Japan whalers return from Antarctic hunt after killing 333 whales

Japanese whaling vessels returned to port on Saturday after catching more than 300 of the mammals in the Antarctic Ocean without facing any protests by anti-whaling groups, officials said.

A fleet of five whalers set sail for the Southern Ocean in November, as Tokyo pursues its "research whaling" in defiance of global criticism.

Whale blubber. Japanese are supposed to be renowned for their sensible diets. I understand, when in days of yore, the Eskimo people would take a whale every now and then to survive. One whale to feed an entire community.

333.....where is all that blubber going? And its not like they're fighting fair anymore, with sonar.
