The attack took place while berthed in the  French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. The <EM>Farley Mowat</EM> was berthed in St. Pierre to transfer  video footage of the Canadian seal slaughter onto shore and await the  resumption of the slaughter, which was temporarily suspended after the death of  four sealers. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.seashepherd.org/news/media_080404_1.html"><P>Tensions quickly escalated in St. Pierre as the growing mob hurled rocks, threats,  and insults at crew members of the <EM>Farley  Mowat</EM>. Cameraman Simeon Houtman was assaulted by an axe-wielding fisherman  after stepping onshore to film the incident. “The fisherman raised the axe  above his head with one arm and tried to knock Simeon back with his other.  Simeon jumped back onto the ship just before the mob threw our gangplank into  the water,” said Peter Hammarstedt, First Officer of the <EM>Farley Mowat</EM>. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.seashepherd.org/news/media_080404_1.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.seashepherd.org/img/BF472D3E-9998-4019-9007-50B859A8422B" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.seashepherd.org/news/media_080404_1.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.seashepherd.org/img/FBBE5561-F772-4552-9239-3912C555DE73" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.seashepherd.org/news/media_080404_1.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.seashepherd.org/img/B060C916-3479-4382-8CA9-7E99AA94B121" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.seashepherd.org/news/media_080404_1.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.seashepherd.org/img/062C9E11-7D92-4AF9-B3E8-93EE350E6021" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.seashepherd.org/news/media_080404_1.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.seashepherd.org/img/D8F14249-910E-4865-AB9C-BB9688B410C9" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.seashepherd.org/news/media_080404_1.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.seashepherd.org/img/1AF1B03C-64A7-449D-A5EE-C3EFFC934114" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/59DDE6A3-DCCB-4884-B5A6-5E1AF198678E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
