$25,000 reward offered for Japan whalers' location

1 hour, 34 minutes ago

SYDNEY (Reuters) - An anti-whaling group patrolling the Ross Sea off Antarctica
has offered a $25,000 reward to any person or group that can provide coordinates
of the Japanese whaling fleet operating in the area.

The U.S.-based Sea Shepherd Conservation Society announced the reward in the
midst of its "Operation Leviathan" mission to disrupt Japanese whaling in the
Southern Ocean.

"We're here to stop them from killing whales and we will do all we can without
risking human lives to do that," said Captain Alex Cornelissen from the ship
Robert Hunter, one of two Sea Shepherd ships involved in the anti-whaling
campaign.

"We're waiting for more information about the coordinates of the Japanese fleet to
track them down, and hope the reward will help deliver that news soon," Cornelissen
told Reuters on Monday via satellite telephone from his ship.
