Japan will stop hunting whales in the waters off Antarctica. The country will obey a ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), delivered today. The decision followed a suit by Australia, challenging the claim by Japan that the hunts were just for scientific purposes. It has been shown that Australia was right, Japan was wrong.
Well, even though I love Japan as a kind of second homeland, as the homeland of my dog breed, I would never defend anything Japan does. If the hunting of whales affects endangered species, which is apparently does, the judgment of the ICJ was correct. Hunting is good, in it self, but if hunting is making certain species of animals endangered, that kind of hunting is bad. We have to preserve species for the future.
