Japan says that it wants the discussion of whaling to be carried out calmly, on the basis of scientific evidence, without emotion.

Thus, whaling is unethical.

International Whaling Commission, Cambridge, United Kingdom

Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser s conservative government accepted his recommendation that whaling be stopped, and Australia soon became an anti whaling nation.

While Japan has suspended its plan to kill humpback whales, its Japanese whaling fleet will still kill about 1,000 other whales, mostly smaller minke whales. Japan justifies its whaling as research, because the International Whaling Commission s rules allow member nations to kill whales for such purposes.

I did not argue that whaling should stop because whales are endangered.

The change in public opinion about whaling has been dramatic, and not only in Australia.

Whaling should stop because it brings needless suffering to social, intelligent animals capable of enjoying their own lives.

Since the end of the whaling and sealing era, most of the islands' species have been able to increase their population again.

)In 1909, an administrative centre and residence were established at King Edward Point on South Georgia, near the whaling station of Grytviken.

Well, okay, technically it's actually about Greenpeace, which is an environmental organization that wanted to stop the Japanese government on their whaling campaign.

Greenpeace began the protests against Australian whaling, and the government appointed Sydney Frost, a retired judge, to head an inquiry into the practice.

They claim that Western countries object to whaling because, for them, whales are a special kind of animal, as cows are for Hindus.

Despite its remote location and barren nature, the island has seen commercial activities in past centuries, such as coal mining, fishing and whaling.

But what was even more important was the fact that they actually accomplished their mission. The Japanese government called off their whaling expedition. Mission accomplished.

The Australian government strongly opposes whaling, yet it permits the killing of millions of kangaroos each year a slaughter that involves a great deal of animal suffering.

An older study, examining whales captured by the New Zealand whaling fleet in the Cook Strait region, found a 1.69 1 ratio of squid to fish by weight.

The black, you can't really see this, but these are Norwegian basking shark hunting vessels, and the black line in the crow's nest signifies this is a shark vessel rather than a whaling vessel.

The table does not include the numerous whaling voyages that took place during this period, or sub Antarctic expeditions such as that of Carl Chun in 1898 99, which did not penetrate the Antarctic circle.

Recognizing the need for strengthening scientific and technological capabilities and networks for the exchange of scientific data and information,

It's a scientific question after all.
