Japanese commercial whalers recently killed their first fin whale in 50 years, part of a quota of 59 fin whales for 2024.
In 2023, Japan caught nearly 300 minke, Bryde’s, and sei whales in its exclusive economic zone and has set a higher quota for 2024.

Country leaders of Captain Paul Watson’s movement are voicing their support of him, as he has sparked a global initiative to protect our oceans.
If defending our planet is a crime, then we should all be arrested.
We are immensely grateful to everyone who has dedicated their time and energy to support Paul Watson, his mission, and the right of people everywhere to take action for our oceans and our future! 🌊

'Capture and killing of small cetaceans in the Faroe Islands is inhumane and offers little scope for improvement' - Alick Simmons, Independent Researcher
"The entire process of the Grindadráp is inherently inhumane: From the beginning of the drive through to the animals being driven into shallow water and then dragged onto the beach the whole process will almost certainly be highly distressing. This conclusion is reinforced when one takes into account the likely disorientation from the noise and the other activities of the hunters, and the likely distress from being isolated from its social group.
Severing the spinal cord is prohibited in the EU as a means of restraint for farmed animals and it is not considered a suitable killing method.
The assertion that severing the spinal cord with the spinal lance causes instantaneous or near-instantaneous death (Olsen, 2011; NAMMCO, 2014) cannot be substantiated since it merely paralyses the animal without rendering it unconscious."

Less than 10 days after the arrest of anti-whaling activist Paul Watson in Greenland, Japan harpoons its first endangered fin whale in over 50 years.
The Japanese government announced last week that it will allow the catch and kill of up to 59 fin whales commercially, a move heavily opposed by conservation organisations and governments around the world.

On July 21st, Denmark arrested Paul Watson in response to a request from Japan, on allegations stemming from his opposition to Japan’s illegal whaling activities in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Just days ago, Japan issued a formal request for his extradition.
In March 2014 Japan’s whaling programme was deemed illegal at the International Court of Justice in the Hague, a ruling which Japan breached for several years until pausing its illegal high seas whaling, thanks to Watson’s anti-whaling direct action activism and international pressure from Australia and New Zealand.
“Japan continues to flaunt international conservation law and Paul Watson is being punished for Japan’s crimes. Denmark surely realises the political motivation here for this arrest request: Japan needs Paul Watson out of the way so they can resume slaughtering the world’s great whales,” states Locky MacLean, on board the CPWF (Captain Paul Watson Foundation) flagship off the coast of Greenland, which was en route to the North Pacific to oppose the Japanese whaling effort until Mr. Watson’s arrest.
