The Japanese have been whaling since as early as the 12 century, it is supposed. But, they have continued since the commercial bans in 1986 and they continue to whale for scientific purposes.
The meat from these scientific expeditions is then sold in stores, and this is not breaching the laws laid down by the IWC. (International Whaling Cooperation). The Japanese maintain this is a necessary study and will keep down whale populations (otherwise known as culling).
However it is heavily debated as to whether their true intentions lie in scientific research, or in the commercial sale of whale meat and products that are considered a true delicacy in their country.
