Yes, the Japanese have their “research vessels” which is a totally false name for “whaling vessels”. They cruelly kill dozens of whales to sate their appetite for whale meat, when they have many other varieties of food from which to choose. They don’t need to have whale meat, and it could be dropped from their traditional foods. There is a world-wide moratorium on killing whales, which Japan illegally violates and has violated since 1987. They call it “scientific research”. Scientific research usually involves the study of an organism. And they do nothing in the way of study. They simply butcher the intelligent and beautiful animal they have just killed by firing a mechanized spear into its body and sell it to willing consumers.
Not sure if what you say is true....
That said....I commented on your comment.
I believe that was inappropriate....You can believe what you want...........
Well I don’t take kindly to your usage of the term “Jap” since my wife is from Japan, you ignorant, biased, over-pompous, hear-wringing, self-important, holier-than-thou, city-slicker.
But I can tell you the meat tastes really good.
The whale population is far from endangered as it previously was. Select culls are completed. Not much different than a hunting season for deer or other ANIMALS.
