UN Court: Japanese Whaling "Not Scientific"

First time accepted submitter Nodsnarb (2851527) writes "The UN's international Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled that Japan's Antarctic whaling program is not for scientific purposes. In a statement, the court said that Japan's programme involved activities which 'can broadly be characterised as scientific research.' However, it said that 'the evidence does not establish that the programme's design and implementation are reasonable in relation to achieving its stated objectives.' It added: 'The court concludes that the special permits granted by Japan for the killing, taking and treating of whales in connection with JARPA II are not 'for purposes of scientific research' pursuant to [the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling].'"

Japan, a land filled with lies !

Japan is a country in which "truth" means nothing.

They can say that the "experiment" they carried out in their whaling exercises are for "scientific research" but all of us know that the whale meat that you can get in many sushi restaurant inside Japan came from those whaling "experiments".

And the whales are *NOT* the only animal that they killed. They kill dolphins too !
