Japan's new whaling mother ship arrived in Tokyo on May 23, 2024, ahead of its maiden hunting expedition off the nation’s northeast coast. The Kangei Maru will process and store whales caught by a fleet of smaller vessels. Japan's first domestically produced mother ship in over 70 years has faced a wave of criticism. Animal rights activists say that since whales live for a long time and reproduce slowly, they are not sustainable as a food source.

Whales are pretty majestic. Should spare them. The size of these creatures... this species of whales will eventually become extinct. 100 year contract? jeez.
Meanwhile in Norway, whale hunting just as usual.
Faroe Islands
Well if we reduced the population in china,and India by more than half we could reduce food consumption by almost 40-50 percent world wide.
@@Alejandra-cv7rj Why only those countries - meat consumption is especially high in developed countries which takes a lot of resources to maintain?
@@Alejandra-cv7rjmy dude india and china don't hunt and eat whales
One of the few things I absolutely hate about Japan
Do u hate Norway too
@@vanlin9107I do now. 😤
There a lot of things you can hate and love about Japan. Another one is their shrines for war criminals and the cruelty and savagery they displayed during their reign of terror across SEA.
Japan is doing ocean research most minutely in the world.
In fact, the whale population is increasing, while some fish and crustacean species are decreasing due to the increasing whale population.
Japan determines the whaling amount based on research data.
And the whaling amount of Japan is smaller than those of Norway, Korea, etc. (Korea is saying that 2000 whales are catched per year by unintentional bycatch)
If you want to criticize Japan, you must show scientific data, and you should criticize all of other countries killing wild animals.
I am no economy professor but a fishing ship should boost SUPPLY not demand
Demand as in making people interested in it again
increased supply -> lower prices -> maybe higher demand? idk
No wonder why they are considered as endangered species. SHAME
The more people there are,the more food we need to eat
@@TemilianThere's no reason whatsoever to eat whales.
@@ultraman6950 Whale blubber provided energy and vitamins A, C and D, and whale meat is rich in niacin, iron and protein [source: Tevuk]. Every part of the mammal was eaten or used to light lamps and make tools and sleds. Consuming whale meat has also been woven into Japan's history and culture.So it's only japanese people who eat whale meat.
@@TemilianIt is true, that it was important part of diet in the past, it doesn't make it important now and in the future. Certainly not so much important, to be building whole whaling fleet with "whale destroyer" as mother ship.
@@universeslap I still don't understand Japan's decision
This is a disgusting story.
It has taken decades to bring some species back from near extinction.
And now Japan wants to go back to the past ... truly unforgivable.
also thier atrocities was disgusting. remember Nanking!!
@@cggjkk no
@@cggjkk... And even Bataan.
@@lordsussyindustries2021
Bataan is not comparison with Nanking but yes
Whale is mammal productive rate is low compare with others seafood .. please give whale a chance to live
That kind of size is not meant to be caught and eaten by humans. Leave them alone
More bigger the size, the more it will feed the population. No difference from cows, chicken and pigs.
@@jinlee2617 Japan has no shortage of cows, chickens, goats, sheep or pigs. They are just hunting whales to feed their greedy gourmet appetite
@@jinlee2617 You can mass-reproduce cows, chickens, and pigs, but how would you go about mass reproducing whales?
Your claim makes no sense at all. Size is important, the larger the creature, the more it could provide to sustain life. Take one life to feed large quantities of human, or take dozens of life to feed the same exact quantity of humans on the single life one? This is nature, you can observe it in the wild, animals will hunt larger organisms to feed many.
@@aldenteh9412 Reproducing whales is much harder and slower than raising cows, chickens, and pigs. Whales reproduce slowly and are vital for ocean ecosystems. Livestock breeds quickly and can be sustainably managed on farms. It's more practical and sustainable to rely on livestock for food instead of hunting whales.
2040: The Whale Extinct...
People before:
Ahh... Japan and its continuous effort into making sure some ocean fish go extinct.
Right, when the population of China is ten times the population of Japan and has ten times as many fishing boats as Japan.
@@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623 yeah, we can call out countries who overfish and / or doing harm to the world. In this vid tho, its specifically about japan's infamous whaling industry. 🤷
Whales are not fishes, they are mammals.
@@Universalis71384So are cattle, lamb, mutton, pigs, etc.
@@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623 and here's where the anti Chinese troll brigade twist the statistics to suit their narrative. If you want to compare nations then the fairest comparison should be PER CAPITA. I suggest you take a look FAIRLY. The nation with the highest fishing tonnage PER CAPITA is Norway. The Chinese catch enough fish only for TWO fishes per person per year.
They released "safe radioactive water" to the sea. They launched big whaling ship to boost demand on whale meat. Not cool, Japan.
yeah, and remember Nanking ！！
So?
@@Hkchinese888
So they should switch the whale meat with your tasty Bharat meat like they did in WW II ...that'd be cool.
@@Hkchinese888Finish your sentences auntie
@@user-tl4ly1fk2p So?
Stop hunting whales
Stop eating

So human eventually will end up eating human only because there is nothing left to eat..
When a billionaire is allowed to clear cut 100 SQUARE MILES of the BORNEO RAINFOREST for PAPER PRODUCTS than who really cares about anything anymore. Money rules and people with money get to do whatever they want.
They should be under international pressure to stop.
This is a far cry from whaling hundreds of years ago. Fishing on an industrial level is brought to whaling. We all know whale populations can't handle that kind of fishing. Luxury consumerism doesn't really care about that stuff now, do they?
I understand the argument, and I don't know how Japan sets its quota. But in theory, if the quota is sustainable and as long as the industry adheres to it, the "industrial efficiency" with which it is done shouldn't matter to the growth of the whale population.
Sea Sheperd should confront this massive whaling ship in the high sea again
They will
Are they still there tho? They just decommissioned the bob barker, do they have enough ships to counter it?
It won't be long before they invent whale sushi
Whale sushi and sashimi are a thing. People have been eating whale meat, skin, and blubber long before you were born, amongst them, Inuit and other Arctic indigenous peoples.
LOL...History is just a few mins ahead of ya
@@beot-kkot they ain't that mainstream or meta tho
@@sc4ll1wag94 Norway hunted 580 whales during the 2022 season. During the same season, Japan killed 270 (over 600 in 2018), and Iceland, 138. The “funny” thing is, there is a ban on whaling for profit since 1986.
There is whale sushi and dolphin sushi too. And also the most popular of all is whale bacon. Also whale tempura. Personally I am not a big fan of it.
Japan should stick to tuna and salmon.
Even tuna is heading towards extinction
ya, tuna will be gone very soon if things don't change.
Tuna and salmon? They aint white
Tuna already gone
Salmon is endangered as well...
I'm strongly against this
Booooo stop killing the whales.
Mate this ain’t fishing at all, where’s the hook, line and rod. They don’t have men catching itself of machine. They should make a law that only allowed to Catch what a man can carry.
In time where most Asian abandoned eating dog, Japan keep going with "traditional" value and diet
We never ate dog meat.
@@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623 that's a lie lol
We eat 🦮 in yulin
@@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623 dog meat is for the poor and starving, theres zero benefit to eating them besides survival im sure most countries that have been through poverty have had cases of it.
@@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623Not true. The dog meat trade is still a thing in certain parts of China and Korea.
Cruelty to poor whales, what happens to the animal right activists. Hiding in the corner when needed their voices. 😂😂😂
Theyre too busy supporting Palestian terrorists.
Hardly. Humane Society International won a decade-long legal battle against this company to stop killing whales within Australia's Antarctic whale sanctuary. There is also decade-long controversy with the International Court of Justice which ordered the company to cease whaling. They have since resumed. There has been and continues to be pressure and sanctions against this company and the "Institute of Cetacean Research" they effectively partner with. This is a failure of Japan to heed international calls to stop.
Brutal
Stop this! Save the whales!
And they called them experiment purposes.what a joke!
What's happening to Japan right now?? There are now turning from best to worst country
Hmm... I also noticed that they have started getting worse now. If they go this way, soon they'll be the worst country in East Asia.
What else have they been doing
@@mlalbaitero before they released a radioactive water in the ocean. Based on what i can remember, water is used as a cooling system for the nuclear powerplant in Fukushima. Is spread fear to the Japanese people because what would happen to the ocean after that but the government says the water is treated and nothing to worry about but we don't know the future consequences with that. Then recently the bread sold in markets in Japan with rat body parts then now they wanted whale meat to be in demand
Somehow verylastchang and thelastchang is going to blame China for this

I find important that they are showing everyone what they are doing, you can't imagine what other countries are doing with the whales in the shadow.
the plastic waste are killing amounts of whales but i dont hear nothing of this
with all the fishes in the sea, we gotta eat whales?? SHAME!
Why would you try to boost demand ?
Japan's is conducting scientific research and whaling with due care and attention. On what basis do those who are calling for an end to whaling base their arguments? Japan, Norway and Iceland must protect themselves from the slander of other countries.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should
They're increasing their sins again. No wonder their country have many natural disasters.
and protected by the Muricans WH Govt, dont forget that and to some extents Australian Govt too.
MSM? Where are YOU 😂
The MSM is controlled by the governments of the Global West. Japan is an ally, more like a vassal, of the Global West against China so their MSM will say nothing.
Someone needs to show them chicken this is getting out of hand
Blame the American government. We all saw the photo. They blamed Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the dolphins and whales to avoid taking on the blame themselves. Shame!
why not protect wale 😢

Beside eating 🐋 whale's meat, Japanese also love to eat 🐡 puffer fish and 🐻 bear's meat.

Eat more seaweed.
not many whales left. give it up japan
Maybe drink more WATER.
do they have to eat everything

Absolute disgrace Japan , there is no reason to take these wonderful beings from their family groups . We are only just scratching the surface when discovering the intelligence of whales . But what small amount we do know , we know they are gentle , intelligent , compassionate and express emotions . Japan can you not take a leaf out of their book and show some humanity here. You do not need Whale meat , and how can you ingest each mouthful knowing what pain and suffering this being died in , let alone the grief and heartbreak left behind as the pod come to terms with loosing a family member . Young Japanese are loosing the appetite for this trade , which, at the end of the day, is aimed at high end older customers. It’s time to listen and change. The argument is that the fishing industry will go bankrupt , well how about using the knowledge of this industry to set up whale watching and sponsored projects and create a world class conservation area , you will earn much more money that way . The ocean is not our birthright to do with as we want , we destroy it at our peril .
umi no urami wo kurae
There used to be an abundance of whales until the 19th century when they were hunted for their oil. Do you know who hunted them? Hint: We have not used petroleum from the ground and it was the industrial revolution.

My condolences to the family of Mr. Shinzo Abe, a truth Japanese 🇯🇵 and world leader. He was a fierce defender of democracy and Japan's allies including Taiwan 🇹🇼 by allowing troops to fight overseas.

The Chinese 🇨🇳 are known for commercial shark finning by:

- throwing it back into the water, and
- letting them die.

One of the many things I hate about Japan
Shame on Japan of being stubborn for tradition that clearly wrong.
It is unfortunate for these living beauties..
Whenever I studied about the whaling industry in college, including talking to people who have actually eaten whale meat, there was nothing positive. It tastes bad according to everyone I've talked to, the average Japanese person doesn't even like it.
The ONLY thing they can say is "preserving our traditional food" is the same argument dog meat enthusiasts use in Korea.
The industry is already dying. Building an expensive ship to process something people don't even like eating is a waste of money. It isn't going to increase demand, it is just something to make people talk about. Which is why I'm wondering if it was a vanity project for that company, money laundering, or a shady business deal.
Man, I like Japan very much. But I don't like what they're doing in this video at all.
