The height of demand in Japan for whale meat is as high as the rest of the world would allow them; the real purpose of the need for whale meat is that it is readily available as there is no-one to stop them from been silly in the over kill of whales. If they could but care for these few left creatures, and see beyond their very last distruction [of the speices], towards an other source of food [then their need would drop] Till they open their eyes to the very distruction that they will cause in the end resault, their need will be driven by their masters needs to supply the food as has done for centuries past. Japan is a growing population and the size of the fish does matter when trying to feed the horde. The question is inaccurate it should state "what should the Japaneese prefer to eat!", in this way we could further acknowledge other resources readily available [that they could turn to], as they are a nation of very intelligent people and could easily turn to other sources if neccesary, or provoked towards [in some intelligent way]. I don't think that they prefer the whales, I think that if sardines were the size of whales they would preferrably hunt them. There are no woolly mamaths left on this planet any more [maybe for the same reason], there were other kinds of japaneese in the past history. Just a question to finish off with, "how many ways can you repeat History, in different formats [ending in the same resaults]?". "Howmany people does it take to change a light bulb?",just one idea! The world is a growing place and the populations are growing more rapidly each year, the food source should be too . thoughts by ross...
about 3.2 million Japanese people eat whale meat, so it's really the whole of japan. Also whale meat is poisonous and it has a high contamination levels that could kill 20 elephants.
The previous answer is very incorrect. Firstly, Japan has over 100 million people, and 3.2 million isn't even 5%.
According to Greenpeace, only about 5% of Japanese people eat whale.
