I'm so over this issue.
The Japanese government continues to fund this dead industry why?
Are they stupid?
The country is in debt...
Recent tsunami and earthquakes have destroyed a lot of it...
The whaling industry runs at a LOSS and does nothing but provoke international condemnation...
Japan's goal is the return of commercial whaling but as we saw in the mid twentieth century... it can only end up bad for the environment.
Also.. to those that are FOR Japanese whaling... Do you trust big corporations with the environment? Because that's what you're permitting.
As I mentioned earlier... Japanese whaling runs at a loss and depends on government funding.
The incentive to overhunt is clear.
You see how Wall Street reacts to incentive with the financial crisis and US economic recession.
You see how BP reacts to incentive when it cuts corners on safety regulations.
If commercial whaling is reinstated you will see the Japanese whaling industry react to the incentive to turn a profit (business 101).
Naturally this means overhunting.
