For example north Italian people love to eat rare sing-birds, almost extincted them in their homeland so they come/go to other counties to hunt (every year they hunt hundreds of these little things down just in my country- illegally of course)... no comment...
And don't forget that hunting for fur or other selfish reasons still count - like your national sport: hunting (endangered) red-foxes...

I have heard about this killing of song birds. no doubt all countries treat many creatures badly until they become extinct.


We have deliberate culls of deer to keep the population down or they would over run the land and there not be enough food for them.


I see that Japan wishes to have other whaling countries to join with them.


Not good news for whales.

Is this supposed to be unbiased research? It sounds like you have already come to your conclusions.

Now foxes are becoming too numerous in urban areas. If there were cases of rabies-- foxes would quickly spread the disease.

Sorry I did not know that...

I see, from 2004...

And the second statement seems to be pretty convenient, I think Japanese has their reasons too.

Really, I don't mean to be rude nor to defend whale-hunting but don't you think you're a bit one-sided?

of course it´s unbiased...
It´s only enviromental theme... Last year I wrote about oil disaster...

I think that the Japanese who participates in this topic is few.
(My English is unskilled though I want to give in response to a question.)

I totally agree, the questions are for Japanese citizens, even though I have a few things to say about whaling, I think we should respect the thread poster and let her ask her questions. Whether or not she's being biased is what her professor/teacher will grade on.

I think MMM was on the money. It really does seem like you have already made up your mind on which stance is best on the matter.

Cultural perspective is something so many people seem to think they are without, somehow.


Edit: I asked the japanese person next to me about this, this is the reply:
"え? doesn't everyone kill whales?"
