Oceans Action Against Whaling in Japan

Grrenpeace activists hold a banner in Japanese reading "1.2 billion yen for whaling?" as the Japanese whaling ship Nisshin Maru departs from its home port of Innoshima in Hiroshima. This 22nd research whaling expedition to the Southern Ocean is supported by a roughly estimated total 1.2 billion yen (US$12.36 million) in Japanese taxpayers' money, the highest amount to date.
