«Breaking News» Japan could quit the International Whaling Commission

Japan could quit the International Whaling Commission so it can resume hunting, it was feared last night.

Commercial whaling was banned by the IWC in 1986 after some whale species were driven almost to extinction.

For years Japan has hunted whales for ‘scientific research’, selling the meat under a programme widely criticised by conservationists.

The Japanese government is expected to cite the recovery of certain species as justification for quitting the IWC, although it is thought to be considering hunting only in its own waters.

Wildlife protection groups have already criticised the planned withdrawal.

Hideki Moronuki, of the country’s fisheries agency said Japan has ‘not yet come up with a decision’. A formal announcement could come next week.

In September Tokyo tried to get the IWC to allow commercial catch quotas but the proposal was rejected. Japanese officials claim the IWC has become a ‘biased’ anti-whaling body.

Coastal communities have hunted whales for centuries, but consumption has plummeted and critics doubt a whaling industry is sustainable, especially as many young Japanese no longer eat the meat.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
