Japan has halted their whale hunting season thanks to, none other than the Sea Sheppard. For those unaware the Sea Sheppard Conservation Society was formed by an early member of Greenpeace who left due to the lack of aggressive tactics by greenpeace. They travel the seas in a modified ship terrorizing whaling vessels, say what you want about their tactics- even I’m not sure if I agree with some of the things they do, but for the first time it appears to have worked on a larger scale.

Let’s hope that this halt to the hunt and combined with the fact that Japan even recently admitted that whale meat was a scam, we can end whaling once and for all.
