“Anti-whaling activists hurled containers of rotten butter at a Japanese whaling ship in Antarctic waters Monday, lightly injuring several crewmembers, Japan’s government said. Protesters aboard a boat operated by Sea Shepherd threw the objects — containing butyric acid, produced by rotting butter — at the Nisshin Maru whaling ship, which is conducting Japan’s research whaling program. … Sea Shepherd and other anti-whaling protesters have continually harassed the Japanese whaling fleet in an effort to interfere with Tokyo’s hunting season, during which it takes hundreds of minke whales in the Antarctic. Japan has accused the activists of terrorist tactics, but Sea Shepherd called on Japan to stop its hunt, in a statement issued after the confrontation.” (03/03/08)
