Arrests made on Farley Mowat

The Canadian Minister of Fisheries and Oceans said today that the auction taken in the Gulf today by the government was to protect Canadians. Loyola Hearn says the boarding of the Farley Mowat and the arrest of the captain and the chief officer were to protect the livelihoods and safety of the sealers there. On the other hand, the head of the Sea Sheperd Conservation Society, Paul Watson, called it "an act of war". Paul Watson says the coast guard boarded the boat and took command, with agents yelling at the crew to get down on the deck. http://www.vocm.com/news-info.asp?id=27976
