Japan Whaling

A minke whale that was killed for scientific purposes is unloaded at a port in Kushiro, in the northernmost main island of Hokkaido, in September 2017. Japan is considering leaving the International Whaling Commission to resume commercial hunts after unsuccessfully campaigning for decades to gain support for the cause. The Fisheries Agency said Dec. 20, 2018, officials haven't made a final decision but are considering the step. (Kyodo News via AP)
