Godspeed to those eco heroes who go down to the frigid Southern Sea in ships to protect the humpback whales from Japanese "scientific research". The whaling fleet left Japan a few days ago to hunt and kill fifty of the singing whales as well as hundreds of others. Japan does not respect the international moratorium on whaling which has allowed the humpback to make a modest increase in population. [Photo credit: National Geographic]
