Exactly how far from Japan is the Antaratic? It's my understanding they hunt on
the other side, tbelow Sth America. You can't get anyfurther away from Japan.
Those whales are not Japan's, Japan has no right to them. Regardless of
arguments for and against whaling Japan should respect the IWC decisions.
