HARD-LINE anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd has temporarily abandoned its pursuit of Japan's whaling fleet in the Antarctic while its ship refuels. Paul Watson, founder of the United States group, said yesterday the vessel the Steve Irwin would refuel at the nearest available port and then return to the pursuit.
He said the two-week operation in the Southern Ocean had been a success as the number of whales killed by the Japanese had fallen.
Japan's whaling fleet is in the Antarctic for an annual hunt to capture 900 whales.
