Is whaling legal in Japan?
Japan is the country most prominently involved in whaling. Japan
has led an active pro-whaling movement ever since whaling was
banned in 1986. Consequently it has gained the support of many
other countries such as Iceland and China, but it has also promised
financial aid to small, poorer nations of Africa, the Caribbean,
and the Pacific countries if they support it in the International
Whaling Commission.
