Greenpeace Involved In Burglary

Greenpeace may have scored some PR points abroad by exposing a scheme in which crew members of Japanese whaling research vessels secretly sold large amounts of whale meat, but their methods have angered some Japanese. In order to seize packages of whale meat, members of Greenpeace Japan admitted to having entered a delivery company’s distribution center in Tokyo on April 15th without permission. In total Greenpeace found 23.5 kilograms of whale meat, worth 100,000 to 300,000 yen (or roughly $1000-$3000 USD), smuggled by 12 crewmembers of Kyodo Senpaku Kaisha, Ltd.
