[IMC-UK-Features] Feature proposal: Canadian Coast Guard Storms Conservation Vessel for Documenting Seal Hunt

[guidoreports at riseup.net]

Just to let you know that the lunchtime BBC news have just reported that
the Japanese have abandoned their whale hunt due to missing their quota.
They are also admitting that this is due to harrassment by Greenpeace and
Sea Shepherd. Result!

I would be very surprised if this does not hit the newswire later today.
