When is the Government of Japan going to get its priorities straight? Hopefully before 2013. Its state-sponsored whale killers must be must be near a financial bottom of the ocean by now.
News.com.au March 9, 2012:
JAPAN has ended this season's whale hunt in the Antarctic Ocean having caught less than a third of its original target, the Fisheries Agency says.
Japanese whalers killed 266 minke whales and one fin whale, the agency said, well below the roughly 900 they had been aiming for when they left Japan in December.
The West Australian March 9, 2012:
The Japanese whaling fleet has pulled out of the Southern Ocean and is heading home three weeks before the whale hunt was scheduled to end.
The Japanese consul in Perth and the Institute of Cetacean Research have both confirmed the whalers are heading back to Japan.

I am a Canadian who rarely voices concern in the media. I am upset by the Japanese killing of whales and dolphins. There must be more respect for OUR shared environment. I realize that, as Canadians, we have a lot to do to clean up our environmental approach. Please put our shared world ahead of profit and exploitation.
