Japan Whale Hunt Antarctica

More than 120 pregnant minke whales were killed during Japan's latest annual hunt off the coast of Antarctica, a new report said.

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.

Japanese whalers returned to port today after an Antarctic hunt that killed more than 300 of the mammals, the government said.

Japan hopes to resume whale hunting in the Antarctic later this year, a top official said today, despite a finding by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) that Tokyo had yet to prove the kill was scientifically justified.

A Japanese whaling ship and an anti-whaling protest boat collided in the remote, icy seas off Antarctica, with both sides on Monday blaming each other for the crash.
