Is it more inhumane or savage to slaughter other animals for food? According to the IWC there is no scientific reason not to allow controlled whaling as numbers are up.

You can say that, but I want you to know catching whales has long history and tradition in some regions such as Shizuoka, Wakayama, and so on.

I have tried whale meat in a sushi restraunt 10 years ago with my parents. Like you said, they liked "nostalgic taste", but actually I didi not like it. Honestly, "toro" is much better.

"History" "tradition" doing the same old same old thing repeatedly does not give it credibility but the Japanese seem to think so.

Just begin to think a little

The Japanese will hunt a species to extinction for the sake of the nostalgic taste. The massive whale is an easy target for the media but the Japanese are overfishing and depleting natural resources everywhere!
