| 1320671 | 2012-12-30 05:07:00 | Sea Shepherd prepared for Japan whale hunt (www.nzherald.co.nz) 3:52 PM Sunday Dec 30, 2012 Trouble is brewing again in the Southern Ocean, as Japan sets off on its annual whale hunt. And this year it will meet even more opposition than before. Sky News reports the conservation group Sea Shepherd has built its fleet up to four ships and says it'll stop at nothing to prevent whales being taken. It wants intervention by the Australian Government, but Environment Minister Tony Burke says he's done all he can. "Japan's behaviour on this must stop. We have taken every action that is possible to take. We are not about to declare war on Japan." Sea Shepherd captain Paul Watson is out to save as many whales as possible. "We're going to do everything that we can to prevent them from killing a single whale. "We're not out here to hurt anybody, we're hear to just uphold international conservation law." |

| 1320672 | 2012-12-30 05:21:00 | Agreed. The standard of spelling in the print media particularly is appalling. It's not a matter of being pedantic per se; we need accuracy in the printed word, but in the wider sense that those who want to can be educated in the correct usage. If Grannie for example misuses "verses" when they really mean "versus", that is never going to help those who are trying to learn. |

| 1320679 | 2012-12-30 19:28:00 | Hardly the "Granny Herald" anymore. More likely the "Auckland News of the World".. We canceled our sub about 6 weeks ago it go so bad. Tabloid size then tabloid content.. Mind you if people in this NG are going thru this paper with such detail I think it's time they went outside and played. |
