Whaling controversy
Whaling controversy
The points at issue of a ban on whalingAt present whaling is almost completely banned. The reasons why Japan insists on restarting whaling are follows;*In Japan, whale meat has been eaten from ancient times and made use of on the living and cultural side.*It is unreasonable that Japanese culture is denied by other countries.*Whale resource doesn't dry up but increases too much because of overprotection.*It is a problem that political pressure from environmental protection groups with very emotional activity activities destroy s the ecosystem on earth.Japan doesnt want to make whales extinct nor insist to eat meats of near extinct animals. Japan just insists to resume to fish animals which prenty resource has been already confirmed. Now by protecting only whale which position in the ecosystem in the sea is highest, it is getting more and more getting damaged.2.International conference which passes unreasonable opinions by majority voteIn general meetings of IWC, reasonable measures are not adopted and unreasonable measures without scientific grounds are rammed by majority vote. It is haphazard, far from a true "international conference". It is governed by emotional , dogmatic and arbitrary opinions so much that logical, scientific and objective opinion doesnt hold true.Japan hasnt insisted on fishing near extinct species of about 80 kinds of whales. Minke whale, 760000 of them exist in Antarctic Ocean, has increased too much, comparing to the number of them before IWC began the control of whaling. IWC has acceted. Although Japan has insisted on fishing such species of whales, the opinion has not been accepted.Japan's conciliatory demand to fish only 50 heads along the Japanese shore has been rejected for 12 consecutive 12 years . Although Japan's insistence are logical on scientific grounds, England,US and Australia,all of which are strong anti-whaling countries, cant refute logically and instead demands demand adoptation and push through by the majority vote the same way. On the background, the countries, which have not been related to using whale resources, have been let participate in IWC by the anti-whaling countries ,which have tried to increase the number of anti-whaling countries in IWC.3.Anti-whaling campaign is made use of for political show by western countries which have doctorinate environmental protection policy.This is not just an issue of environmental protection. It is hidden in the name of environmental protection that the number of whales has increased very much. We would rather fish them. If we eat other fishes fish but dont eat whales, the ecosystem in the sea is will be getting destroyed more and more.It is the reason why the western environmental protection groups has have clung to the anti-whaling that anti-whaling is very important for their fund raising. The issues such as discarde of carbon dioxide or stopping the desertification are not supported by US which is one of economical leaders. But people contribute good money to anti-whaling campaigns, saying "whales are poor, why are they are eaten". Moreover only Japanese and Norwegian like to eat whale meat, so it is easy to criticize them. In short, whale is a symbol of western environmental groups for fund raising.In western countries, the politicians are highly regarded as a " pro-environmental politician", who struggle environmental problems such as smoke from factories, polluted water or acid rain and who come out with a measure for them or just talk about the controls or oppositions against them. And that raises their caliber and ties with their vote. It surely is the doctrinate for environmental protection. Certainly it is not wrong that the environmental issues are taken very seriously But based on the extream pro-environmental protectinonism, they find faults with cultures that they cant understand or that they dont need and they look down upon them as being uncivilized. And they always shut their eyes to their own environmental destruction for their development and they push down the suppression and regulation on countries, based on their principle of warped protection of wild animals and environmental protection. 4.It is double-dealing that US ban whaling against Japan but accept it to AmericanUK and US head the list of anti-whaling countries. But in the history of whaling for half a century, US had been whaling until 1960s and top whaling country. They wanted whale oil which doesnt freeze and they had discarded whale meat. But since chemically derived oil was invented, they hasnt neededhavent been needing whaling because they dont have them. Since then, US has become an anti-whaling country abruptly. And pro-environmental protection groups made used of American people's specially intense feeling for whales in order to push forward and in the result US changed their attitude into becoming a complete anti-whaling country.But it is their double-dealing that in US Inuits have kept whaling all the time. They have kept fishing arctic whales that only 7000 heads exist in the world. US government allows them to fish 60 heads of them a year. US people have eaten 1900 ton of whales a year. Inadvertently US is the top whaling country, although they are against whaling.If US really concerns about whale resource, US should raise questions against their own fishing of arctic whales instead of criticizing Japan's investigative whaling in which only 10 heads are captured from 100000 heads of whales. It is a fault of US that it tries to make sanctions, based on its domestic law, against Japan's investigative whaling of whale species out of resourceful problem.Additionally US has been killing many wild animals. At present US is culling 5600000 heads of deer a year. Australia is culling 2-3000000 heads of kangaroo a year for food and eat them. It is unreasonable of them to criticize fishing whales which increase too much.5. Whales has increasedThe whales which especially has have increased is are minke whales that 760000 heads of them are recognized only in the Antactic Ocean. The number is considered that culling 2000 heads a year doesnt give bad effects on its resource. Although human beings has have eaten up 90000000 tons of fishes fish a year, whale species is have been caliculated to have eaten up 520000000 tons of fishes fish a year, 5 times as much as one which human being has eaten up. By protecting only whales, they keep destroying the ecosystem in the sea irreparablly.Originally whales are bigger than other fishes fish and are located on the top of the food chain. It is natural that the number of animals which is on the top of the food chain is small. Systematic whaling doesnt jeopardize the ecosystem, but the ban of whaling resulted in the unnatural increase of some whale species on the top of the food chain in the sea. And inverse-propotional to its multiplying, small size fishes fish which are eaten by whales increased and it the result big size fishes and whales increased.6.We should make sure the principles to live with whales beyond nations and cultures.IWC is responsible for leaving whales as a common property among human being. it has to protect whales such as blue whales which is on the brink of extinction,but permit to fish whales such as mink whales which is recongized to have increase a lot. Because of resource restoration, anti-whaling has lost its role as a symbol of environmental protection. The arrogance to deny other countries' food culture is not permitted .In the future when world population will increase, food resource in the antarctic sea including whales has a possibility to become an precious food resource common among human being. Japan is in the forefront of fishing and investigating technology and can contribute to the research of oceanic biology. Coexisting with other cultures and whales is the starting point of the whale problem.
