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.
Antarctica.
Korean people do not hate and hunt whales. It is the japanese who kills whales for food. The chinese are reported to hunt whales on certain occasions.
They will have to find a new job or be arrested if they continue to hunt them.
Mostly the Pacific Ocean, but pretty much any where they can get away with it.
To some Japanese people, it is a sport to hunt whales. It is illegal though: because, whales are endangered. (Partly because of whaleing).
Japan had a history of taking large numbers of whales. They continue to hunt whales, 400 to 600 per year, claiming it is for research.
Its a poorly veiled lie. Everybody knows that it is for commercial gain.
Yet another ineptly phrased question. Whales have been hunted almost to extinction. Some nations have voluntarily stopped hunting whales. Some nations continue to hunt them.
no. gray whales do not hunt. they feed on krill.
Yes the Minke Whale is an Endangered Species because the Japanese hunt the whales therefore they are endangered
