dont get it myself but each to their own i guess.
japan's new fisheries minister has vowed that his country will never stop hunting whales, comparing eating the ocean-going giants to Australians' consumption of kangaroos.
In an interview with the AFP news agency, Yoshimasa Hayashi said criticism of the practice is "a cultural attack, a kind of prejudice against Japanese culture".
Japan's so-called scientific whaling program has been criticised by other nations, including Australia, and the country's whaling fleet is currently clashing with Sea Shepherd activists in the Southern Ocean.
Japan says it needs to kill whales for research reasons, but Mr Hayashi did not make any mention of the scientific rationale behind the program during the AFP interview.
Instead, he said that eating whale meat was an integral part of Japanese culture, and pleaded for other nations to respect Japanese tradition.

it is genuinely scientific. They survey each whale they capture recording length, age, mass etc.
In fact, to find out how heavy each whale is, they take it to a whale-weigh station.
