season and the whalers did not even take 10% of their quota. Sea Shepherd estimates that over 900 whales have been saved this year."

This is great news! Congratulations to all parties involved.
What a great day for whales!
