The Australian government has launched an anti-whaling video aimed at Japanese children. The video, which carries Japanese subtitles, urges all countries to stop catching and killing whales. (Japan opposes the international prohibition of commercial whaling. Every year it hunts hundreds of whales in Antarctica under what it describes as a scientific research programme. This year, it will hunt 50 humpback whales – an endangered species – as well as more than 900 minke whales, a move criticised by anti-whaling nations.)
