After years and years of battling in court over this issue, it's already back again. Japanese whaling fleets recently returned to what was supposed to be a whale sanctuary and killed over 300 minke whales, and more than half of them where pregnant. They claim that what they do is for scientific purposes, but no one is buying it. Organizations like the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling have always been clashing with the Japanese on this problem, and work towards ending the cruelty of what whaling companies do.
We need to take the protection of whales and any other creature for that matter seriously. Whales don't need to be killed just to be 'studied'. They are an endangered species, and that's mainly because of human activity. Whales are hunted to the point of near extinction, and that's really awful. These commercial companies are destructing what should be an area of protection for this species, so how can we protect our oceans and its life when we can't even preserve this sanctuary?

It is so awful that whales are dying because of human activity. I hope eventually the Japanese will stop their studies on the whales and just let them live free.
