Dead whale dumped at Japan’s doorstep
Greenpeace activists parked a 20-ton dead whale outside the Japanese embassy in Berlin on Thursday to protest against the country’s whaling program.
For a country so dependent on the sea for food and related products, you’d think they would be the model for sustainability. Instead they seem to fly in the face of it as if somehow, perhaps magically, the sea will offer limitless abundance regardless of the volume of catch.
