@@Gymnopediea All species contibute to ecosystems including roaches & whales. Unlike roaches (which are only killed usually within human buildings) whale stocks were devestated (many to the point of extinction) until the international agreement and due to their low & slow reproductive rates have only made a slow recovery. Roaches reproduce very quickly and numeriously. The Japanese never really stopped whaling but it was very much reduced. In the US there are exceptions to the whaling ban as well but only for native communities such as the Inupiat of Alaska which hunt Bowhead whale. They are severely restricted by number allowed and may not sell or do anything commercial with the meat. They may only do it as subsistence hunting.

i would not go that far. its only a very limited portion of old "showa" japan. younger japanese people dont eat whale. tried it once in Japan it tastes awful. So much better sashimi out there like tuna/salmon than endangered whales. doesnt even taste good.
@@seamc4231 interesting how the main focus in your comment is taste, and not the fact that endangered whales should NEVER EVER be hunted. Doesn't matter if they make your fu*king tastebuds explode. Wtf. smh
What is needed is a technology that allows people to experience the pain and suffering they inflict without actually being harmed. There is a great need for more empathy in the world today.
Why are so many people against the Japanese for this? Many, I repeat...MANY countries have a commercial whaling industry. Why target Japan only? I used to live in South Korea, there were two whale meat resturaunts within 5 minutes walk from my apartment. This is NOT a Japanese problem.
Whaling _can_ be sustainable, although I have too little intel on independent breed counts in Japanese waters. The fact that whaling never really stopped, makes me worried for how sustainable it would be now. Japan isn't usually quite as aggressive as for instance China, when it comes to draining natiral resources, China still has a strong tendency of draining it so badly that fisheries and other "renewable resources" dry up completely, not leaving a sustainable breed to replentish. Many vehemently oppose whaling, and that's understandable. What it has going for it compared to every other animal food resource, is that they live their life in their natural habitats, and a single specimen provides an enormous amount of food and other resources. None the less - *if* whaling is to be conducted, as with any other fishing and hunting, it's critical that we/they don't strip out the seas. It has to allow sustainability for the breed. Either way, unless the market should pick up significantly, whaling in Japan may very well die out by normal lack of demand.
There's some good evidence that small whale species like the Minke are out competing larger baleen whales because they eat the same food but have a faster reproductive cycle. It's not illogical to conclude that bringing down the Minke population will help endangered whale species.
Oh my God it's all coming together we've got number 45 mining coal and now Japan can provide us the whale oil for lanterns in those mines... just keeps getting better and better what a messed up world
You must light your house with candles. Or do you want more nuke reactors? Three mile island, Chernobyl, Fukashima nuke plants that went boom and that are still hot with radiation.
I don’t understand why it is prohibited. I understand that other countries stopped whaling because they were basically wasting whales. All they took from whales was oils and rest was thrown away. That is a waste of whales. I understand that. But what about japan? We use all parts of whales including their meat, bones and skins. Also, we are being thankful to the lives when we start eating them. Our culture is completely different to your cultures. You need to understand that before arguing to us with your empty brains. I don’t argue if the whales were endangered. But they aren’t. On the contrary, the number of whales is increasing, which could destroy the food chain. Even 9 year-old children can understand this problem. I really don’t understand why eating whales is not ok and eating beefs, pigs and chickens is ok.
Ironically, whales literally kill dolphins and seals and other whales for no reason sometimes, they kill them for fun, all animals can act disgracefully, stop trying to single out humans just because we are the superior species.
its terrible. so dumb of the older generation of japan. whale meat is nasty anyways. some of these old traditions should be let go for the greater good.
As a vegetarian this infuriates me, what's wrong with you people? You are not even a backwards country, you are rich and have a million options. Why do this? We should boycot the coming olympic games.
sports event has nothing to do with the environment also a few whalers does not mean the entire Japanese people, majority do not support nor care about whaling. Read the articles and learn before you blame the entire population responsible
@@GI876758 It is obvious most of the population doesn't participate, but it's their country and they can put pressure on this whaling companies/people. Boycotting things is one of the few ways normal everyday people can make some real changes.
And the entire Nation will suffer Collective Karma...think earthquakes, tsunamis, thousands dying...just because a minority still insists on eating whale meat...
Blast King yeah imagine a kid being born and dying from a tsunami. God: Ha! That kid totally deserved it because people he doesn’t even know did something bad!
Kam Delmonte Actually your correct I looked it up Apparently they sell the whale meat as a delicacy at outrages prices Japan caught as many as 1,200 whales a year. It drastically cut back its catch in recent years after international protests escalated and whale meat consumption slumped at home. In addition whale populations have declined significantly in the last few years
I'm from Japan and pescatarian. I do not promote whaling or anything and I don't eat whales but I find it so unfair that people define the importance of different animal's lives. Some people might find it so cruel to eat chicken and some people find it cruel to eat whales. I guess the point of the discussion should be lead in a different way. I reckon it is way more important for people to appreciate foods and make most of them rather than ignore the fact that we all waste so many foods nowadays in this world.
Chickens are domestic fowl. and bred solely for consumption, and egg production. Whales are wild, harmless, defenceless creatures that die in an inhumane way, and in excruciating agony. Hearing voices from Japan talking about tradition makes me laugh. Its like cultures who once practiced cannibalism deciding to eat people again, and using the same excuse.
Something is wrong with anyone who can't see that this is not good. Whales been washing up dead mysteriously on the west coast some ssy possibly from military operations. The earth is crying and the whole world is slowly dying primarily because of selfishness and greed. SO SAD TO L@@K
Phil - extinctions happen. Over 98% of any species that has ever lived is extinct. Fun fact about extinction is it’s almost always caused by another form of life pushing it out and killing it off. The balance always comes back by starving or natural disaster, disease etc. Earth ain’t going nowhere, it’s us that will extinct out. It’s the natural way of life. So relax and don’t get so worked up.
Roland - I don't agree with this 98% figure. I KNOW that it is impossible for the earth to die and man remain but all major life forms on this planet is slowly dying that is NOT speculation. Hopes, dreams, aspirations all fading with it too. I KNOW that the earth will replenish itself once the SUN remains shining it's been through that before several times. However life is life and while many may not believe that whales play an important role in the circle of life I am confident it's purpose may be more important than men will ever know....they say it's just a big fish SAD TO L@@K
I wish they'd stop whaling all together but if the oceans keeping getting more acidic the bottom of the food chain will die and the problem will go away along with most all of the animals. Hope you like jellyfish, folks!
I have a problem with this and I also don’t I believe animals should not be killed PERIOD. But if you eat one animal you must be able to eat the other... aren’t I correct?
Depends on how you see it. A fly is an animal that basically has no emotions, thoughts, or feelings. Yet a whale has all three. Some animal species are smarter than most toddlers, and yet we still kill them. Personally I have no problem killing the dumb animals, I just think the smarter ones deserve to be left alone.
Bobby Taylor Why would you kill an animal that may not be at the level “mentally” as you... would you kill a special need human? Some of them can barely look at you.
Maddux Vas If a person is only as smart as a mosquito, maybe they should be dead. Why kill an animal for food that’s smart and has feelings, when you can get meat from a snake, alligator, bugs, and fish. As humans we know that when we hunt/farm these animals were causing huge amounts of trauma to them. So why not be better people and avoid killing animals that have feelings?
As an American who is married to a Japanese citizen for over 23+yrs, I have traveled to Japan many times and have had the experience to eat several different types of Japanese food, some more strange than others by western standards, and yes even some whale meat. I can say that whale hunting has been part of the Japanese culture for centuries, just like the native peoples from the arctic circle regions that live in Alaska, Canada and other countries. The Japanese kill far fewer whales compared to other Asian countries as well others around the world, and they utilize almost all of the animals they harvest. Most westerners do not want to understand how important these traditions are to thier heritage. While people in the western countries feel very passionate about this issue, we also need to respect other cultures around the world, no matter how different we may feel about them. I'm very aware there are several other people that will feel very negitve and voice thier criticism with strong, and passionate feelings over this issue. Either way, we all need to treat each other with respect and dignity at all times no matter the issue, espically in this day and age with all the craziness we face on a daily basis all around us and abroad.
This isn't about eating whales, it is about hunting down an endangered species that is very slow to reproduce and is dwindling in numbers even without human intervention. This is why people are against it
@@InnerSilance let's not forget just how much of a history and responsibility we here in the USA have had in killing hundreds of thousands of whales and the many species over the last few centuries for what, burning thier oil just to have light at night before electricity? I think we here in the USA forget our part in the slaughter of these animals because now we realize we almost killed them off?? Just a thought to share..

@@seamc4231 interesting how the main focus in your comment is taste, and not the fact that endangered whales should NEVER EVER be hunted. Doesn't matter if they make your fu*king tastebuds explode. Wtf. smh
I'm also against eating pigs. They are very smart. We should do something.
Pigs are not endangered.
whales are wild
How much fish does a whale eat?
What is needed is a technology that allows people to experience the pain and suffering they inflict without actually being harmed. There is a great need for more empathy in the world today.
Why are so many people against the Japanese for this?
Many, I repeat...MANY countries have a commercial whaling industry. Why target Japan only?
I used to live in South Korea, there were two whale meat resturaunts within 5 minutes walk from my apartment.
This is NOT a Japanese problem.

Is sustainable whaling a pseudoscience?
God help the whales.
free willy
These wonderful people, they don't give a fuck about world opinion.
Whaling _can_ be sustainable, although I have too little intel on independent breed counts in Japanese waters. The fact that whaling never really stopped, makes me worried for how sustainable it would be now. Japan isn't usually quite as aggressive as for instance China, when it comes to draining natiral resources, China still has a strong tendency of draining it so badly that fisheries and other "renewable resources" dry up completely, not leaving a sustainable breed to replentish.
Many vehemently oppose whaling, and that's understandable. What it has going for it compared to every other animal food resource, is that they live their life in their natural habitats, and a single specimen provides an enormous amount of food and other resources. None the less - *if* whaling is to be conducted, as with any other fishing and hunting, it's critical that we/they don't strip out the seas. It has to allow sustainability for the breed.
Either way, unless the market should pick up significantly, whaling in Japan may very well die out by normal lack of demand.
There's some good evidence that small whale species like the Minke are out competing larger baleen whales because they eat the same food but have a faster reproductive cycle. It's not illogical to conclude that bringing down the Minke population will help endangered whale species.
😆😅😂🤣 What a load of bollocks!
Most of you people who're outraged are going to consume the flesh of an animal for dinner. Hypocrites.
Hit Japan with BIG TIME TARIFS !!!!!!
Tell me why eating cows and pigs is ok but whales are not good. Except for extinction, pity or such stupid reasons

You must light your house with candles. Or do you want more nuke reactors? Three mile island, Chernobyl, Fukashima nuke plants that went boom and that are still hot with radiation.
I don’t understand why it is prohibited.
I understand that other countries stopped whaling because they were basically wasting whales. All they took from whales was oils and rest was thrown away. That is a waste of whales. I understand that. But what about japan?
We use all parts of whales including their meat, bones and skins. Also, we are being thankful to the lives when we start eating them. Our culture is completely different to your cultures. You need to understand that before arguing to us with your empty brains.
I don’t argue if the whales were endangered. But they aren’t. On the contrary, the number of whales is increasing, which could destroy the food chain. Even 9 year-old children can understand this problem.
I really don’t understand why eating whales is not ok and eating beefs, pigs and chickens is ok.
Humans > whales
Yet another way humans act disgracefully on this beautiful planet!
In your theory, Killing pigs and cows is not disgraceful? Stupid
Ironically, whales literally kill dolphins and seals and other whales for no reason sometimes, they kill them for fun, all animals can act disgracefully, stop trying to single out humans just because we are the superior species.

@@GI876758 It is obvious most of the population doesn't participate, but it's their country and they can put pressure on this whaling companies/people. Boycotting things is one of the few ways normal everyday people can make some real changes.

This is totally INCORRECT
Sad in today’s day and age what the hell does japan get out of whaling
Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat food
Kam Delmonte
Actually your correct I looked it up
Apparently they sell the whale meat as a delicacy at outrages prices
Japan caught as many as 1,200 whales a year. It drastically cut back its catch in recent years after international protests escalated and whale meat consumption slumped at home. In addition whale populations have declined significantly in the last few years
Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat yes, very expensive. I guess money is whats driving them not “culture”.
There are too many whales in ocean. We need to eat them
They know we won’t get too mad at them because we love there anime
I hate anime!!
I'm from Japan and pescatarian. I do not promote whaling or anything and I don't eat whales but I find it so unfair that people define the importance of different animal's lives. Some people might find it so cruel to eat chicken and some people find it cruel to eat whales. I guess the point of the discussion should be lead in a different way. I reckon it is way more important for people to appreciate foods and make most of them rather than ignore the fact that we all waste so many foods nowadays in this world.
Chickens are domestic fowl. and bred solely for consumption, and egg production. Whales are wild, harmless, defenceless creatures that die in an inhumane way, and in excruciating agony. Hearing voices from Japan talking about tradition makes me laugh. Its like cultures who once practiced cannibalism deciding to eat people again, and using the same excuse.
Something is wrong with anyone who can't see that this is not good.
Whales been washing up dead mysteriously on the west coast some ssy possibly from military operations.
The earth is crying and the whole world is slowly dying primarily because of selfishness and greed.

Phil - extinctions happen.
Over 98% of any species that has ever lived is extinct. Fun fact about extinction is it’s almost always caused by another form of life pushing it out and killing it off. The balance always comes back by starving or natural disaster, disease etc.
Earth ain’t going nowhere, it’s us that will extinct out. It’s the natural way of life. So relax and don’t get so worked up.
Roland - I don't agree with this 98% figure.
I KNOW that it is impossible for the earth to die and man remain but all major life forms on this planet is slowly dying that is NOT speculation. Hopes, dreams, aspirations all fading with it too.
I KNOW that the earth will replenish itself once the SUN remains shining it's been through that before several times.
However life is life and while many may not believe that whales play an important role in the circle of life I am confident it's purpose may be more important than men will ever know....they say it's just a big fish
SAD TO L@@K

RUclips 平成ゆうた Hiranari Yuta Yeah? You kill the MOST!
I have a problem with this and I also don’t I believe animals should not be killed PERIOD. But if you eat one animal you must be able to eat the other... aren’t I correct?
I don’t agree with whaling but I also don’t agree with people that put the lives of animals before humans.
Depends on how you see it. A fly is an animal that basically has no emotions, thoughts, or feelings. Yet a whale has all three. Some animal species are smarter than most toddlers, and yet we still kill them. Personally I have no problem killing the dumb animals, I just think the smarter ones deserve to be left alone.
Bobby Taylor Why would you kill an animal that may not be at the level “mentally” as you... would you kill a special need human? Some of them can barely look at you.
Maddux Vas If a person is only as smart as a mosquito, maybe they should be dead. Why kill an animal for food that’s smart and has feelings, when you can get meat from a snake, alligator, bugs, and fish. As humans we know that when we hunt/farm these animals were causing huge amounts of trauma to them. So why not be better people and avoid killing animals that have feelings?
Well done Japan! Don't stop whaling
By the example America has set under Trump we don't have to care about anything or abide by international treaties... it's a free for all
Hara-kiri used to be a part of their culture as well. Maybe they should resume it.
Didn't trump meet the Prince of whales 😂😂😂
I believe animals of high intelligence should be preserved such as dolphins and apes.

As an American who is married to a Japanese citizen for over 23+yrs, I have traveled to Japan many times and have had the experience to eat several different types of Japanese food, some more strange than others by western standards, and yes even some whale meat.
I can say that whale hunting has been part of the Japanese culture for centuries, just like the native peoples from the arctic circle regions that live in Alaska, Canada and other countries. The Japanese kill far fewer whales compared to other Asian countries as well others around the world, and they utilize almost all of the animals they harvest.
Most westerners do not want to understand how important these traditions are to thier heritage. While people in the western countries feel very passionate about this issue, we also need to respect other cultures around the world, no matter how different we may feel about them. I'm very aware there are several other people that will feel very negitve and voice thier criticism with strong, and passionate feelings over this issue. Either way, we all need to treat each other with respect and dignity at all times no matter the issue, espically in this day and age with all the craziness we face on a daily basis all around us and abroad.
This isn't about eating whales, it is about hunting down an endangered species that is very slow to reproduce and is dwindling in numbers even without human intervention. This is why people are against it
Respect and coexistence.
Great comment!!
@@InnerSilance let's not forget just how much of a history and responsibility we here in the USA have had in killing hundreds of thousands of whales and the many species over the last few centuries for what, burning thier oil just to have light at night before electricity?
