"Greenpeace, along with Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and the Humane Society, revealed the link between the whaling in the Southern Ocean and Gortons. We revealed that the Japanese parent company that wholly owns Gorton's, Nippon Suissan, also partly owns the whaling fleet whose boats depart every year to hunt whales in Antarctica."
