16 walvisjagers opgegeten door ... Walvissen!

Eigenlijk mogen we de vlag niet uitsteken, maar stiekem zit ik wel een beetje te lachen.
Wat moet een Japanse walvisvaarder in een Zuid Afrikaans reservaat?
Maar goed, lees maar wat er gebeurt is:

A pod of killer whales had reportedly attacked the Japanese whaling crew aboard MV Nisshin Maru with one crew being gobbled down alive.

A pod of killer whales had brutally attacked the Japanese whaling crew of the MV Nisshin Maru, Japan's chief whaling vessel and the world's only whaler factory ship. The horrific incident happened in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, South Eastern Coast of South Africa.

"It was horrific. The water was red with blood, there were bodies everywhere," Asuka Kumara, a mechanical engineer who witnessed the shocking incident told The World News Daily Report.

The crew of MV Nisshin Maru jumped off the ocean without following emergency protocol after the ship smelled of a gas leak. A pod of killer whales then attacked the members of the crew who jumped off the ocean. Within thirty minutes of trying to swim to safety from the killer whales, sixteen crew members died into the ocean with one crew being swallowed alive, according to the report.

The report underlined that whaling in the South Eastern Coast of South Africa had already been banned by the United Nation's International Court of Justice in April following investigations that found Japan had violated an international moratorium on commercial whaling.

"It seems Japan just doesn't give a damn about international laws. The waste of life is always a shame, but the whales are not to blame here, they were only doing what they are born to do: kill for food," environmental activist and spokesman for Greenpeace Canada, James Ben Shahali said.

Australia and New Zealand were the only countries that lodged a case in the international court against Japan's whaling activity that was conducted under the guise of scientific research.

At a state dinner in Canberra in July, Sea Shepherd's Peter Which-Wilson handed Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe a letter that gave warning against resumption of whaling activity in Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.

In the letter, Which-Wilson said that should Japan insist in continuing the illegal activity, "the ships and the volunteers from Sea Shepherd will also return to oppose any continued unlawful whaling activities."

Japan had cancelled its whaling during the Antarctic season for 2014-2015 following the international court's ruling. However, Mr Abe expressed his plans to work around resuming the country's whaling activities without violating the parameters set by the international court.
