Japan in recent years is a popular tourist country that Chinese people like to go to, and now the number of tourists to Japan every year is also very large, reaching 8 million people last year, in Japan, China is the country with the largest number of tourists to Japan, but although Japan is fun, there are also some activities that make people look uncomfortable, such as this year's whaling activities.
July-September this year is a good day for Dolphin Bay whalers, but not a good day for the nearby Southern Mallet Whales. This year, Japan officially withdrew from the International Whaling Commission (IWC) and resumed commercial whaling on July 1, and the Japan Whaling Association will receive 5.1 billion yen of commercial whaling funds from the state.
The most recent whaling campaign was in a small village in Japan, where local fishermen lured all the whales into a small bay, killing them in shallow water and cutting their flesh.
According to the British newspaper The Sun, a group of pilot whales collided with each other and clung to each other. The mother of the young whale swam around her children and touched them, trying to comfort them, but to no avail, and eventually they all escaped the fate of being hunted.
Wada is an important whaling village, the southern mallet whales will go to the waters near the Boso Peninsula in Hotachi every June to feed, and the local fishermen's whaling season is until September, but fortunately the number of whaling is limited, only 26, otherwise it may affect the survival of the southern mallet whales.
Why is Japan so obsessed with whaling?
The original reason was that Japan was an island country with not abundant resources and a very dense population, and they obtained food from the sea in order to survive, but they were more focused on the great cause of whaling and porpoise hunting.
Later, after the economy developed, the reason changed to whaling activities for the purpose of investigation and scientific research, but the Fisheries Agency said that the meat studied could not be wasted, and it was better to process it into food.
Although the arrest was suspended for a while under the pressure of the outside world, it started again this year.
In order to commemorate the re-start of whaling activities, the local government also organized activities for students to watch whaling this year, pictured in July this year, Chiba Prefecture organized elementary school students to watch whaling and killing whales.
However, whaling is originally an act of destroying the natural ecology, is it really good for primary school students to watch such a bloody scene?
