At a recent International Whaling Commission meeting, Japan demanded that it be allowed to commercially hunt certain types of whale whose numbers have recovered since a ban on commercial whaling was introduced in 1986. The commission voted on this and refused. Now Tokyo is considering leaving the commission and resuming commercial whaling. Yet Japan - alongside Norway and Iceland - already effectively hunts whales through government-funded annual expeditions to the Antarctic.
