To be honest I won't say I support it, just because I dislike the killing of animals in general (unless it's say something like fox-hunting, where foxes do a considerable ammount of damage). I think in a way it's cruel, and a shame as whales are endangered, but at the same time - logically speaking - what reason do they have to stop hunting?
I mean logically if you stop hunting one animal then you could argue we should stop hunting all animals, and then that we shouldn't kill any animals, even for food . . . to me it's a rather tenuous argument, plus I dislike when other cultures/countries judge Japan for whale-hunting. England has fox-hunting, Spain has bull-fighting . . . we need to look at ourselves before we criticise others.
Out of curiousity, what is your position on the matter? Clearly it's important to you in order to raise the issue, but you seem to have left out your own opinion
