Controversial topic:Japanese Whaling

Is it reasonable for one race to criticize the other country's food culture? Or is it really an issue to put in a discussion table or dining table? In my opinion, it is sometimes worth preserving especially whaling. The whaling issue is now boiling in some neighboring countries especially in southern Pacific area. Japanese whaling research is rammed by Australian Green Peace and Sea Shepherd. Their objective is to terminate our food culture. They created a TV program which justifies their battle against the Japanese fleet.

This TV program is maybe trying to get the affirmation of other people to agree with Sea shepherd's activity. This program can give viewers action scenes like the Pirates of Carribian or something.
When I was a child, my father used to give me a slice of frozen whale meat after he arrived home from work. The fresh and peculiar smell always stimulated my apettite. Seafood culture including whale meat is deeply rooted in Japan. It is said that Japanese whaling has continued for more than 16,000 years.

 It is true that we should not exploit the limited resourses, but we mainly catch a certain amount of Minke whales which have 10 meter length and about 8 tons weight and live in southern hemisphere in accordance with IWC rules. According to the survey on the Minke whales population done by Japanese government in 2008, there were more than 650,000 Minke whales in the southern hemisphere. IWC admitted that we had maintained the total numbers of Minke whales and could preserve them. We have embraced our whale meat culture under global rules. 

While they are developing anti-whaling activity, they are abusing their treasured animals such as Kangaroos, Thylacinus cynocephalus, and dingos. A dingo is a kind of wild dog which Aboligini had as their pet in old age. Dingo always eats sheeps, so Australians think of dingo as menace ,and try to exterminate almost all Dingo. Consequently Dingo has become on the verge of extinction and designated as endangered spices by world Wildlife Fund. Kangaroos, which are one of the iconic animal in Australia, have eaten by Australian as daily foods. Foreign people don't know about it because this fact is not publicly disclosed. Thylacinus cynocephalus, which was one of  the unique Australian animal and has already disappear in the world, were rampantly killed by  European settlers in 20th century.

If someone feel guilty of eating whale meat, then they should learn how Australian treat for their precious animals domestically.
