Whales 1, Japan 0

Bad news can come on any day, but it seems worse when it comes on Monday. By the same token, good news on a Monday seems especially good. And what better news can we report than an apparent defeat of Japan's bid to gain a majority voting bloc on the International Whaling Commission and thereby lift the ban on commercial whaling?

We've reported on Japan's unfriendly stance against marine mammals before (here and here), and there's been plenty of lively debate on the Oceanblue Divers message board, so it's great news to learn that Japan's own tactics have been used against them to secure an anti-whaling majority on the IWC. Read the news article here.
