London Whale Protest and Blog

Yesterday saw protestors defy the heat on the streets and march to the Japanese embassy to decry Japan's decision to launch overtly commercial whaling again.

HERE is a blog piece from me trying to explain this issue and below some photos from the anti-whaling rally.

Thanks to Rob Lott/WDC for the 3rd and 5th photos above.
