That is strange opinion. Animals do not know what country they live.
And they cannot choose their country.
Kangaloos must die because they live in Australia?
Your opinion is just as much as based on western culture.

You've missed the point.
-Australia is under the jurisdiction of the Australian government and laws.
-However, the open sea belongs to no country. Therefore the open sea and it's ecology must be protected via International consensus and challenging Japanese ships in open waters is fine to a certain extent.
-Japan goes against International consensus concerning whaling.
-Commercial whaling pushed certain species of whale close to extinction therefore if commercial whaling were to resume, they would once again become endangered.

I know, once upon a time, western people were best whaler in the world.
Because they needed lamp oil. They quit whaling because they got new easy oil from underground, not because of whale.

I don't know where you got this idea from. Whaling was outlawed in the 20th century because they were endangered.
