![]() wow, it took how long to figure that out?
from wiki: The International Court of Justice rules that Japan's whale hunt is not for scientific purposes and must be halted.

![]() Omg thats amazing!!! Watching whale wars and similar shows was just ridiculous. I couldn't believe they were allowed to do that for so long. Whales FTW!!!!
I'm just so happy that finally someone realized that japan was simply using a scientific research loophole to justify making money harvesting whales. Really big win for the oceans.

![]() I don't think this will stop them from whaling. If there was a widespread consumer boycott of Japanese automotive and electronic products, the whaling would top.

![]() 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.
