Japanese whaling fleet

[Russ T Hinge]

Japan abandoned commercial whaling in 1986 after agreeing to a global moratorium; but international rules allow it to continue hunting under the auspices of a research programme.

Conservationists say the whaling is a cover for the sale and consumption of whale meat. Current Japanese programmes aim for a total catch of more than 1,000 whales per year.



Apart from the fact that I think it is disgusting................with regard to the above Quote.............

Are more than 1,000 whales born each year ! and how long does it take a Whale to become fertile ?........the japs have already wiped out the large whales and now target the smaller ones.
