Japan Caught Slaughtering a Whale in Australian Whale Sanctuary Waters Whilst Japanese PM in Sydney

JAPANESE whalers were caught slaughtering a minke whale in an Australian whaling sanctuary waters at the same time Australia was playing host to its Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe.

The Federal Government has this morning condemned Japan after one of its ships was caught whaling in the waters off Antarctica.

Anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd released photos showing a dead minke whale on the deck of the Nisshin Maru ship in the Australian whaling sanctuary.

It appears the death was playing out at the same time as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s weekend meeting with Malcolm Turnbull in Sydney, at which the ABC reports whaling was ‘mentioned’, but focused on trade and defence.
