Japanese whale whoppers

In the last few months, Japan has come under ever increasing criticism over its ‘scientific’ whale hunts, with Australia in particular condemning the culls. However, while it is difficult to condone the killing of such incredible cetaceans, it simply cannot be said that the Japanese don’t take their research seriously, with very little of the mammals left untast untested.

And while critics claim that the results from non-lethal techniques could prove to be equally as productive, proponents opine they would be far less palatable.
