Japan
Japan is the country most prominently involved in whaling. Japan has led an active pro-whaling movement ever since whaling was banned in 1986. Consequently it has gained the support of many other countries such as Iceland and China, but it has also promised financial aid to small, poorer nations of Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific countries if they support it in the International Whaling Commission.

The moral issues of whaling include the ethical treatment of animals, the potential extinction of whale species, and the impact on marine ecosystems. Many people argue that hunting whales for profit is inhumane and unnecessary given alternative food sources available. Additionally, whales are highly intelligent and social creatures, leading to concerns about the ethics of hunting them for commercial purposes.
