 that's truely amazing. I'm glad the Japanese are doing this. I recently started watching "Whale Wars" on Animal Planet and I guess the Japanese are one of the few contries that still hunt whales. |

There is a huge controversy regarding Japanese research whaling since many people believe that they found a loophole in the international regulation of whaling by getting the research permit and then selling all of the whale meat on the food market anyway. The japanese say it's not a loophole but just a way to process any extra tissue left over after research. My perspective is that there is absolutely no need to conduct lethal research for the reasons the Japanese have stated (reproduction studies, age, food consumption studies, etc). Other countries are perfectly content with non-lethal research and I can't say that that I've heard of any significant breakthroughs from Japan in the 18 years that they've been working under the guise of whaling research. ANYWAY, back on topic..... it is great that they are still focused on restoration even with the limited success of their first attempt. I wish more countries would perform similar actions. |
