Boats clash in Antarctica


Japan whaling people have been killing up to 1,000 whales every year, and the anti-whaling people are deciding on rocking the Japanese ship, so they won't continuing killing so many whales. On February 7, a boat of anti-whaling protestors had collided with the Japanese whaling vessel in Antarctica ocean. The Japanese said that the anti-whaling people rammed their boat on purpose, and they call it a "unforgivable act of violence". But the campaigner said that the Japanese whaling vessel was blocking the way as they tried to stop the Japanese to kill the whale. It has been illegal to kill whales since 1986. And the anti-whaling activists have been following the Japanese since December of 2008, and they have been throwing things on each others' boat. The government of Australia and New Zealand(which are the two countries that are against the hunt of whales) are trying solve the problem. But the anti-whaling groups said that they are just going to whatever that can stop the hunt of whales of Japanese.
