Results not validated by the international scientific community
From the creation of this program, Japan forever published the results of its research. Within sight of the weakness of its arguments, those are not validated by the international scientific community. Per hour when not invasive techniques known as make it possible to carry out a great number of tests by only blood sample, it is difficult to defend this thesis. Indeed, a simple biopsy allows several analyses of which that of the 'DNA. It makes it possible to answer many questions about the food, the genetics of the populations and the reproduction, without condemning the animal. An obvious paradox for a country with the avant-garde of new technologies.
Nonguilty whales…
Japan puts the importance also ahead to control the number of whales in order to preserve fish stocks in the ocean. This argument is quite as unfounded because the majority of the driven out whales are with pennon (mysticètes) and thus nourish only microscopic animals like the krill. Surpêche and pollution remain the only explanations to the reduction in the fish populations…
Thousands of victims
In the name of science, more than 2.000 whales are killed each year. Out of 1987 to 2005,6 800 whales of Minke (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) were killed under this pretext and were marketed. The common rorquals (Balaenoptera physalus), boréals (Balaenoptera borealis) also are driven out per hundreds every year according to quotas fixed by the countries hunters, without dialogue with the scientific institutions. The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeanglia) benefits since 2007 from a respite, Japan having voted a prohibition of hunting for this species.
A denounced cruelty
Thanks to the work of associations like Greenpeace, of the images of hunting for the whale could make the round the world tour to denounce the cruelty of the act. Vidéos turned during these programs show that more than 80% of the whales are not killed instantaneously after being harpooned. Still alive during winching on the ships, they endure abominable sufferings which, once on board, can be still prolonged during more than one half an hour.
