Hello Cetacean Activist Folks!
This is redundant information for many of you, my apologies.
However, there is a fair amount of news coverage lately concerning these folks:

The Institute of Cetacean Research ( ICR )
http://www.icrwhale.org/eng-index.html
The ICR conducts the practice of whale slaughter, however it is referred to as Scientific Research. Japan's Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Minister http://www.does not deny that the whale meat is consumed, http://www.smh.com.au/environment/whale-watch/japan-will-never-stop-whaling-minister-20130226-2f4jt.html so the ICR could indeed also be referred to as the Japanese Whaling Industry (sort of? maybe?) But the Whaling Industry is Illegal, so the legal pseudonym they prefer to be known by is ICR
