Japan, GTFO

I think they're trying to find out when their whale cousins are going to show up in a giant spaceship that disrupts all of our communications and vaporizes all of our water.

Whaling sucks, can't they just raise some cows or something? Fish Farming? Del Taco?

Tofu?

No no, its not hunting, its research.



Like, how much can we get per kg at the fish market....

Of the species the Japanese hunt, for whatever reason, there are plenty of stocks and it's sustainable.

The only reason they call it research is because they're not allowed to hunt them for their meat

It is seriously yummy meat.


Apparantly.

To RicardoBlanco and Ratzinger, you are correct in what you say, there are quite a few whales out there now. The problem most people have is that whales were almost hunted to extinction, and without the ban, they may well have gone that way. As for killing techniques, the slaughter of animals is likely to be gruesome and turn people to vegetarianism (is that a word?). but people are always squeemish when it comes to the big "magnificent" animals. There is also the argument about just how intelligent they are, but without scientific evidence, that discussion tends to be based on subjective points rather than concise objective facts.
