Greenpeace today condemned the Japanese government for allowing the restart of its bogus 'scientific' whaling operations in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary around Antarctica. Japan's whaling fleet consisting of the whaling factory ship Nishin Maru, three catcher ships and a spotter vessel left the Japanese port of Shimonoseki to hunt whales in Antarctica today.
