Japan Looks to Resume Whale Hunts
(AP) - Japan said Thursday it would look for ways to resume the commercial hunting of whales as it accused the United States of worsening a rift among nations on the international commission established to regulate whaling. Minoru Morimoto, Japan's chief delegate to the International Whaling Commission, expressed frustration after the 50-member body approved a new panel to improve conservation efforts and blocked his government's request to hunt 300 whales a year.
