Sea Shepherd Bluefin tuna Ady Gil
Every June the fishermen of the Mediterranean Sea embark on
their annual Bluefin tuna fishing. The
majority of the tuna captured are shipped off to Japan. The past couple of years Sea Shepherd
followed these fishermen claiming they were monitoring them. Sea Shepherd assumed the role of enforcing
the quotas set by ICCAT (International Commission for the Conservation of
Atlantic Tunas).
How come Sea Shepherd is noticeably absent from the
Mediterranean Sea this Bluefin tuna season?
Possibly the money absorbed by a Mediterranean expedition is needed to
support the lofty lifestyle of the fugitive, “pope Paul the Watson.” It can be rather expensive maintaining a
lifestyle while on the run. However a
reliable source reports the fugitive is possibly relaxing while dancing with
Matilda in Australia. Because the
fugitive is a fugitive the fishermen are free to fish the Bluefin tuna without
harassment from the bullies of the floating circus.
Sea Shepherd has liability insurance with the Great American
Insurance Company. Due to the injunction
placed upon Sea Shepherd by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and being
labeled as pirates, the Great American Insurance Company filed court papers to
be removed as Sea Shepherd’s insurer.
Mr. Ady Gil who provided the money to purchase the trimaran
Earthrace for Sea Shepherd and later renamed “Ady Gil,” is suing Sea Shepherd
for $5 million. Mr. Gil is suing stating
Sea Shepherd / Paul Watson purposely released the vessel allowing it to drift
off into the Southern Ocean.
Sea Shepherd is now claiming the lawsuit is for $50
million. Not true. The lawsuit is for $5 million, then asking
for punitive damages of 9x the amount of the suit. Punitive damages are rarely paid on a case
like this. However the filing of the
lawsuit was for $5 million, not $50 million.
