I know you're like not talking against whaling...
However, just one point.
Perhaps previously the whales in Japanese seas were verging on extinction (which had a lot to do with the Americans as well) but now, too rapid multiplication is, as is a recurrent case in most animal protection activities, having a destablising effect on the local ecosystem.
Furthermore, we are whaling well into the limits of tonnage set by International Agreements.

And yeah, I think the point is that people care more for people than animals, and so should divert resources and energy into saving the 3rd world, not a tiny number of bulls being killed for spectation.
