More than 120 pregnant whales were slaughtered in the latest Japanese whale hunt in Antarctica’s Southern Ocean new documents show reigniting calls for Australia to step up efforts to stop the annual killing spree.

最新档案显示,近期日本在南极洲附近海域的捕鲸行动中,屠杀了超过120条怀孕的鲸鱼。该行动再次引发批评声浪,要求澳大利亚赶紧阻止这一年一度的杀戮盛宴。
 
A further 114 immature whales were killed as part of the so-called “scientific” whaling program according to meeting papers from the International Whaling Commission’s scientific committee meeting this month.

根据本月国际捕鲸委员会的科技委员会会议文件,作为所谓“科学”鲸鱼研究项目的一部分,另有114头未成年鲸鱼被屠杀。
 
Japan insists on conducting its annual summer whale hunt – including killing in Australian whale sanctuaries - despite international condemnation.

日本坚持开展其一年一度的夏季捕鲸行动,甚至进入澳大利亚鲸鱼保护区内进行屠杀,无视国际上的谴责。
 
The latest figures show that of 333 minke Antarctic whales killed last summer 181 were females. Some 122 females or 67 per cent were pregnant.

最新数据显示去年夏天有333头南极小须鲸遭屠杀,其中181头为雌性,而其中67%,即122头是怀孕的母鲸。
 
The hunt killed 61 immature males and 53 immature females – 114 in total.

这次捕鲸行动杀害了114头未成年鲸鱼,包括61头雄性和53头雌性。
 
Japan claims the whaling is for scientific research yet also allows the sale of the whale flesh in markets and restaurants.

日本声称捕获的鲸鱼是用于科学研究,同时却允许贩卖鲸鱼肉到市场上或餐馆里。
 
The documents show Japan characterised its latest killings as "biological sampling" that aims to investigate "the structure and dynamics of the Antarctic marine ecosystem”.

文件显示日本把它们近期的杀戮描述为“生物采样”,目的在于调查“南极洲海洋生态系统的结构和动态”。



Once a school of minke whales was sighted the Japanese identified one or two for killing using “harpoons with a 30g penthrite grenade”. Whales were then transported to the research base vessel Nisshin Maru on which 12 “researchers” were on board.

一旦发现一群小须鲸,日本人就会从中挑出一两头,使用“装有30克高爆手雷的鱼叉”予以杀害。之后鲸鱼会被运往载有12名“研究人员”的科研船“日新丸”号上。
 
Japan claims it must obtain the stomach contents of the whales “to estimate prey composition and consumption”. Blubber thickness fat weight and girth are purportedly required to study the animal's nutritional condition.

日本声称它必须获取鲸鱼的胃部内容物,“以评估其猎物的组成和消耗量”。鲸脂脂肪厚度、重量和鲸鱼腹部周长据称对于研究动物营养状况必不可少。

Body parts and organs are weighed using electronic hanging scales and skull measurements are taken using a large calliper.

鲸鱼身体各部位和器官的重量由电子吊秤测量,头骨大小则由一个大型卡尺测量。
 
In order to estimate the age of a whale Japan says only “lethal sampling methods” are adequate. This involves examining the extent of earwax plugs that accumulate in a whale’s ears over a lifetime which reveal its age.

为了估算鲸鱼的年龄,日本称其只能使用这种“致命的采样手法”。这包括检测鲸鱼耳垢的累积程度从而显示出鲸鱼的年龄。
 
The documents say Japan targeted 344 whales and killed 333. Eleven whales evaded the harpoons and escaped “into the high density sea ice”.

文件显示日本盯上了344头鲸鱼并杀死其中的333头。剩余的11头鲸鱼躲开了鱼叉的攻击并逃进“漂浮着高密度海冰的海域”。
 
Humane Society International senior program manager Alexia Wellbelove said the killing of 122 pregnant whales was “a shocking statistic and sad indictment on the cruelty of Japan's whale hunt”.

国际人道(爱护动物)协会高级项目经理亚历克西娅·韦尔比勒沃(Alexia Wellbelove)说,122头怀孕母鲸被屠杀“是个令人震惊的数字,也是对日本残酷捕鲸行动的控诉”。
 
"It is further demonstration if needed of the truly gruesome and unnecessary nature of whaling operations especially when non-lethal surveys have been shown to be sufficient for scientific needs” she said.

她表示,“这进一步表明捕鲸行动的本质——罪恶滔天且毫无必要,特别是当非致命性调查已经足够科研所需的时候。”



Ms Wellbelove said whales already faced threats such as marine pollution and commercial fishing by-catch. Australia should send “the strongest possible message to Japan that it should stop its lethal whaling programs” she said.

韦尔比勒沃女士说,鲸鱼已经面临海洋污染和商业捕捞的威胁。她说澳大利亚应该发表“最严正的声明,要求日本必须停止其致命的捕鲸计划。”
 
Labor's environment spokesman Tony Burke said the Turnbull government "can’t continue to turn a blind eye to this. It’s appalling".

澳大利亚工党环境部发言人托尼·伯克( Tony Burke)说,特恩布尔政府(澳现政府)“不会再继续无视这件事,(日本捕鲸行动)实在是太骇人了。”
 
"There is nothing scientific about harpooning a pregnant whale chopping it up and putting it on a plate. Japan’s position on this is absurd and the Australian government must not be silent" he said.

他说,“将鱼叉刺入一头怀孕母鲸,把它斩成碎块然后放在餐盘上,这根本与科学无关。日本的立场十分荒谬,澳大利亚政府对此不应沉默。”
 
Environment and Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg said the government was "deeply disappointed" in the Japanese whaling activity.

资源及能源部长乔什·弗莱登伯格(Josh Frydenberg)声称,澳政府对日本的捕鲸活动“深感失望”。
 
"The government has made representations at the highest levels to Japan and will continue to do so" he said.

他表示,“澳政府已经向日本提出了最高级别的交涉,并且会坚持做下去。”

-------------译者:HSQfor_future-审核者:周天寰宇2------------

Mr Frydenberg said Australia initiated proceedings against Japan in the International Court of Justice and was working through the International Whaling Commission to end commercial and so-called scientific whaling as well as promoting whale conservation and seeking greater scrutiny of Japan's whale hunt.

弗莱登伯格先生说,澳大利亚已经向联合国际法庭发起针对日本的诉讼,并且携手国际捕鲸委员会,以终结商业捕鲸和所谓的科研捕鲸,并加强鲸鱼保护以及提高对日本捕鲸计划的审核标准。
 
In November footage emerged showing the brutality of a Japanese whale hunt in an Australian whale sanctuary. The federal government fought to have the footage kept secret arguing that it would harm relations with Japan.

11月,一段影片展示了一次日本在澳大利亚鲸鱼保护区内的残忍捕鲸行动。澳联邦政府极力掩盖该影片的存在,并声称这会伤害其与日本的关系。
 
Before being elected the Coalition pledged to send a Customs ship to Antarctica to police the hunt which takes place in Australian waters in contravention of international laws.

在大选获胜之前,现执政联盟曾承诺派出海关执法船只到澳大利亚南极洲海域稽查违反国际法的捕鲸行为。
 
In February 2013 then opposition environment spokesman Greg Hunt accused the Labor government of "turning a blind eye to whaling in our waters ... [we] should have a Customs vessel in the Southern Ocean."

2013年2月,反对党环境部发言人格雷格·亨特(Greg Hunt)指责工党政府“无视我们海域内的捕鲸行为……(我们)在南澳大利亚海域应该要有一艘海关执法船(巡逻)。”
 
Since coming to power the Coalition has not dispatched any such vessels but has sent a plane to conduct aerial surveys.

自上台以来,执政联盟从未派出任何执法船,仅派遣了一架飞机进行空中调查。
 
As Fairfax Media reported in August last year conservation group Sea Shepherd has abandoned its annual face-off with Japanese whaling ships in Antarctic waters because it no longer had the resources to send its boats to prevent the hunt.

据费法斯传媒(Fairfax Media)去年8月的报道,环保团体“海洋守护者”已经放弃与日本捕鲸船在南极洲海域进行一年一度的对峙,因为他们已没有足够的资源派遣船只去防止捕鲸活动。
 
The Japanese embassy has been contacted for comment. It has previously said its whale program was carried out "in accordance with the International Convention for Regulation of Whaling".

日本大使馆接受了采访,日前表示它们的捕鲸项目有“遵守国际捕鲸管制公约”。
 
Japan reportedly intends to take about 4000 whales over the next 12 years and ultimately plans to resume commercial whaling.

据报道,日本有意在接下来的12年内捕杀大约4000头鲸鱼,并最终寻求恢复商业捕鲸。

The market doesn't pay much for whale meat in Japan though. It's a pretty unpopular meat.
Edit: Actually I'm going to walk that back. It's an unpopular meat so I assume it's cheap but I've never actually checked the prices in supermarkets. Because supply is low and demand is also low it could be one of those weird outliers of low demand and high prices.

不过鲸鱼肉在日本市场的价格并不高,鲸鱼肉不是很受欢迎。
另外:实际上我由果溯因推测,因为这不是很受欢迎的肉所以我以为它很便宜,但我从未在市场上核对过其实际价格。因为低供应低需求,也可能会出现低需求但高价格的这种异常市场现象。

Interesting BBC article: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35397749
The article claims the reason for continued whaling is the "fact that Japan's whaling is government-run a large bureaucracy with research budgets annual plans promotions and pensions." They go on to say that despite falling demand and a general consensus that there should not be any whaling by Japan "if the number of staff in a bureaucrat's office decreases while they are in charge they feel tremendous shame. Which means most of the bureaucrats will fight to keep the whaling section in their ministry at all costs."

这篇BBC的报道挺有意思的:http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35397749
日本捕鲸的原因,文章里是这样说的“日本捕鲸业有政府参与运作,有政府部门每年为调查预算的拨款和补贴作为支持。”文章里还说,尽管需求量下降,同时公众也普遍认为日本应停止捕鲸行动,但“如果这个政府部门需要处理的事务减少了,他们会感到相当羞耻。而这意味着这些人会在他们的任期内,不惜一切代价竭尽全力保障捕鲸业的存在。”

Japan's other justification is that it needs to kill hundreds of whales each year to study them. But the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has systematically dismantled that argument. In 2014 it ruled that there was no scientific case for Japan's programme of "lethal research" in the Southern Ocean and ordered Tokyo to stop.

日本给出其捕鲸的另一个理由是做研究,所以他们需要每年杀死几百头鲸。但国际法庭驳回了这个借口。2014年,国际法庭作出裁决,判决日本在南大洋实施的这项“致命研究”计划没有科学依据,并下令东京停止捕鲸行动。

why don't they just change the focus of the "research" from whale harvesting to preservation of endangered oceanic species and their habitat? nobody has to lose a job just change the function. if that already exists 1) they're doing a shitty job and 2) put twice as many people on the problem. no shame no guilt and a sense of pride in helping to solve a real world tangible problem.

为啥他们不改个“研究”方向,比如从捕杀鲸鱼转至关注保护其他濒危海洋生物及其栖息地?这样没人会因为职能改变而失业。如果真的失业了,那是因为:1)他们工作做得太差劲。2)这个岗位人数本来就超编。解决一个世界级的实在问题,没有羞愧感,还会有一点小骄傲。

“why don't they just change the focus of the "research" from whale harvesting to preservation of endangered oceanic species and their habitat?”
Well probably because they want the whale meat.
Norway does the same shit except they're not doing it under the guise of "scientific purposes" because they were never forced to. Iceland hunts about half as many endangered whales as Japan and both have 3% the human population combined.
Perhaps it's time for people to stop being hypocrites and just ask for a complete and total whaling ban or at least strict limits set according to the population of each country.

“为啥他们不改个“研究”方向,比如从捕杀鲸鱼转至关注保护其他濒危海洋生物及其栖息地?”
原因应该是他们想要鲸鱼肉。挪威也有在捕鲸,只不过他们没有拿“科学需要”做幌子,因为没人逼他解释。冰岛猎杀的濒危鲸鱼数量差不多是日本的一半,(挪威和冰岛)都有3%的人参与其中。事到如今,大家是时候别再做伪君子了,应该呼吁出台一条完备的捕鲸禁令,或者至少做到根据每个国家的人口制定严格限制令。

Honestly the big problem is that there is a lot of bad information out there and this doesn't help. The main whale that is hunted by all whaling nations is the minke whale minke whales are classified as 'least concern' by the IUCN. Meanwhile there are multiple species of tuna that are threatened or endangered. Unfortunately the 'whale sanctuaries' probably don't hold up to international law as they do not fall within Australian territorial waters meaning that Australia doesn't really have the authority to make them. The fact of the matter is that I would likely be downvoted for noting the fact that there is no 'ban' and only a moratorium.

老实说,最大的问题是那里爆出了很多不良信息,而且并没什么作用。捕鲸国家主要是捕杀小须鲸。小须鲸被国际自然保护联盟归为“无危物种”。与此同时,很多种类的金枪鱼却被列为濒危物种。不幸的是,“鲸鱼保护区”可能不受国家法律保护,因为它们生活的海域不属于澳大利亚领海,这意味着澳大利亚无权去制定相关法律法规。事实上,根本就没有真正的捕鲸禁令,最多就是要求暂停,而我有可能因为知道的太多而不被理解(被点踩)。

Now that should not alone make up anyone's mind. However the ludicrous idea that Norway and Iceland should just be allowed to whale because they didn't sign or opt out of a treaty against their own self interest like Japan did under duress from US politicians to remove their fishing quotas(which they did anyway) or that indigenous populations should not be allowed to use modern technology or repeatedly ignoring their own scientific findings aren't good enough. My personal opinion is that it has to be well regulated(banned or not) and not the slap fight with opportunistic special interests that it is.

如今并不能独断地去决定一个人的想法。然而,最可笑的观点是应允许挪威和冰岛捕鲸,因为他们没有签署或退出会违背其利益的协议,就如日本在美国政客的逼迫下取消了其捕鱼配额(然而他们还是没遵守依旧捕杀鲸鱼),或不允许土着居民使用现代技术(产品),或(不计后果)称这结果还不够好反复忽视其科学发现。我个人对此的观点是,这必须要严加控制(要么禁止要么不禁止),而不是跟投机取巧的特殊利益集团玩“互打耳光”。

Essentially it boils down to this: Norway and Iceland never said they would stop hunting whales they straight up disagreed to it. But Japan agreed at the time so the other governments care when they find a loophole it's like an affront to them. So they media cares because they care not to mention "Japan kills whales still insists it's for research" makes a much better story than "Norway kills whales". So people who don't know the history of it take the news and project whichever idea that makes the most sense to them: Japan kills rare whales Japan kills more whales Japan is less humane etc etc. But people don't read into it properly and it's left to other people on reddit to set the story straight for them

基本上归结为:挪威和冰岛从来没有表示他们会停止捕鲸,他们直接拒绝签署协议。但日本当时是同意的,所以其他政府在日本没按规定执行时很在意,这就像是在冒犯侮辱他们。各个国家的媒体关注只因为政府关注而已,更不用说“日本捕杀鲸鱼,坚持声称是要进行科研”这种话要比“挪威捕杀鲸鱼”的标题要引人注目。因此,不了解它的历史的人会把新闻和主观印象形成最符合他们想法的观点作为依据:日本杀死濒危鲸鱼,日本捕杀更多鲸鱼,日本不人道等等。少有人仔细读新闻,红迪网上大多数人直接脑补故事。

I agree but at least until recently Japan did kill a few other whale species than Minke though including endangered ones like Sei and Fin. Norway after they restarted whaling in 1993 only killed the relatively plentyful Atlantic Minke (Norway's earlier whaling history was far from pretty though). So it's not completely unfair that Japan gets the most flak here also outside the fact that they're being disingenuous about their motive. This is also why activists have done their direct action on the Japanese the last decades another reason we hear more about them.

我同意,但最近日本确实捕杀了小须鲸以外的一些濒临灭绝的鲸类,包括大须鲸和长须鲸等。挪威在1993年重新开始捕鲸之后,只捕杀了数量相对多的大西洋小须鲸(尽管挪威早期的捕鲸史远没有那么漂亮)。因此,日本在这里被炮轰成灰并不是完全不公平的,除此之外,他们并没有坦诚相告其捕鲸动机。这也是为什么活动分子在过去几十年中对日本人采取直接行动,也是我们听到频繁捕鲸就抨击日本的新闻另一个原因。

Well it's not just the fact they do it disingenuously they go into other nations territorial waters and do it. Like if you want to hunt a non-endangered species of whale for food do it in your own territory. Don't bullshit it's not for food and use scientific studies as a excuse to poach in other nations waters.

另外他们不仅掩饰其动机,他们还进入了其他国家的领海捕鲸。就像如果你想捕食非濒危物种的鲸鱼当作食物,在你自己的领海上做就是。不要胡说这不是为了食物,以科学研究为借口在其他国家水域偷猎。

I'm sorry to rain on the "hate japan" parade but most whales that are caught are pregnant. If only 67% were pregnant that's a lot lower than the number of pregnant caught in Norway (90%). Whales have a very long gestation period of up to 16 months and is usually pregnant in the feeding grounds.
This article and headline makes it sound like Japan somehow is picking out pregnant whales to experiment on them. Sensationalist propaganda and bullshit.

我很抱歉在沸沸扬扬的“憎恨日本”的情绪上泼冷水,但大多数被捕的鲸鱼都怀孕了。其实只有67%的鲸鱼处于怀孕中,要比挪威捕杀的鲸鱼中有90%怀孕的这个数字低很多。鲸鱼的怀孕期长达16个月,且通常是在觅食地受孕的。这篇文章的标题和内容在某种程度上像是在说,日本专挑怀孕的鲸鱼,对它们进行试验。这不过是胡说八道,只是想博点击量罢了。
