Whaling fleet sets to sea for hunt
Japan's whaling fleet set out for the Antarctic on Tuesday to resume a hunt for the mammals after a yearlong hiatus, prompting criticism from Australia and the United States. Japan aims to take more than 300 whales before the hunt ends next year and nearly 4,000 over the next 12 years.
