Paul Watson, founder of the group, said he will take the ship Sea Shepherd to the North Atlantic, where Iceland plans to resume commercial whaling. The Sirenian, a smaller boat, will return to Neah Bay at the first sign the Makahs are about to hunt gray whales, he said. Watson blamed Iceland's decision to resume whaling on the Makahs, who want to resume whaling for cultural reasons. That created a precedent for hunts in other traditional whaling cultures, from Iceland and Norway to Japan, he said. Sea Shepherd and various animal-rights groups clashed with tribal members last fall during the southward whale migration, but the tribe never attempted a hunt. The hunt may be attempted next month during the whales' northward migration up the Pacific Coast. copyright Seattle Times &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Tsonkwadiyonrat (We are ONE Spirit) Unenh onhwa' Awayaton http://www.tdi.net/ishgooda/ &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
