The Fight for the Pilot Whale Written by DAVID BEAN
Narrated by Anthony Smith A year ago, the converted trawler Sea Shepherd left Plymouth for a summer's vigil around the Faroe Islands. On board were members of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society led by Paul Watson. Their objective was to try to stop the Faroese killing of pilot whales - a tradition the islanders have followed for centuries. The conservationists believe that the high standard of living now enjoyed by the Faroese means there is no need for them to kill 2,000 pilot whales a year. Both sides were prepared for confrontation ... but not for what actually happened.
