What posesses the Chinees (I was being polite there) to hunt Whales, it was proven years ago that anything a Whale can provide can be artificially manufactured, personally I think it%26#039;s barbaric and I know it%26#039;s not just the Chineese, I seem to remember something about the Norwegians doing the same, some people are hell bent on destroying everything on this plannet, I intend to write to the embassy%26#039;s and let them know my feelings.

Ah Jim (top contributor he). So you think the word Jap is insulting and biggoted, you need to spend less time on here and more time mixing with real people in the flesh so to speak, the word Jap is nothing more than an abbreviation as is the word Brit as our Aussie friends use when talking about us, before you attack peoples views, have the understanding that to have an oppinion is not being bigotry, to attack an oppinion just for the sake of airing your own views is, and just perhaps the whales are on the verge of extinction because the Japs have been slaughtering them for 1000s of years, as a %26quot;biologist%26quot; you should know that the reproductive cycle of the whale is slow and any interference can and has history has proved be devastating. I thank you for your views it has shown to the younger element of answers that even %26quot;top contributors%26quot; sometimes don%26#039;t know what they%26#039;re talking about, they just rant about anything to get the points.

It is the JAPANESE and they are barbaric! there are piles of whale meat stock piled and what scientific research do they think we think they are up to,this is a big sham and a cover up for commercial whaling and its disgusting.I adore whales and they are beautiful gentle harmless creatures JAPANESE TAKE NOTE GET OUT OF THAT WATER NOW!!!I would like to ask conservationists of the world to unite BOYCOTT JAPANESE PRODUCTS AS A MARK OF PROTEST!! and end this barbaric disgusting practice a so called cultured people behaving like savages.Whales have strong family bonds there is NO DEED WHATSOEVER FOR THIS.
everyone in the world unite and protest about this as every voice counts in putting a stop to this needless animal cruelty to a beautiful animal that has lived for hundreds of years and been percsecuted by man for no reason.
In our time we should be proteccting them not killing them.
THE JAPANESE ARE A DISGRACE!

The things that are produced from whales are not as cheaply produced artificially, but that is obvious. The odd thing to me is that the Whales receive more sympathy than Christians whom are being persecuted. In order to answer the question that you have asked, I believe you must first understand the Government of China. You need to understand what factors effect the decisions of Chinese leaders.

It%26#039;s the Japanese, and they eat all kinds of seafood, including whales.
it would be better if the killed and ate cows, and sheep, but Japanese prefer seafood.
lucky that they don%26#039;t like to eat primates, Chimpanzees for example, as is common in central Africa. -
callus and stupid? greed?
Do write, and write to your representatives in your country too and tell them you want them to put pressure on them to stop! Bad enough they are dumping toxic lead levels in toys, they are in a vulnerable position now and need to make a better impression on the world.

If the following article is accurate it appears that the USA through actions after WWII initiated the conditions for Japan%26#039;s lust for whales
%26quot;RELATIONS between Australia and its close ally Japan are being threatened by an expansion of Japanese whaling operations that has more to do with US general Douglas MacArthur than any deep-rooted Japanese desire to eat whales.
It was General MacArthur, as military governor of Japan in 1945, who revived the practice of large-scale whaling to feed millions of Japanese who were on the verge of starvation after World War II.
It%26#039;s a fact that a small minority of Japanese have dined on whale meat over many centuries. Most of them lived in isolated coastal communities and obtained their whales %26quot;passively%26quot; — when they were driven ashore by whale sharks — or by surrounding them in a mass of small boats and spearing them to death.
Ancient Japan was never a builder of large ships and deep-water whaling was only introduced there in the 19th century as Japan emerged from a long period of self-imposed seclusion. The operation set up by Japan with considerable Norwegian help was mainly after a rich harvest of whale oil. The industry collapsed with World War II.%26quot;
Looking for a food stock for a nation used to eating fish, General MacArthur restored the deep-water whaling operation: the Japanese got the meat and the US got millions of dollars worth of oil.%26quot;
