Great news. Sea Shepherd does amazing work in stopping Japan’s inhumane whaling practices, which are often falsely claimed to be research expeditions. Japan isn’t the only country still engaging in the cruel hunting of these highly social and intelligent creatures but they’re the most visible. The international community has not reigned in Japan’s whaling activity, and so the burden has fallen on groups like Sea Shepherd.
Next up: disruption of China’s giant fleets of illegal and unsustainable fishing ships.

- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoMaybe that’s true in Europe. In the US we mostly are exposed to Japan’s practices. I do wonder why that is though. Maybe because there’s more cultural awareness of Japan in the parts of the US that have lots of awareness of whale conservation (west coast)?
