Hi.

As another quick reply, I would suggest changing this sentence before it
goes live:

"This is the second ship scuttled under the UN banner, the fifth ship
attacked in Norway since 1992 and the dozenth ship sunk by whale
defenders since 1979."

I read this sentence as to mean that it was sunk by a UN ship. I realise
that it is a reference to the naming of the group (Agenda 21) but it
seems to infer UN involvement (why should they take the credit! :-) ).

Maybe a change to:

"This is the second ship scuttled under the banner of Agenda 21, the
fifth ship attacked in Norway since 1992 and the dozenth ship sunk by
whale defenders since 1979."

Would be appropriate?

Should we set a time limit for objections? (eg 24 hours?)

Solidarity,

JimDog*

In an anonymous communique, Agenda 21 reported they flooded the engine room; “to delay the killing season and to protest the continued illegal export of whale meat to Japan.”

The same group sunk ‘The Willassen Senior’ in August 2007 exceeding £2 million pounds in damage, successfully ending the whaling vessel’s career within two months.
