I have heard the argument that Japan has been "eating whales for 400 years." Well, it's time to stop!
The world ate meats of all kinds for thousands of years, but it has stopped eating bears, elephants, etc. for quite some time now. As people, we adjusted! Seems to me that the few whales we have left in the oceans should be spared and, for that matter, so should the shrimp, lobster and fish of all kinds.
The fact that the oceans are all polluted and that every day someone is sickened by some oceanic species should be enough to convince us all to stop eating most of everything!
Let's do the right thing and stop killing and polluting our world. We all want to live in safety and health. Japan has the resources to eat well otherwise, and to leave the whales alone.
