Ideologia IV
"Japan has staunchly defended its annual killing of more than 1,000 whales, conducted under a clause in International Whaling Commission rules that allows killing for scientific purposes. It says that whaling is part of Japanese culture and accuses Western countries of insensitivity. Australia and other critics dismiss the Japanese programme as a disguise for commercial whaling, which is banned, and claim that whale meat ends up in supermarkets and restaurants."
"Scientists in Japan claim that their country's controversial whaling programme, which has killed thousands of minke whales since the late 1980s, has established that the animals have lost significant amounts of blubber. Measurements taken from more than 4,500 slaughtered minkes show they are getting thinner at a worrying speed, the researchers say. The team from the Institute of Cetacean Research in Tokyo, set up to analyse the results of the scientific whaling programme, says its study offers the first evidence that global warming could be harming whales, because it restricts food supplies. They say the discovery could only have been made by killing the animals."
