Those who believed that the meeting of the Whaling Commission was a success for animal rights activists will be proven wrong:
Japan announced that it will double the quota for scientific whaling to more than a thousand whales. In the future, not only minke whales but also endangered fin and humpback whales will be hunted. Homes describes this as a "catastrophe for species conservation."
Under the guise of alleged science, the madness will continue - regardless of whether there will eventually be no more humpback or fin whales left. The threats to small whales will also not decrease in the future - because changes in fishing will not be discussed. Regardless of whether thousands of small whales die in the process.
And of course, all of this is again only for commercial purposes. Even Norway - which certainly has its own whaling history - kills whales mainly to sell them to Japan, where there is more money to be made ...
