Good news to the Whales!

Japan has decided to put a temporary halt to the plan to hunt humpback whales near the seas of the Antarctica. Since it is only temporary, I am not sure how long they would stop... "Nobutaka Machimura said Japan is removing humpback whales from its hunting list for now in a gesture to enhance the dialogue at International Whaling Commission, torn in an emotional argument about whaling." I hope the rest of the world would do something to make this a permanent stop so that the Japanese would stop hurting the whales for good.
