The USA introduced the whale culture into Japan after WWII. It is time Japan end it as an invasive culture.

Baleen whales are vitally important to ending the carbon pollution problem. They eat algae and plankton that remain in their bellies, muscle, blubber and babies forever. When a baleen whale dies naturally, they fall to the bottom of the ocean and the carbon dioxide they ate in their lifetimes remain sequestered in the depths of the oceans forever.

We lost the corals, we need to expand the populations of baleen whales in the oceans.

Every Christmas, (click here) sailors from Japan go out into the Southern Ocean, taking "biological sampling" that aims to investigate "the structure and dynamics of the Antarctic marine ecosystem".

But no, they aren't trying to understand more about climate change, or investigating the mating songs of the ocean. They're out killing hundreds of Antarctic minke whales, and then letting the flesh be sold in markets and restaurants.

The latest figures have been released from meeting papers by the International Whaling Commission's scientific committee earlier this month.

According to those figures, 333 minke whales were killed in the 2017/2018 summer season in Australia. Of those, 122 were pregnant, and 114 were immature, meaning they were not yet able to breed.

The researchers wrote that killing the whales is necessary, as "age information can be obtained only from internal earplugs and therefore only through lethal sampling methods."

However, most researchers do not agree witBut no, they aren't trying to understand more about climate change, or investigating the mating songs of the ocean. They're out killing hundreds of Antarctic minke whales, and then letting the flesh be sold in markets and restaurants.

However, most researchers do not agree with this, as you can estimate the age of a whale by comparing its size to other whales that you know the age of.

The claims that whales need to be killed 'for science' have been debunked many times.h this, as you can estimate the age of a whale by comparing its size to other whales that you know the age of.
