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.

What does Japan say about whaling?

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.
