Greenpeace: Japan Cuts Whale Hunt Quota by 20%
Japan will drop its minke whale targets from 935 to 750, the first reduction made in over 20 years.
On top of reduced whale meat demand and world-wide pressure, Japan cites the unrelenting sea protests as a reason for this decision. This comes as both a huge victory for the animal rights community and also as breaking news, considering stories earlier today reported this season’s quota to be the same as it had been in previous years.
