Japan can no longer kill whales Hooray

[silverfaun]

We can thank Kevin Rudd for this stunning victory and I have no trouble doing that.

Well done Kevvie, you started the ball rolling and now Japan has to cease their horrific killing of these majestic creatures.

JAPAN may continue to kill whales in the northern Pacific, despite a UN court ruling that its annual “scientific” expedition in the Antarctic was unlawful, says Tokyo’s envoy to International Court of Justice.

Twelve of the 16 judges of the Court of International Justice in The Hague endorsed Australia’s claimthat the Japanese Antarctic whaling program, described as scientific research, was unlawful.

Will they really take any notice? The Whalers will say that they never heard of the ruling.

Just wait and see.

Sadly, Erica, I don't think they will. But at least it will give Sea Shepherd increased legitimacy.

It was nice to wake up to some good news this morning.:)

Congratulations also to Greenpeace & the Sea Shepherd for never giving up on stopping the barbaric slaughter of whales.
