Activists from the Sea Shepherd group, Ralph Lowe (L) and former Dutch police officer Laurens de Groot, throw bottles at the Japanese whaling ship Nisshin Maru from their vessel, the Steve Irwin, in the Southern Ocean March 3, 2008.

Anti-whaling activists have found a unique way of disposing of acidic rotten butter by throwing bottles of it at a Japanese whaling ship in Antarctic waters Monday, injuring several crew members, Japanese officials said.

Sea Sheperd protesters threw the containers, which contained butyric acid produced by rotting butter, at the Nisshin Maru whaling ship. The ship is taking part in Japan's research whaling program.

"We strongly condemn this," Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura said. Japanese officials said at least three crew members were injured lightly. It was not clear if they were hit with the bottles.

Sea Shepherd and other anti-whaling protesters have continually harassed the Japanese whaling fleet in an effort to interfere with Tokyo's hunting season, during which it takes hundreds of mink whales in the Antarctic.

The group said it threw more than two dozen bottles of rotten butter — which has a rancid odor — onto the Japanese ship, as well as packets with an unspecified slippery chemical onto the deck to interfere with whale flencing.

"I guess we can call this nonviolent chemical warfare," said Sea Shepherd leader Paul Watson in the statement.

Japan has accused the activists of terrorist tactics, but Sea Shepherd called on Japan to stop its hunt, in a statement issued after the confrontation.

Japan planned to issue a formal protest to the Netherlands, which licenses the activist boat, the Steve Irwin, said Itsunori Onodera, senior vice minister for foreign affairs.

A surprising but delighting scene occured Tuesday when Australian bad-boy cricketer Andrew Symonds flattened a streaker during the second one-day final against India in Brisbane.

The man ran onto the pitch, naked, and toward Symonds at the non-striker's end on Tuesday as he attempted to evade chasing police and ground security staff at the Australia vs India match.

Symonds stood his ground and leaned into the streaker in a rugby-style shoulder charge, dropping him instantly to the ground.

Symonds, who may face disciplinary action, reached 42 as Australia was beaten by nine runs, losing the series 2-0.

Symonds could face a serious punishment if the International Cricket Council decides that he breached section 4.2 of the player's code of conduct relating to a physical assault of a rival player, an official or a spectator.

The sanction for that is a suspension from five test matches or 10 limited-overs internationals up to a life ban.
