Activism information from Isabel Lucas

In October of 2007, Isabel Lucas was part of a group of 30 people from Sea Shepherd Conservation Society  who took part in a protest against the dolphin hunting in Taiji, Wakayama, Japan.

 

 Isabel Lucas and the group paddled out on surfboards to the dolphins to attempt to stop the local fishermen from carrying out their hunt, but they were forced to turn around after being intercepted by one of the fishing boats.

 

They drove straight to Osaka airport and left the country to avoid being arrested for trespassing by the Japanese police. Many Japanese consider this kind of act as an attack on their culture.

 

 Taiji's fishery cooperative union argues that these protesters "continue willfully to distort the facts about this fishery" and protester's agendas are " based neither on international law nor on science but rather on emotion for economic self-interest."

Lucas is a spokesperson for the National Breast Cancer Foundation , and supports and is an ambassador to many organizations including:
