Japan quits International Whaling Commission

The government of Japan has announced it will leave the International Whaling Commission, cease whaling in the Southern Ocean, and begin commercial whaling in the Pacific Ocean.

To explain the significance of this action, Peter welcomes Kitty Block, President of Humane Society International and Acting President and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States.

Block has been following the activities of the IWC for two decades and shares her valuable insights. There are actions we all can take to protect the whales of the world, so please listen carefully to this interview.

As a non-member, Japan is no longer bound by the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling – the rules that the International Whaling Commission has used to manage whaling since 1946.

The International Whaling Commission’s moratorium on commercial whaling has broadly been a success – whale populations have increased where whaling was the primary threat. The humpback whale is one example of successful recovery, but species such as the North Atlantic Right whale have never recovered from centuries of whaling and are in critically low numbers.

We then move to news stories including that of poacher who killed hundreds of deer sentenced to repeatedly watch the movie Bambi, the exponential growth of the vegan food movement, and the health benefits of having pets.

Then, attorney Mark Momjian joins Lori to discuss an upcoming legal case in the UK in which a fired employee is asserting that being a vegan for ethical reasons is a protected legal status, similar to race, religion, age, and gender.

Profile of animal advocate, Lori Marino, PhD.

Lori concludes with an interview with Dr. Lori Marino, discussing her life as an advocate for animals. Trained as a neuroscientist, Marino is President of The Whale Sanctuary Project, and Executive Director of the Kimmela Center for Animal Advocacy.

    The only problem with this is that being a vegan is mostly for young impressionable people mos tooth no knowledge of nutrition and humans. Not to mention of course 90% of vegans go back to meat based diets within two years!? Just bcuase you report veganism is exploded will not make it so repeating lies doesn’t make them true?
