Interestingly outside Japan everybody realizes the whale hunting is not "scientifically" justified....

Hope this farce´ll end soon.

I just watched the documentary film "The Cove" and am glad to see Japanese like the Tokyo Two are putting Japan's Whaling industry on trial. Hopefully their justice system will be reformed to better protect whistle blowers & those who expose corruption after this embarrassing case concludes & the Tokyo Two are set free.

I can never fully understand why a countries like Japan, Norway, Denmark, which are famous around the world for their excellent attitude toward the environment, is still whaling, and whaling a lot. Evidently they don't lack of food or oil at all, they just do it to keep up an out-of-date tradition and save some hundreds works that can be easily transferred to other fields.

If you read news reports, you'll see that they have a formidable defense lawyers, who are expert on human rights. This I reckon is just a video, not a legal testimony.
