Why is whaling important for Japan?

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.


How many whales have been killed since whaling was banned?

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
