WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - The anti-whaling activist group Sea Shepherd said Wednesday its two protest ships were abandoning their pursuit of Japanese whaling vessels because one of the group's ships was running out of fuel.
Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson said with just eight days' fuel in its tanks, its vessel Farley Mowat was heading for the Australian port of Melbourne along with the group's other ship, the Robert Hunter.
"We're just physically not able to do any more at this stage," Watson told The Associated Press by telephone from the Robert Hunter.
