It's my understanding that whale meat and blubber are delicacies in Japan; whale hunting is banned except in certain instances, and officially the Japanese are catching them for scientific purposes.
Japanese people kill whales, because they eat whales just like we eat other animals, they kill to eat not to thrill.
