no guilt what so ever. whale is yummy.

saturday morning in bed, i turned tv on. and something made me

one morning show (somewhat similar to Regis and Kelly type show) was introducing a recipe with a canned food. a whale meatloaf in a can. wtf. "wooo, that looks so good. i wanna try!" a guy who was on that program said.

i've seen infomarcial for whale meat. there is no sense of what it means to be whale eater here in japan. a tv personnel can make a comment like "mmmm looks yum!" about whale meat on public tv, you'd have an idea of how whaling is seen here in japan.

in january 2010, a ship of sea shepherd and japanese "research" whaling ship collided. i thought this news would raise awareness among japanese on how the rest of world see whaling is. the result was... the captain and the organization is portrayed as terrorist like anarchistic group.

unreasonable things often go through in this country because "it's our culture."
that stubborn ideology closes many doors for japan.
