Harp Seals 1980s
Greenpeace Harp Seal Dyeing:
1982: Rainbow Warrior harp seal campaign. Greenpeace activists spray harp seal pups with harmless coloured dye to prevent them from being killed for their white fur. The Canadian coast guard arrests the activists.

Rainbow Warrior crosses the North Atlantic in 1980 to
campaign against the slaughter of harp seal pups on the
ice packs off the east coast of Canada. Members of the crew
are arrested for dyeing the pups’ coats green to make them
commercially worthless. Film actress Brigitte Bardot is
among the crew. Returning to Canada in 1982, several
crew members are again arrested for saving the lives of
hundreds of seal pups. At the height of the campaign, the
EEC announces a ban on the importation of seal pup skins,
heralding the death knell of the commercial sealing industry.
Sea Shepherd Society:
The Sea Shepherd II blockades the harbor at St. John’s, Newfoundland, preventing the Canadian sealing fleet from leaving for two weeks. Captain Watson recalls the scene, “We lurked outside the Narrows daring the sealers to come out of the harbor. There were traffic jams in St. John’s from all the cars trying to ascend Signal Hill to catch a glimpse of the Sea Shepherd II. The sealers did not leave, under the belief that we would ram the first one that put out to sea. The delay cost them 76,000 seals. For the first time ever, the quota (of 186,000) fell short, and it fell short by 76,000.”
In April, the Sea Shepherd II moves into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and escorts three sealing ships out of the Harp seal nursery. RCMP and Canadian Coast Guard units ram and board the Sea Shepherd II in a tear-gas assault on the ice north of Nova Scotia.
Captain Watson and his 20-person crew are jailed on charges of conspiracy to violate the “Seal Protection Act” by approaching within a half nautical mile of a seal hunt. Captain Watson is given a 21-month prison sentence, the Sea Shepherd II is seized, and his crew are given $3,000 fines.

Cold Comfort - Hubert & Fischer
I like the break in the gid system layout, the way this book has used type to create geometry. The type in the black circle helps to break up white space.
