Item Description
As a Japanese whaling fleet left to the Antarctic, members of Greenpeace and the Sea Shepherd marine conservation group accused the Japanese government of using taxpayer money from the earthquake recovery fund to support this hunt. The fisheries agency responded that the use of the fund was justified because one the towns destroyed by the tsunami was a whaling port.
