 Japan kills whales again “in the name of research |
 |
Japan sent its whaling fleet on an expedition yesterday, despite protests from anti-whaling groups and Australia's own Environment Minister, who argue that it is not necessary to kill whales in the name of research. In a statement, Japan's Fisheries Agency said 333 Antarctic Minke whales would be captured and killed, although non-lethal research on the cetaceans would also be carried out. The announcement comes a year after whaling stopped following a ruling by the United Nations International Court of Justice (ICJ) that urged Japan to end its whaling programs, which Australia had described as covert commercial hunting. The Australian Environment Minister, Greg Hunt, published a statement on his website in response to the new mission in which he assures that "the Australian government has made numerous calls at the highest level to urge Japan not to resume hunting of whales this year.
“The demands have been made by the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of the Environment,” the document Special Database adds. “We do not accept in any way, shape or concept the killing of whales under the name of 'scientific research'.” “There is no need to kill whales in the name of research. Non-lethal research techniques are the most effective and efficient method of studying all cetaceans. “We will continue to urge Japan to pursue non-lethal research methods and end its unnecessary whaling program.” The environmental group Sea Shepherd — which has previously been involved in aggressive clashes with Japanese whaling ships — joined in calling for the expedition not to go ahead. “The pristine waters of the Southern Ocean are once again under threat from poachers,” said Sea Shepherd CEO Alex Cornelissen. “We would like to remind the Japanese government that Southern Ocean whales are protected by international law, Australian law and Sea Shepherd.” “As such, any violation of the Southern Whale Sanctuary or the Australian Whale Sanctuary will be considered a criminal act.
In April, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) rejected a proposal by Japan to kill 4,000 whales over the next 12 years, after a panel ruled that Japan had not provided sufficient evidence that these hunts would be for scientific purposes. Scientific research is one of the few legal exceptions to the 1986 global ban on commercial hunting. However, the convention also provides countries with the ability to issue themselves the permit, something Japan continues to take advantage of. Nina is the brainchild of Global Workplace Solutions (GWS), dedicated to identifying and researching workplace trends to understand their impact on the world of work. Through it they try to decode what a work day could be like in 2040 and imagine how her work and family life could be articulated, with her hobbies. Nina is a “digirati” girl, she is a person who is digitally mature, she is innovative, she also adds value to the company and leads it towards digital transformation.
