What do the Japanese think about eating whales?

The Japanese have been eating whales for many years, which is also a traditional food. In Japan, whale meat is similar to many fresh sashimi, and whales are a kind of food. But whales are different from many other fish. Because of its huge size, this intelligent mammal is difficult to achieve through reproduction. Unlike other fish on our daily table, they are all farmed, so if you want to eat whale meat, you must kill them cruelly.

Many years ago, there was a real documentary called Dolphin Bay, which recorded the cruel killing of dolphins in Japan. Bloody red permeates the whole bay, and killing whales is also bloody and cruel. But the Japanese have two views on eating whales.

The first view supports eating whales and whaling, because whales are a very important part of Japanese food culture, just like we eat fried chicken and pork and beef. Is it also a cruel hunting behavior that needs to be banned? This ancient and traditional food culture is undeniable.

The second view is against it. They think whales live freely in the sea. We humans can't start killing cruelly just because we stand at the top of the food chain. Why can't we eat other fish? The traditional food culture is wrong and should be corrected. Most people disapprove of eating whale meat. No market, no killing.
