Context : A pod of more than 100 false killer whales was shepherded back into deep water following
a massive stranding south of Perth. 63 Whales beached themselves in Mandurah and 100 more in Busselton.
This came a week after an international animal rights group has lost the first round of a legal battle against a
Japanese company it says kills whales inside Australia's Antarctic whale sanctuary.
The decision follows a submission by the Federal Government to the court saying it could take no
action against whaling company Kyodo Senpaku Kaisha Ltd because Japan did not recognise Australia's
jurisdiction in the area. The Humane Society International's (HSI) said Kyodo Senpaku Kaisha killed around
440 minke whales inside Australia's Antarctic Territory each year and had slaughtered whales
within the sanctuary every summer since 1987.
