Japanese Whaling Fleet Calls it a Day in Antarctica

By Rocky Thompson on February 17th, 2011

With only half their fishing season’s bag limit in the tank, the Nisshin Maru whale processing boat is leaving Antarctic waters and returning to Japan. Wow. I never thought I would say this, but it seems that Sea Sheppard and the whole ‘Whale Wars‘ thing actually had a positive impact. The Sea Sheppard has been wary of proclaiming all out victory, but hopefully this signals a turning point in the Japanese slaughter of whales. If that’s the case, Sea Sheppard will get the chance to take on the Iceland whalers who are still out dragging endangered mammals out of the ocean.

    Yeah, he butchered it last time too. I think he’s just being stubborn now.
