“This is an appalling step backwards and the latest desperate effort by the Government of Japan to stimulate an almost non-existent consumer demand for whale meat in Japan,”

Probably started by some filthy rich snobs in the Japanese Government.

Japan Kills First Protected Fin Whale After Controversial New Quota

Japan has confirmed it has killed its first fin whale in over a decade. A male fin whale, measuring 19.6 meters (64 feet) long and weighing 55 tonnes, was recently caught off the coast of Iwate Prefecture by the whaling company Kyodo Senpaku, according to OceanCare.

The catch comes after a controversial decision in May 2024 when fin whales were added to the list of species that can be caught in Japan’s exclusive economic zone. The country’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries announced that they would allow the hunting of 59 fin whales, along with its existing quotas for minke whales, Bryde’s whales, and sei whales.
