Anybody tasted whale meat before? Looks like it will become impossible to taste this from now unless one washes up on the east coast shores.

Japan ordered to immediately stop whaling in Antarctic as International Court of Justice rules program was not carried out for scientific purposes
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled Japan must immediately stop its whaling program in the Antarctic.
The ICJ's 16-judge panel ruled 12 votes to four in favour of Australia's argument that Japan's whaling program was not in fact designed and carried out for scientific purposes.
The court ruled that Japan must revoke current whaling permits and refrain from issuing any more.
Japan has used the 1946 International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, which permits killing for research, to justify killing whales in the Antarctic.
