Pictures of Japanese Slaughter of Mother and Baby Minke Whale. This is absolutely disgraceful. Every fishing region that I know of have specifications when it comes to what you can and cannot take. These specifications relate to size and gender and often the time of the year. Why? To protect the species. I do not know of any area that allows one to take a mother and baby – particularly when it is an endangered species.

I urge everyone to visit this site and view the photo gallery. Then voice your concerns in the loudest possible voice. For the Japanese to claim they are catching these animals in the name of research is beyond words. I for one feel this is totally disgraceful.
