      Material certified by IWC in 1992.
      There are 76,000 minke whales in the waters around Antarctica.
      The report states that there is no problem even if the annual take of 2,000 whales continues for 100 years.
      And the IWC's protocol was that it was up to the discretion of member nations to take whales for research as long as they stayed within the limits.
      The number of captures set by Japan at that time was less than half of the limit.

      The minke whales hunting by Norway and Japan are considered "the least concerned" species in terms of extinction. And Inuit and indigenous cultures around the world are allowed to hunt for "cultural" and "survival" reasons, and some species are endangered😑

    • @wadepsilon01
      @wadepsilon01 Місяць тому +2

      In the 30 years since 1980, the population of Adélie penguins off the coast of Antarctica has plummeted by more than half. This is because minke whales have proliferated rapidly, depriving them of plankton and fish for food (from an April 2011 National Geographic article).
      The recovery of the blue whale population, which really needs protection, has been slower than expected due to the surge in minke whales.
      In addition, the increase in human suffering from sharks in the waters around Australia is due to an increase in the number of sharks migrating to target minke whales
      Originally, the project should have proceeded in a systematic manner, distinguishing between species that need protection and those that need adjustment.
      This is an example of how indiscriminate protection has caused confusion in the ecosystem.

The halt by the way, was brought due to the near-extinction of grey whales caused by white Americans. Sea Shepherd still decided to invade the territories granted to the Makah and attack their whaling boat. If this isn’t racism, I don’t know what is.
