(This is the second scuttling of the century for whale defenders!)

 

Summary:

 

On the evening of April 23rd, the Norwegian whaling ship ‘The Skarbakk’ was sunk by environmentalists in Norway using the name of a failed United Nations pledge that detailed action required for a sustainable 21st century. 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.”

 

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. 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.
