Back when we were still in Manly, Mike checked out events for the day and saw that Sea Shepherd was docked in Sydney Harbour. We rode the ferry into the city and queued up for a tour. It turned out to be quite a long wait complete with a bit of a skirmish. Why do people try to cut in line?
The tour itself was about 30 minutes. We were walked through various parts of the ship and even got to smell the yucky vomit stench from their butryic acid capsules. The end of the tour included a video about Sea Shepherd’s current campaign to protect the Kimberley Whales.
While I’m all for protecting whales, I can’t quite decide where I stand on Sea Shepherd. Their tactics have been highly criticized and some categorize the group as eco-terrorists.
One thing is for sure, they are very passionate about their cause.
xo, jill
Another jealousy moment – last time they had an open day I missed it due to work. oh well maybe one day…
