Japanese Ships Depart for Antarctic Ocean Whale Hunt
Japan resumed whaling in the Antarctic Ocean, despite a court order last year to halt the practice, Japan's Fisheries Agency said.
Amongst all other today's black spots of cruelty, one additional carnage against innocent helpless victims, installed in our hands, imposed on us, despite our will. m.l.p.
MOSCOW
(Sputnik) — On Monday, the agency announced it would continue
to harvest whales after skipping one hunting season from December 2015
until March 2016.
The International Court of Justice ruled in March that Japan must
halt its whale program in the Antarctic Ocean. Japan obliged, but later
applied for permission to resume whaling, decreasing the size of the
whale catches by two-thirds.
Commercial whaling has been banned across the world for almost 30 years. The International Whaling Commission allows hunting and killing whales for scientific research purposes, a loophole Japan has been exploiting for decades.
