All Whale hunting is a terrible evil . But to kill Humpbacks is like killing people, and Japan fails to understand this. They claim whale hunting is a cultural heritage. But the truth is Japans Whale hunting tradition was inshore by fishermen in small boats when Whales came in to close proximity to the shore. But the Whaling they are doing now was introduced to them by by the USA after the end of the second world war to help prevent Japan from starving. This for me was the best news item covered by the media in 2007 Japan Suspends Humpback Whale Hunt.
