A Japanese Whaler gave a Greenpeace activist an unwanted swim in Antarctic waters the other day:
Japan Times Online—Greenpeace Australia chief executive Steve Shallhorn said a harpoon came within a meter of a small inflatable launch.
As it hit a whale and the animal submerged, the harpoon’s rope snagged the Greenpeace boat, tossing Canadian activist Texas Joe Constantine into the water for a short time before he scrambled back aboard, Shallhorn said.
“He may have swallowed some sea water and whale blubber, but he is all right,” he said. …
I’m no fan of Greenpeace but I have to agree with them on hunting whales; there’s no need to be harpooning these wonderful creatures in the 21st century.
