Yeah, I'm not a fan of whaling. I'm right in saying that whales aren't harvested for farming, right? That's where it's different to eating cows.
While some questions are raised about how humane killing cows, chickens, sheep etc is, killing a whale is nearly always a slow and inhumane process, just because of the size of the animal.
Obviously, they should not be killing endangered species. If cows were endangered, I'd say the same thing. Whether or not they are killing endangered species of whale is something I don't know about.
Until they find a more humane and less painful way to kill the whales, it shouldn't happen at all. Personally, I think it shouldn't happen at all really. It's not profitable for Japan, and kind of pointless.
Japan isn't perfect. I don't have to like everything about Japan, like a lot of narrow-minded people on this forum seem to think. Sometimes if people get a whiff of Japan critism, they go mad. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, this is basic stuff.
