1. Unfortunately, such nationalistic traditions are being combatted by
yelling at the Japanese and commanding them to stop what they're doing. Because not doing so would make environmentalists feel like they aren't seen as caring enough, no matter how much it just makes the other side dig in even further.
Though as with seals, environmentalists really don't care about the environmental science related to whale numbers and fish stocks (though well, most whales eat plankton obviously). It's purely about the cruelty of killing and that animals have a right to kill animals but humans don't. I'm fine with people who believe that. It's just not science and shouldn't be mistaken for it.
