Animal Liberation Front takes credit for the sinking

news

On the night of august 30th we decided to celebrate the end of commercial whaling in Iceland by removing a large section of cooling pipe in the engine room of the norwegian whaler - whale blogger

The salt water intake valve was opened unleashing a torrent of water into the heart of the killer ship that two years earlier took 14 minutes to brutally murder a threatened minke whale. only seven died in this raid. ELF sent word taking credit for this new attack

The sinking of the whaler and the silencing of its deadly harpoon is dedicated to the memory of the yangtze river dolphin who because of humankinds greed will never again grace the waters of our blue planet. The turn of our wrenches is a rational response to a world where tens of thousands of species disappear every year.

This is the fifth Norwegian whaler that has come under attack from ELF for illegal whaling activities since 1992. The others were:
The Nybraena - scuttled dockside in the Lofoten Island in December 1992.
The Senet - Scuttles dockside in Fredricksberg, Norway in January 1994.
The Elin-Toril - Severely damaged in 1997.
The Morild - Sunk in 1998.
The Williassen Senior - Sunk in August 2007
ELF moves to the forefrount in enviromental activisom
