Japan has slaughtered over 6,000 whales since commercial whaling was banned in 1986. The meat and other products obtained from this 'research' is sold as before.
Over 400 different whales are hunted each year due to whaling.
Because many animals, including whales, can sense when there's about to be an earthquake, so the whales all left Japanese waters.
Not all whaling is Japanese whaling. They get the most fame because they kill many whale (almost 1000 in the southern ocean every year, along with hundreds off their coast). Norway, Iceland, and some aboriginal tribes also kill whales, but not as many as Japan.
Many people believe that JAPAN hunts the most whales.
It varies by the decade you are on about. Especially when it comes to whaling For whaling alone about 20,000 whales are hunted each decade. If you include boat accidents involving whales and whales dying in captivity then that number increases to around around 200,000 in a decade.
Advantages- · Provides plenty of food to many people and communities, · The whole whale is used, none wasted. · Gives many people jobs in the whaling industries and also in charities preventing whaling. · Whale meat sells for a lot of money. · Some scientific research is carried out through Whaling although we can't be sure how much of it actually is. Hope this helps!:D

the Japanese killed to many whales so god punished them, idiots
It isn't. Whaling in Japan exists purely for selfish reasons, such as luxury whale meat in top restaurants. Whaling is illegal by international law. So Japan are breaking the law. Iceland is also a whaling country. When Iceland made an application to join the European Union, they were rejected, purely because they allow whaling and Europe doesn't want to be associated with such illegal activity. Dozens of species of whales are on the brink of extinction because of whalers. There are many organisations trying to protect whales from Japanese whalers, such as Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace - who often attack Japanese whaling ships with smoke bombs, paint grenades and water cannons. The government of Chile even threatened to sink the Japanese whaling ships if they came near Chilean waters.
Not many. Hunting by humans is the biggest threat to gray whales. Gray Whales have been hunted since the 16th century. Humans have been whaling gray whale species for over 4 decades now. This hunting has significantly reduced the gray whale populations. The north atlantic population of gray whales were totally wiped out due to whaling even before the 19th century. Around 1950, governments worldwide declared the gray whale as an endangered species and banned whaling them
Japan kill whales dolphins for money. They sell it to the markets because Japanese people eat dolphins.
