Norway also cull whales for research, although I think they're whaling is not sanctioned by any governing body like Japan, so they do what they want, though they dont kill as much as Japan.
But who would dare argue with a viking?!
Not I!
I dont think its right, whales should not be hunted for 'research'. They are the biggest animal on the planet and yet so graceful, amazing creatures.
If theyre on the brink of being endangered they should lift the bar that classes them as 'endangered' or completely protected.
Great White Sharks are also protected animals, and for good reason. You upset the balance of the eco-system and shits going to go wrong.

No, that thread would be call : "Hanging out at Salisbury bus stops"
the tour woooo
i think we have more important things to worry about than whales
ie our potentially criminal involvement in the middle east
Safe as Fuck !
I saw a documentary recently that investigated the consumption of whale meat in japan, and found that very few restaurants actually sell it, and even fewer people claimed to eat it.. that there isn't much of a market for it and they have huge stockpiles of the stuff, yet they continue to lobby for more whaling rights anyway.
I think it is somewhat of a sport to them, but also that the main reason for resistance to anti-whaling policies is to make a statement to the world that they won't be told what they can and can't do.
Definately a bit of small man syndrome at play here I think.

I certainly didn't see any for sale in restaurants when I was in Tokyo last year.

yeah im with you turbs. From what i understand there is heaps of oil in whales which gets used for all kinds of stuff e.g lipstick, oily stuff, things that need oil to be made (? i cant think of them off the top of my head)
In all seriousness, hopefully something drastic is done before its to late..

For that matter so is global warming, fuel depletion, and nuclear war.
apparently australias greenhouse emissions are a larger threat to whales than the japanese whalers, so we're being kinda hypocritical.

I was led to believe that whale meat/fat is used for the production of beauty products & perfumes more so than as food.

I think they use synthetics or other oils for the purposes you've mentioned, they dont catch that many whales officially, think about the market for cosmetics and think about the quantity of whales they're catching.
For example, the sperm whale has a wax inside its head called spermaceti
that used to be used for candles n shit, but now you can use synthetics as a perfect if not better substitute.

if whales weren't meant 2 be caught, they would be able 2 swim faster and or have bigger teeth and be able 2 fight back.

Using that mentality you would say that if humans were meant to catch them we would have harpoon built into our arms.
