Whales are intelligent. They should not be killed by humans who mask the activities as scientific research.
Japan is a great country and a leader on many levels. I speak Japanese. I enjoy Japanese food and culture. The people are very kind and considerate. There are some who are concerned if you stop killing whales you must stop killing fish and other forms of sustenance. This is not the case. The difference is whales are not sustenance and are not something most Japanese would eat or enjoy to eat. Therefore to stop killing whales does not mean we must stop killing the fish we eat to survive.
Cultures evolve and more forward. Japan should move forward and stop killing whales.

Japanese people should not allow tax payer money to finance a new whaling ship. There are more important programs that are much more needed. The subsidies for whaling should end. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/jan/23/japan-to...
