The War of the Cetaceans


In an unprecedented format, the Sea Shepards have made their way to prime time on animal planet.  See Whale Wars and view Captain Paul Watson getting shot by a Japanese whaling vessel's crew.  Luckily he was wearing a bullet proof vest.

The Surfrider Oahu Chapter awarded a John Kelley award to the professional surfer David Rastovich for his work in protecting dolphins in Japan.  He and several other activists gathered and performed a memorial service for thousands of dolphins slaughtered there.  
Although most of us believe that international whaling moratoriums are in place, several nations continue to hunt the oceans closest relatives to us.  We must all stand united to end the needless killing of our surfing mentors.
