Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Japan and the whale
What are the reasons Japan still hunt whales?
Coastal whale hunting doesn’t seem to cause so many international disputes
because a few countries still do as part of tradition such as Norway and
Iceland.
But whaling in the Antarctic is NOT a traditional practice. It only
started after World War II when Japanese were in hunger and encouraged by then
de-fact ruler, General MacArthur.
Are Japanese still hungry for meat or desperate for whale meat?
No. Only a few people still enjoy eating whale meat and ingredients nowadays.
There all kinds of meats and sea foods available in Japan.
So why is Japan so reluctant to stop catching endangered and
controversial whales?
Enjoy reading and finding what drives this unjustifiable practice by
pacifist country.
