They Call it Science ?

Off late, we have all been hearing about the pathetic whaling going on in the Antarctic. What is really happening there ? On Thursday, Australia released some shocking pictures of Japanese fleets hunting down the whales. It was really a gruesome as you can see from the pics above.

Reports suggest that Japan is on its way to hunt down about 1000 minke and fin whales this summer in the Antarctic. History says that Japanese hunted down about 7000 minke whales over the past 20 years. Japanese officials argue that its for the purpose of research, but in reality, the meat is considered as a delicacy in Japanese and is widely super markets and in restuarents.


"Science" is the brand name given to this inhuman activity. Despite repeated warnings by the International Court of Justice, Japan does not seem to stop this in near future. If this continues, the beautiful Blue whales would disappear from the Earth in a decade or two. Something has to be done immediately.

NOTE : Photos of whale's intestines coming out after it was hit by a harpoon have also been released by the Australian Fisheries and Custom Patrol Ships from the Southern Ocean.
