I am for practical conservationism. It has to be realistic. I don't really care about animal rights beyond unnecessary torture and cruelty.
I come from Nagasaki were whaling been a way of life for centuries. for me, number one its a cultural right. Whale meat is delicious.
Saying that, its not Japan's right to take whales out of international waters. I would like to see that stopped if any is going on. Within coastal waters, Japan should do research on the number of whales it can crop and maintain a healthy breeding population. Also, whale breeding/farming industry should be looked into. agreements must be reached with certain countries about the large migratory species.
