95% of Japanese rarely or never eat whale.
for good reason; i tried it in japan, its pretty gamey and tough.
Japanese eat between 4000 and 5000 tons annually, only one ounce per person per YEAR on average, and the country throws away 3500 to 4000 tons per year, about 40%.of all harvested whale meat
I remember on QI, Jeremy Clarkson said he ordered whale in a restaurant in Iceland and they asked him if he wanted grated puffin on it.
What the fuck is up with the Japanese and whaling? Do they eat that much whale meat? Or what?
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi, whose electoral district is traditionally known for whaling, said Thursday the government supports sustainable use of whales as part of Japan’s traditional food culture and plans to promote the industry.
“Whales are an important food resource and we believe they should be sustainably utilized just like any other marine resources, based on scientific evidence,” Hayashi told reporters. “It is also important to carry on Japan’s traditional food culture.”
I think Cabinet Secretaries are an important food resource that should be sustainably utilized.
How about…. No.
The whale in the picture is at the natural history museum in Ueno. It’s a really nice place to visit if you’re ever in Tokyo and you can see taxidermied Hachiko ( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀)
Those savages
Anyway, who’s up for eating a bucket with the wings of 30 chickens that were killed in the same box they were born in
I’m up for it but only if it’s a threatened species of wild chicken

I don’t eat meat, but I really don’t understand how people like you expect to insult people into not eating meat.
Have you ever been insulted into doing something other people want you to do? I sure haven’t.
You can eat meat, just don’t be a hypocrite about it and pretend you’re better than other people eating meat because your meat lives in pain neck deep in their own shit before you kill it
Cool, so anyone who eats meat should be totally ok with eating whales. Thanks for clarifying that, we’ll stop trying to get people to stop eating whales now thanks to your advice.
The options are either that or not eating meat while continuing to try to stop people from eating whales. I support you in whichever you pick.
I really do not understand your “people can be as cruel to animals as they want as long as they aren’t hypocrites” position.
This is called a “false choice,” or “false dilemma”
The irony is lost on most people but in a lot of ways you are correct. I eat meat, I rather wouldn’t but dietarily it works well with me, but to say cow’s are more worthy of killing and eating than a whale is a preposterous thought.
Sounds like you don’t care about animal cruelty either, in that case. As long as you aren’t participating in it.
Seems to me like trying to convince other people not to do it rather than insulting them might be a better use of your time.

Plenty of others have put a lot of effort into convincing people to stop eating meat with a decent amount of success. Do you have some sort of condition preventing you from doing the same? I doubt it.
Again, it seems to me like you have no issues with animal cruelty, just hypocrisy.
