Hunting Of Whales in japan

The whales, one of the species of underwater that are decreasing in number and are killed in great numbers in Japan.The Japanese oppose strongly against the ban of hunting whales.The Japanese say that they hunt the harmless mammal for scientific purposes but the hunted whales are used for different purposes.Can you believe that the Japanese are consuming 'Whale meat' and it has become a item in the menu of big hotels.The Japanese kill nearly 400 whales every year.

The Japanese depend on the sea food heavily and argue that the whales are no exceptions and ban on hunting whales must be lifted.Japan has asked for inclusion of fin whales and Humpback whales to the hunting list that includes Minkle whales.The trend if continues will surely lead to the extinction of the species.
