Latin American governments are considering a bloc response to the Japanese whaling fleet's departure for Antarctica, in a new season of what it claims is "hunting for scientific purposes" and which threatens to kill 1,000 whales in the protected Southern Ocean sanctuary.

Silent Auction and Raffles will feature on the night.
Details: The evening will be entertaining and provide information on Sea Shepherd's forthcoming Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign. The MC for the evening will be the Hon. Ian Campbell who is a member of the Sea Shepherd Advisory Board. Special gu...ests include Brad Pettit, the new Mayor of Fremantle, Senator Rachel Siewart, Greens Spokesperson for Whaling, along with current Sea Shepherd crew.
The primary purpose of this event is to raise much needed funds for Operation Waltzing Matilda - Sea Shepherd's 6th Whale Defense Campaign which is being launched from Fremantle on Monday 7th December. This year, Sea Shepherd’s flagship Steve Irwin, will be accompanied to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary by the Ady Gil. The Ady Gil is a futuristic trimaran which recently set the world powerboat record for circumnavigation. Due to its speed capabilities (up to 50 knots) Captain Paul Watson (Sea Shepherd President and Founder) intends to use the Ady Gil to intercept and physically block the harpoon ships from illegally slaughtering whales.
The Japanese whaling fleet will be targeting 935 Piked (Minke) whales and another 50 endangered Fin whales, and has threatened to add Humpback Whales to their quota as well. Sea Shepherd will once again attempt to block the whaling fleet's efforts to kill these innocent animals and in doing so negate their illicit profits from the so called lethal research.
Entry: $20 per person - tickets available at the door
Time: 8pm Wednesday 2nd December. Doors open at 6.45pm Read More
