Absolutely not. No new information can be gained from the "scientific research" conducted, and as a foodstuff it can easily be replaced by a multitude of different sources. It also damages the already-low populations of whale species around the world, so whaling is quite the opposite of necessary.
Japan defends its whaling practices by asserting that they are a part of its cultural heritage and tradition. The country has conducted whaling under the guise of scientific research, despite international criticism and a ban on commercial whaling by the International Whaling Commission (IWC). Japan argues that whaling is necessary for maintaining its maritime culture and has resumed commercial whaling since 2019, citing a desire for sustainable use of marine resources. This stance has led to significant tensions with environmental groups and other nations advocating for whale conservation.
The Japanese government has allowed their whaling boats to carry weapons and use them if necessary.
America is against whaling. They almost put whales out of the ocean for good when they did do whaling. They wanted their blubber for oil.
Whaling isn't good at all
Commercial Whaling has been banned since 1986 by the International Whaling commission. However, scientific whaling is allowed to strict quotas.
Protesting and intervening with whaling ships
Whaling happens in oceans, not on continents.
Whaling stopped in Australia is 1979
If you mean whales, they die painfully.
Well scientific whaling as basically when you do scientific research on whales. This is actually one of Japans excuse for whaling but of course their lying they use it for food and oil and all that (STOP WHALING!)
Whaling goes back more then 5,000 years.
Whaling affects the population of whales, and in great numbers.
