Also, in one of the biggest fish markets in Japan, in Tokyo, selling whale is illegal.

It has to be a whole lot more healthy for you than our current meats that we consume. The controversy over the Japanese whalers vs the Anti-whalers is getting to be a really boring topic. It boils down to: The Japanese whalers are collecting scientific data from the whales to prove that certain species of stock whales are not endangered, have a abundant food source and that the eco system can sustain them. The anti whalers are operating on other peoples emotions to try and convince them this is wrong, without giving any data to back it up. Drink the kool-aid!

Are you serious? Have you seen Whale Wars? You must have been to busy eating crunchy whale fat on your salad to have missed the episode where the Japanese whalers chased 2 whales swimming for their lives, doing 16 knots! These animals were relentlessly pursued so they couldn't take a deep breath and dive...after chasing the beautiful animals to the point of exhaustion one was harpooned, nearly through the head, pulled backwards, fighting, to the boat, it is still trying to dive and get away...after 25 MINUTES this "HUMANELY KILLED "whale is shot through the head with a rifle 6 times, before it finally bleeds out and dies......the next time you eat whale I hope you choke...you disgust me, you have no knowledge about what you write about. These whales you are eating are protected and living in a sanctuary...these whalers have no regard for the lives of animals, the laws they are breaking, and people like you with your ignorant musings bring us all one step closer to completely ruining the planet we all share....all that is cared for here is money..

Did they server whale ice cream at the end? My wife likes an all tofu restaurant in Tokyo, and it's good, but for every course to be tofu-based is ridiculous!

You have avoided answering the question, and systematically bored me into giving up asking it. The result is that I will not trust you as an authority on whaling, and continue my search for independent information elsewhere. As will any reasonable, uncommitted, enquiring person who's been following. Congratulations on a successful filibuster, by the way.
