Now we wait for Japan to appeal, not stopping their hunt in the meantime, and then when they lose the appeal we have to wait and see if they decide to stop without enforcement (unlikely). It’s a big win for the movement to save the whales, no question there, but I wonder if hunting caused even a fraction of the CURRENT pressure on whales. I’m thinking pollution, changes to their food source, collisions with large ships, etc. are much more problematic.
