NP Rank:
Battered Japanese Whalers Return
The Japanese whaling fleet has returned to port 305 whales short of their target. They were hounded in their Antarctic hunting grounds by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, aboard the Steve Irwin.
The exchanges between the Sea Shepherd members and the whalers became increasingly hostile and spokesman Paul Watson says they broke off the chase in February because the situation had become too dangerous.
Japan's whaling fleet has returned to its home port after violent clashes with anti-whaling activists damaged its ships and left the Antarctic hunting season's catch well short of its target, officials have said.
Officials said the six vessels had caught 679 minke whales and one fin whale during its five-month hunt, short of the targeted 935 minke whales and 50 fin whales in the hunt that began in November.
The Sea Shepherd which chased the Japanese fleet more than 3,200km through the Antarctic ocean withdrew in February after increasingly hostile exchanges between the two sides.
Japanese officials have also described the environmentalists as "terrorists" and "pirates", and demanded the Australian take action against Sea Shepherd.
The Japanese government is allowed to kill whales for scientific research purposes, however whale meat is sold at Japanese supermarkets and high priced eateries. Many conservationists dispute that there is a scientific need for nearly a thousand whales to be killed for research in one year.

Thanks for this Rhonda. It's so sad to know that whalers are still trying to eliminate some of the largest animals on our planet — all for the sake of human greed.

Thank you Barbara. Scientific research sure sound like smoke and mirrors. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, it.s probably a duck.

I'd sure like to see a stop to this whaling. There can't be that much science yet to learn from whales that requires murdering them. There's always dead beached whales to autopsy. Damn liars!

Good for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, I wish those whaling fleet drawn into the sea one of these days with all their nasty and dirty money.

I have so much respect for the people that work at Greenpeace, good for them for not giving up, that's great.

This is not Greenpeace, it's the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Greenpeace is a joke and refused to anything about the whales being slaughtered each year.

Until the 20th Century the Wales where almost holy in Japan and believed to be the dehisces of the sea helping maintain the balance.
Japan once opposed Norway in late 19 century for introducing industrial whale hunts, arguing it would destabilize the eco system.

Scandal: Japan's whalers caught redhanded
DEFENDING WHALES WEBLOG
weblog.greenpeace.org/whales/
It's been a busy few days for the Defending Whales Team in Tokyo, Japan:
"Stake outs, testimony from informers, hidden cameras and tailing trucks full of stolen goods - it reads like a Hollywood movie, but it was an every day experience for Greenpeace activists in Japan, who have spent four months cracking open a major conspiracy of corruption at the heart of Japan's government-backed, sham scientific whaling operation."

Activists from Greenpeace Japan meet the whaling factory ship Nisshin Maru with a banner saying "FAILED" as it arrives in Tokyo, Japan to unload whale meat for sale. The ship failed to meet its quota of 935 whales by nearly half, in part because the Greenpeace ship Esperanza stopped the entire whaling operation for 15 days as it chased the Nisshin Maru across the Southern Ocean, over a distance of 4300 miles.

II - Japanes whaling ship Nisshin Maru arrives back in Japan
Japan, having just returned from its last so-called "scientific"
whaling expedition to the Southern Ocean whale sanctuary. It is now
one year since Greenpeace activists Junichi Sato and Toru Suzuki first
exposed the embezzlement of whale meat from the fleet. They are still
on trial and facing up to ten years in prison, yet nothing has been
done to address the scandal and the real criminals behind the
embezzlement. Greenpeace is calling for all charges against Sato and
Suzuki to be dropped, and for an end to whaling in the Southern Ocean.

Photo: Beautifully restored Icelandic fishing boats, now used for whale watching. The people of Iceland have chosen a new Prime Minister, Johanna Sigurdardottir. A well known opponent Iceland's whaling whaling, before the election, Ms Sigurdardottir's interim government made clear its opposition to Iceland’s whaling legacy.
In the coming month, while the Prime Minister and her colleagues are busy creating a new government and working to regenerate the nation’s economy, Iceland has a real chance to end decades of damaging policy, by becoming a world leader in whale conservation.
Click here to write to Iceland's Prime Minister now.
Please ask Ms Sigurdardottir to make the best of this important opportunity: by cancelling Iceland's five year commercial whaling quota, and ensuring that Iceland's representative at this year’s International Whaling Commission meeting votes for whale conservation, firmly establishing Iceland as an environmental model for other nations to follow.

The whale hunt continues Posted by Irene onboard the Esperanza
Two years ago: what they do not
want you and me to see.
©Greenpeace/Kate Davison
The Oceanic Viking reports that at least five whales have been killed in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. I am sad, angry and frustrated.
We chased the factory ship the Nisshin Maru over a distance of 4,300 nautical miles. During that time no whales were killed. When we had to leave the Australian surveillance vessel Oceanic Viking had arrived. If the whaling fleet have "only" killed five whales so far, it means that the whaling fleet didn't resume whaling immediately, but I guess they got desperate to try and fill their quota. It is very difficult to find anything positive to say today.
Media coverage and public discussion on the whaling issue has reached unprecedented levels in Japan, and Prime Minister Fukuda has been forced to discuss the whaling issue in Parliament.
Japanese taxpayers must be wondering why they are funding this scandalous fake research operation which produces no real science, whale meat that very few wants to eat, and brings their country into international disrepute.
The Japanese government wants to "normalise" the International Whaling Commission, and overthrow the moratorium on commercial whaling. Bloody pictures of whales being killed in the Southern Ocean do not serve this purpose.

Navio de ONG se choca com baleeiro japonês no mar da Antártida
Do UOL Notícias*
Em São Paulo
O navio da ONG "Sea Shepherd" ("pastor do mar") colidiu contra um navio de pesca de baleias quando tentava impedir a ação predatória da embarcação, no mar da Antártida. Nenhum dos tripulantes dos dois navios se feriu na colisão, que causou estragos leves no baleeiro japonês, informou o grupo ativista.
O navio dos ativistas se aproximou do baleeiro japonês no momento em que os tripulantes tentavam içar uma baleia morta a bordo. "Estávamos tentando bloquear o navio para que eles não conseguissem alcançar a baleia, mas quando nos movemos, o Yushin Maru 1 (barco japonês) veio em nossa direção", afirmou o capitão do navio ativista, Paul Watson.
"Não consegui fazer qualquer manobra sem bater no navio. Tentei recuar, mas a colisão foi inevitável", disse o capitão em comunicado.
O ato causou indignação das autoridades japonesas. "Consideramos o ocorrido um ato de violência imperdoável", disse porta-voz da Agência de Pescas japonesa, Shigeki Takaya.
O governo da Nova Zelândia já se manifestou contra a atividade dos baleeiros em seus mares, mas pediu que uma solução pacífica seja estudada.
Este foi o segundo incidente envolvendo a ONG em poucos dias. No início da semana, ativistas da "Sea Shepherd" acusaram caçadores de baleia de ferir dois
ambientalistas em águas antárticas. Um deles teria sido atingido por jatos d'água com grande pressão e o outro por uma bola de metal, segundo a ONG.
Uma moratória à caça comercial de baleias existe desde 1986, mas o Japão afirma caçar na Antártida com fins científicos. Estima-se que a caça de baleias tem causado a morte de cerca de 900 animais por ano.
O MUNDO PRECISA VALORIZAR O TRABALHO DOS ATIVISTAS E DE TODOS QUE PROCURAM DIMINUIR OS ASSASSINATOS DOS ANIMAIS QUE SOFREM PARA SUSTENTAR A VAIDADE, A AMBIÇÃO E O PRAZER DA PRÁTICA DO CRIME CONTRA A NATUREZA E CONTRA OS SERES HUMANOS QUE SE IMPORTAM COM A QUALIDADE DE VIDA DO PLANETA E, COM A DOR DOS SERES QUE NÃO PODEM SE DEFENDER DOS BÁRBAROS.

Whalers blocked from refuelling in Antarctica Posted by Dave onboard the Esperanza Jetske and Heath between the vessels ©Greenpeace/Jiri Rezac
As part of a dramatic non-violent protest against the whaling fleet's activities in the Southern Ocean, Jetske and Heath placed their inflatable boat between the factory ship and refueling vessel, as the massive two ships tried to come alongside to refuel. However, despite radio calls explaining our protest and plan, the vessels continued to close in on each other - and after half an hour, the inflable was forced out, with Jetske nearly getting caught by a cable. Only then did the refuelling begin.

petition overview | letter
End Whale & Dolphin Slaughter in the Faroe Islands!
Target:Prime Minister Jannes Eidesgaard
Sponsored by: John Koehler
www.thepetitionsite.com/1/end-whale-dolphin-s
Whales are sensitive, social animals with highly developed nervous systems. They have a profound capacity to suffer distress, terror and pain. Each year, the Faroese kill pilot whales and other small cetaceans.
Islanders in motorboats first drive the whales into a bay. The chase may be lengthy. The exhausted, terrified and confused whales are eventually driven into the shallows. Here the bloodbath begins. The islanders repeatedly hammer 2.2 kg metal gaffs into the living flesh of each whale until the hooks hold. A 15 cm knife is then used to slash through the blubber and flesh to the spinal column. Next the main blood vessels are severed. The blood-stained bay is soon filled with horribly mutilated and dying whales.
The Faroese celebrate the butchery of their victims in an carnival atmosphere of entertainment. Indoctrinated from an early age, children are often given a day off school to watch the fun. They run down to the bay and clamber over the carcasses of slaughtered whales.
Every year around 2,000 whales are driven ashore and cruelly slaughtered in the Faroe Islands, mid-way between the Shetland Islands and Iceland. For centuries the Faroe Islanders have hunted pilot whales, driving entire schools into killing bays, where they are speared or gaffed from boats, dragged ashore and butchered with knives. Although the Islands are a protectorate of Denmark, they have their own Government and regulations governing the pilot whale hunt or "grind" as it is known.
Aside from the fact that the number of North Atlantic long-finned pilot whales is unknown and they are listed as 'strictly protected' by the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats, this is an act of barbarism and pointlessness. By slaughtering 100 whales at a time, the Faroese are wiping out entire pods and family groups. They are removing building blocks from the gene pool of the species and damaging the web of life in the North Atlantic and the North Sea.
The drive hunt is a practice abandoned elsewhere many decades ago, and now outlawed by other European states. The inhabitants of the Faroe Islands have no subsistence need for whale meat, and much of the flesh is left to rot and be dumped; it cannot be exported, as it is polluted with heavy metals and other toxins and therefore cannot meet EU heath standards for human food.
According to Faroese legislation it is also permitted to hunt certain species of small cetaceans other than pilot whales. These include: Bottlenose dolphin; Atlantic white-beaked dolphin; Atlantic white-sided dolphin; and Harbour porpoise (There are also specific regulations for the hunting of harbour porpoise. Harbour porpoises are killed with shotguns).
