This photo released by the environmental group Greenpeace and taken on July

1, 1999 shows a freshly killed Minke whale hoisted onto Norwegian whaler

Kato in the North Sea. Despite huge international criticism against its

commercial whale hunt Norway has doubled its quotas in the past five years,

but its hunters are struggling to catch the authorised number of whales.
