It's like saying that beating women in Muslim societies is traditionally acceptable in many Islamic societies so we should allow Muslim immigrants to beat their wives.


The hunting of bowhead whales via traditional means in US waters only is sustainable. And it's NOT for commercial use.
>via traditional means
This is bloodier way than advanced whaling.

You have not proved that bowhead whales are safe.
They might exist only under 10,000. USA hunts them over 50 every year.
Is it safe? I do not think so.

As for Islamic society.
Your opinion indicates typical behavior of western people. That is dogmatic, self-righteous, and pragmatic.
You can give them some suggestion, but you must not force them to hold by your opinion.
Immigrants live in your territory, we are discussing on Japanese territory and international sea.
