This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are lying pieces of crap. They are all aware that they're killing these mammals, in fact they've given the green light to kill them. Now we know without a doubt, that they don't care about these whales.
I realize this a lot, but you need to look at all of these permit request to kill whales. It is enormous. It's shocking to me that they will allow this. There is another document showing how many whales they're willing to kill. Again all in the name of green energy. I had to break this into two parts.
