Minke Whales are "Least Concern" status, not endangered at all -- so that must not be it.
- pvaldes 8y agoBut the animals in the photo aren't minke whales.
- PostOnce 8y agoThe article, however, is about minke whales, even the photo's caption is "Japan's whaling fleet killed 333 minke whales in the South Ocean last year, including 122 pregnant females."
- John_KZ 8y agoThey're not endangered, but they will be if they keep unsustainable whaling. If they want to hunt them; good for them. But they need to set quotas, monitor the local population, train the crews to recognize different species, and enforce the legislation, not to give out fake research permits to their favourite whaling crews. There are many reasons to oppose their practices.
