Australia sets Nov deadline for Japan to end whaling in Antarctic waters › Japan Today: Japan News and Discussion

Quote:

Japan hunts annually in what Australia calls the Southern Ocean, where it kills around 1,000 whales for scientific research purposes. The Japanese side claims it is doing so to better understand the life cycles of whales, their effect on the ecosystem and their population structure.

This is so full of shit! 1000 for scientific research? maybe researching them into food

I love Japan as much as the next guy, but this whaling shit gotta end

Quote:

Masayuki Komatsu, a former Japanese delegate to the International Whaling Commission who once described minke whales as ‘‘cockroaches of sea,’’ told the Australian Broadcasting Corp that he is ‘‘really confident that Japan will win over this litigation.’‘ Don Rothwell, a professor who teaches international law and maritime law at Australian National University, disagrees. He has advised the government that Australia has a strong legal argument against Japanese whaling.

I'm no political scientist, but it is Australian waters, am I right?

I'm glad Australia is taking action
