Sea Shepherd films Japanese whalers catching rare whale illegally

The anti-whaling activists of Sea Shepherd claim they have filmed Japanese whalers killing in Australia’s Antarctic whale sanctuary. A video filmed from a helicopter shows a dead mink on deck of a Japanese whaling ship. The crew reportedly tried to hide the whale by covering it with a tarpaulin. In 2015, the Japanese fleet was found guilty of killing whales in Australia’s sanctuary and fined $1m. Japan is ignoring a worldwide moratorium on whale hunting using the excuse of scientific research. Jan 15, 2017

The Women’s March on Washington on 21 January could attract up to 200,000 protesters. Jan 15, 2017
