Whaling

Whaling is a real thing in Japan.












While being outlawed in the U.S., whaling still happens in Japan. Whaling is when whales are hunted for meat or their blubber. Whaling is very inhumane, since the whales are killed by a harpoon being shot into them, and it’s usually a very slow and painful death. Humans don’t even need any part of whales, but it’s considered a delicacy in some places, and the whale parts can be sold for huge amounts of money. Activist groups such as PETA would like whaling to be outlawed worldwide.
