Whalemeat fot sale Greenpeace uncovers rort
A Japanese crew were discovered selling salted whale meat from their ship on return from Antarctica which violates Japan’s ’scientific research’ permit. The Nisshin Maru crew members were interviewed, informing Greenpeace that dozens of workers resold salted meat not included in the official whaling statistics. The ship’s operator Kyodo Sempaku insisted that giving crew members ’souvenir’ meat was a decade-old custom. Japan is able to kill whales due to a loophole in a 1986 moratorium that allows ‘lethal research’ however activists are trying to prove that the meat is destined for dinner tables instead of the laboratory.
