When it comes to a matter of ethics, it can be said that hunting a whale is no different from butchering a cow. Many who argue against commercial whaling in Japan, end up resorting to emotional anthropomorphism to win over their audience. However, there are much more realistic reasons why Japans whaling crusade must be, at the very least, heavily inhibited by proper international law. Whaling was banned in 1986, and although many other countries still participate in the act, none come close to Japan’s immense scale. Japan argues that whaling is an irreplaceable part of their culture and that the primary reason for their large catches is to have a scientifically acceptable sample size in research ("History of whaling". Japan Whaling Association). However, their reasons are not only flawed, but downright lies. This essay will refute the arguments that Japan uses to justify their whaling rights, and will go further and highlight the reasons why Japan so adamantly pursues this uneconomical and ecologically harmful act.
