The sealers who assaulted the crew were from the Brady Mariner, a Newfoundland fishing vessel built in 1988 with the official number of 0810609 and registered in St. John's Newfoundland. The vessel was formally known as the Fundy Leader. The owner is a man named Rendell Genge and his address is P.O. Box 65, Anchor Point, Newfoundland, Canada A0K 1A0.
The video sent to the Mounted Police vividly illustrates the hostility and aggressiveness of the sealers in their attack on the Farley Mowat crew.

One sealer boasted that he killed seals, "because I loves to kill seals, I enjoys killing seals."

Lisa Shalom, the one Canadian of the eleven crew arrested was released last night and turned out on the streets of Charlottetown without funds or means of returning to the ship. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society found her a room for the night at a local hotel.

According to Lisa, all eleven crew were kept in plastic handcuffs for nine hours and had to spend the time sitting on a metal deck on board the ice breaker Amundsen.

The ten remaining crew, citizens of the United States, Sweden, Britain and the Netherlands were kept in confinement overnight and are expected to be brought to court this morning in Charlottetown.

In a radio conversation overheard between two sealing vessels today, they exchanged cell phone numbers. If anyone wishes to call up one of these baby killers and give them a piece of your mind the numbers are 418-861-7951 and 418-937-6746.
I'm going to try using a pay phone and see if it works ;)
