ANSWER:

Yes. The Japanese continue to kill whales under the pretense of "research." Then they butcher them and sell the whale meat in Japan.

Why are the right whales one of most endangered mammals on the planet?

Right whales are called "right" whales because thy were considered the "right whales to hunt" - they are slow moving and float once killed. This is one reason why they were nearly wiped out. Now days the biggest threat to Right Whales is large ships. Ships often hit the slow moving whales which causes massive internal injuries. Northern Right Whales are far more endangered than Southern Right Whales because there are more shipping lanes in the Northern Oceans.
