But first, in the arguments about the pros¹ and cons² of whaling, we hear a lot 

from campaigners and politicians, but we rarely hear from the hunters themselves.

Well, today on Outlook, we are at sea with the crew of a Norwegian whaling ship.

Jo Fidgen's report comes at a time when Japan is in the dark at the International

Court of Justice in the Hague, accused of breaking the international moratorium³ on 

whaling. It kills up to a thousand minke and fin⁴ whales each year but claims they 

are needed for scientific research.
