Japan will resume hunting in its waters in July but will end controversial expeditions to the Southern ocean
Japan is facing international condemnation after confirming it will resuming commercial whaling for the first time in more than 30 years.
The country’s fleet will resume commercial operations in July next 2019, the government’s chief spokesman, Yoshihide Suga, said of the decision to defy the 1986 global ban on commercial whaling.

Extremely disappointed to hear that Japan has decided to withdraw from the International Whaling Commission to resume commercial whaling. The UK is strongly opposed to commercial whaling and will continue to fight for the protection and welfare of these majestic mammals.
Appalling decision by Japanese government. They must rethink. https://t.co/l1tgvpM8IW
Japan will start commercial whaling.
Let’s ask Japan to reconsider!
It’s dangerous when nations break out of global agreements and start setting their own rules.https://t.co/8KoKR65M6G pic.twitter.com/AxN6Wtz9hF
