Dear Friend of Sea Shepherd,
Operation Zero Tolerance objective:
intercept and intervene against the intent of the Japanese whaling
fleet to murder 1,035 whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. So
far this campaign is on target. The Japanese whaling fleet remains in
the Inland Sea of Japan and still has not left. This is the latest they
have ever left and we do not expect them in the Southern Ocean until
early January. The whalers are well aware that we can intercept them
prior to their arrival in the Southern Ocean.
There is absolutely no chance that a
whale will be slain in December. Now we need to focus on making January
a whaling-free month. This is our most expensive and daring campaign of
the year! Please stand with Sea Shepherd and make a donation to support our efforts in the Southern Ocean and around the world.

Introducing the SSS Sam Simon
|
No, that's not a Japanese research vessel (anymore) — it's the newest addition to Neptune's Navy, the SSS Sam Simon!
This ship was generously purchased
for Sea Shepherd by Los Angeles-based philanthropist and co-creator of
TV's "The Simpsons," Mr. Sam Simon. It is an ice-strengthened steel
vessel that was retired from service by the Japanese Government in 2010
and recently purchased covertly from the Japanese government for use in
Sea Shepherd campaigns. Her maiden voyage will be Operation Zero
Tolerance!

Our Fearless Captain Has Returned!
|
 Just
in time to celebrate the sweetest birthday gift of all by rejoining his
crew, Captain Paul Watson is once again in his rightful place on board
our flagship vessel, the SSS Steve Irwin, and in command of Sea Shepherd’s fleet.
It’s been four long months of
trying to stay one step ahead of politically motivated attacks from the
Japanese government, but Captain Watson has finally joined Operation
Zero Tolerance, where he will remain in command for the duration of the
campaign. Sea Shepherd is poised to help make this Antarctic Whale
Defense Campaign the most successful in our history by shutting the
whaling fleet down before they can kill a single whale.
Get the details on Captain Watson’s odyssey…

Ready, Set, GO-Z-T!

 Operation
Zero Tolerance is underway! Support continues to come in from around
the world from like-minded and kind-hearted individuals like you who
understand Sea Shepherd and its vital mission of defending the great
whales in an established whale sanctuary.
Thanks to all of you who have
already given so generously to fuel and stock our ships. If you haven’t
yet had an opportunity to donate, please do so today so we can reach our
goal of sending the whalers home before they can kill a single whale.
We’re making it easy to give by extending our $9 campaign.
Can you spare $9 (or any amount) to help save the life of a whale? Read how you can help…

We have never been stronger, nor more determined. Our dedication to
defending the integrity of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary is
undiminished, for we know that the key to success is persistence,
patience and perseverance.
A special thank-you to all of you
who have donated to Sea Shepherd and made it possible for our ships to
be where they are today. But, we still need your help to refuel and
outfit the vessels, while keeping our other campaigns around the world
going. If you can help us during this pivotal moment in whaling history,
please donate today.
The whales, dolphins, seals, sharks, and other marine life depend on us
for their protection, and we depend on you to get us there.
For the oceans,
Captain Paul Watson
Founder and President
