JAPAN WHALE FLEET OFF TO ITS BIGGEST KILLING IN 20 YEARS



The meat is only a "by-product" of the nation's "scientific" whaling, but according to a 2002 survey, only 4% regularly ate whale meat, 53% had not touched it since school and 33% had never tasted it.

"Whaling is simply not important to the Japanese public."

I don't understand or know the Japanese culture. But I think dressing this up as scientific research is palpable nonsense. I would probably respect the argument more if it was put forward as "cultural" and a token amount of non-endangered whales were taken. As it stands I think its wrong.
