Anti-Whaling Vessel Damaged in Collision with Whaling Ship

HeadlineJan 07, 2010

An anti-whaling vessel has been badly damaged in a collision with a Japanese whaling ship in the Southern Ocean. The Ady Gil lost its entire bow in its run-in with the whaling ship. The Japanese government says the activists sailed too close to the ship and deliberately crossed into its path. But Sea Shepherd, the group behind the boat, said they were deliberately rammed. The group says it will continue to protest whaling ships in the high seas.
