SYDNEY — Scientists from Australia and New Zealand are to set out on a whale research expedition to the Antarctic on Monday in an effort to disprove Japan’s argument that whales must be killed to be studied. The results of the six-week expedition are central to the whaling debate because Japan is allowed to kill whales provided it’s for research. Still, both sides acknowledge the effort will likely do little to change Japan’s support for whaling.
