So the whole research thing was a scam.
So what. Let them eat whales. We have bigger problems right now.

Good work! Thinning the herd.
Pray America wakes
I’m no ecological nut-job, but this does bother me.
There’s other meat out there that isn’t in danger of becoming extinct.
Perhaps the numbers are better than I think.
I think Japan is one of the last nations to allow this. I wish the people would find a better thing to hunt down.
Was Cap’n Crunch Paul Watson in the rendering tank?
Please tell me that POS was in the rendering tank.
Pieces of garbage. Whales have a gestation period of a year or MORE. They are not capable of swiftly replacing a loss like this. They will cause whales to go extinct for their precious palates. I wish pure acid poured down their stinking throats.
They'll probably chop up the baby whales and sell the meat like they were some kind of human babies or something. Evil bass turds!
Gotta do this. SARC/
So - if the Japanese kill & eat whales, they are evil no-good-niks?
But when Americans kill and eat whales, it’s OK?
Most comments on this thread will vehemently wish damnation visited upon the whalers.
My personal observations 30+ years making my living on the water here in S.E. Alaska have seen an exponential increase of all species on the endangered or protected list, as this Act was designed it has been successful. Too successful.
We now have a shortage of all prey upon which these species feed, again, my own observations and those who also make their living upon the water.
What is better I ask those of you who think these species deserve eternal protection;
5000 whales and no more krill, needlefish and herring? Or cull the herd and allow the food chain to replenish?
5000 sea otter and no more abalone, crab or scallops, or cull herd and allow these (also) valuable species to replenish?
5000 Stellar Sea Lions and no more salmon, and now halibut because these predators are now going after halibut, or cull the herd and allow these (very valuable) species to replenish?
Tough questions I know. While I don’t agree with wholesale slaughter of any species, we have to admit there comes a time when the over protection of any species leads to other problems as well.
Weren’t the LGTQ homos down there about that time planting the flag in Antarctica for lesbians everywhere?
Oh dear ...
I think all this save the whales and the whales are endangered
is just a boat load of BS like everything thing else these
Greenpeace fools spew.
Great vid, Way to go Japs.

I only HAVE ONE THING to SAY about this horrible cruelity!!!!
Bon Appeteit
These were Minke Whales, the most abundant, estimated to have a global population of 800,000.
Whales are intelligent and endangered and should be protected. I wish the Japanese whaling fleet could be converted to take mosquitos and wasps...
The Japanese are dying as a culture and as a race. They have absorbed too much of the West, have kept their inhumane practices regarding whales and sharks, and their youth are so caught up in fantasy lives that they are too weird to deal with reality. God help them to save themselves.God help us all, including the awesome creatures of the sea.
This is disgusting if true. Perhaps...tired after travel and visiting my elderly father... But one thing real evil does is make people have less time or energy to care about the desecration of God’s bounty ...generosity of His gifts and how best to balance them.
IMO...hunters are the best conservationists... Sometimes off kilter market forces ruin it.
When. My Quebec husband was a boy, his father caught Atlantic cod...so plentiful at the time.. Now, overfished.
I’ve got nothing good to say about people who eat horses, dogs, whales or dolphins.
Sea cows.
This is the exact opposite of keeping kosher. One reason for keeping kosher is kindness to the animal, to not take her milk to cook her dead baby in. That one is obvious. But there is another reason, that we are to control our appetites by paying attention to what we eat, limiting even though some things taste good. Like we do with sex. Limiting it to a spouse, timing, etc.
It seems the Japanese always seek to excite their bored palates no matter who or what has to die for it. And I love Japanese food and culture. But this is such cruelty for nothing but feeding dull palates.
