Warhead harpoon for whales

The Australian: Warhead harpoon for whales :

"JAPANESE whalers are testing a hi-tech harpoon, equipped with an enlarged charge of high explosive, to help swiftly kill endangered whales in the seas around Antarctica."

Why? What is the point of their being protected and what is the point of the IWC if it cannot stop the slaughter of endangered species? Why don't we care and if we do care, why is this allowed to occur? We set up policies and organisations to watch over various things or to develop best practice and what occurs is individuals write their own rule book and follow those rules. Why is it not possible for us to co operate as a world on anything? Poor whales , though. It'll take them 14 minutes to die , endangered or not.
