whaling in Japan

Activists claim the crew covered the dead whale with a tarpaulin
A photo is taken by anti-whaling group, Sea Shepherds, and it shows that the Japanese are whaling in the Antarctic waters. The water where the Japanese are whaling appears to be close to Australia since they are bothered about it. The anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd released images about the Japanese whaling and the Australian government is disappointed that the Japanese are whaling for scientific reasons. Japanese people who practice whaling think that it is reasonable for people to kill whales because their population is large enough. One day, the anti-whaling group's helicopter spotted a Japanese vessel with a dead whale. The Japanese "scrambled" to cover the whale. This shows that the Japanese know that what they are doing is not right and it also contradicts their reason that they are whaling for scientific reasons because they wouldn't be ashamed or afraid to an extent that they would cover the dead whale in a cunning and quick manner. By this, we can know that there is another reason why the Japanese are whaling which is not shown in this news. Also, due to the lie from the Japanese words and actions, Australia would not believe or trust Japan. This could bring about some conflicts. This news probably is directed to the Australian anti-whaling group and Australians because it brings up a point that they have to do something about it and that Japan is not a trustworthy country. This is similar to the Cold War because the Soviet Union planted bombs in Cuba while the US in Turkey. They were neutral allies, but from those actions, their trust fell and the whole Cuban Crisis happened. I hope that a war doesn't arise from this small spark of conflict.
