Japan's whalers are planning to send 4 ships south next summer, now with plans to use biopsy guns instead of harpoons after its Antarctic hunt was outlawed by the International Court of Justice.
Japan's Fisheries Minister, Yoshimasa Hayashi, last month said his government intended to submit a new Antarctic lethal research program to the commission later this year in line with the court's decision, with "hunting plans" for 2015-16. "The same boats that slaughtered hundreds of whales over previous years will be collecting data to sneak around the International Court of Justice ruling" said the Senator Whish-Wilson.
Also in recent events, a ship carrying Icelandic Whale meat arrived in Japan. The ship had planned to refuel at the port of Durban, South Africa, but skipped the port in light of protests over the ship
