The Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin arrived in Port Hercule in Monaco on July 20th for a three day visit before proceeding on to Barcelona, the final stop in the Mediterranean campaign before the ship returns to Australia for final preparations for Operation No Compromise our return to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to defend the whales from illegal Japanese whaling operations.
The last time a Sea Shepherd ship visited Monaco was in 1997 when the Sea Shepherd III was a guest of Prince Rainer on the occasion that Monaco hosted the 1997 International Whaling Commission meeting. Monaco has been a very strong base of support for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society for over 12 years.
Im picturing a couple of hippies sitting down at a blackjack table next to an Arab sheik and a Russian oil billionaire. Things would probably start going south when they order a couple of veggie burgers and light beers. I would recommend not trying to hit up anyone at the table for a donation.
The world is a vampire
In a beautiful picture of irony I watched their interview with Larry King while eating in a Japanese restaurant. My wife who does not know that the whaling fleet is from Japan could not figure out why I was snickering to myself.
I watched about 5 minutes of this series before I turned it off. I hope these tree huggers get everything that’s coming to them.
I called it the Failed Pirate Show.
