Update on the meeting today between Sea shepherd and The scottish wild salmon company. Sea shepherd UK went to the table with as good an offer as its possible for us to make and asked only that the Scottish wild salmon company hands back its licences and ceases to kill seals. The Scottish wild salmon company have asked for a week to consider our offer and have promised that they will kill no seals during that period. For the sake of the good people of Gardenstown and local relations Sea shepherd suggested that the HSA depart from the town and this has now happened. Sea shepherd are hugely grateful to the HSA for all they have done in Gardenstown towards our mutual cause of stopping seals being killed. Huge respect to the members involved who conducted themselves with restraint even when employees of Scottish wild salmon company provocatively turned up at our beach clean up today. Sea shepherd hugely appreciates the wonderful response from our supporters in putting pressure on the Harbour trust regarding the invoice for filming, this has now been resolved and we would ask that no more emails, tweets or comments are sent to them. The Harbour trustees have acted nobly and relations are now good between Sea shepherd and the harbour. We urge seal lovers across the world to come together and (politely) make it very clear to the Scottish government and the Scottish wild salmon company that shooting protected seals under any circumstances is totally unacceptable. With your help and support we can bring an end to this senseless and unnecessary killing!
