Great news: The International Court of Justice ends Japan’s Antarctic whaling! Today, Japan’s Antarctic whaling was declared illegal and orders it to stop immediately! This decision will bring to an end the annual hunt under the guise of ‘scientific whaling.’ Between 2002 and 2011, the Japanese fleet killed 7,982 minke whales in the Antarctic. In the 2012-2013 season Japan killed 103 minke whales. The ICJ has found that Japan’s whalers failed to consider if non-lethal means could have been used to gather data. Its conclusion is that Japan’s Antarctic whaling is illegal.
