The numbers of whales hunted by Japan has been decreasing most years, although the nation intends to ramp up its whaling operations.
In 2018, Japan killed 640 whales, compared to 383 in 2021 and 270 in 2022.

Who will protect whales from the east coast windmills, Japanese, Norwegians, and Icelanders?

Another "climate change" hoax perpetuated by morons.

they need to take their grievance to the chinese, who are notorious for overfishing. Instead, their grievances are directed to insane liberal white morons full of guilt and moral self righteousness.

Are this the the same “indigenous leaders” claiming the right to hunt and kill whales?

Some species of whales are overpopulated in some areas.

in an effort to protect whale populations from the effects of climate change,

Maybe we should grant unborn humans "personhood" status, to, you know, protect them from climate change.

Only as soon as the “protection” inevitably evolves from whales to all non-humans, then the libs shouldn’t be able to deny personhood to the unborn.

So whales are now people with eternal souls? Jesus died for whales? Whales in Heaven?

That’s a whale of a story.

It’s like all these new laws mandating electric vehicles because of climate change. Of the top 25 polluting cities in the world, not one is in the US. China and India account for almost half of world pollution yet we continue to pay the price.

To me, this law and most climate change legislation is like posting a no-peeing zone in a public swimming pool. Everyone in the pool needs to play by the same rules or it’s useless.
