BBC: "Japan puts whale burger on menu"



"Japan has said it will double the number of whales it kills for
scientific research, a move that was opposed by an IWC vote on
Wednesday.

The chain of restaurants, on the island of Hokkaido, said the burgers
were selling well
.

All of Japan's whale meat comes from the 700 or so it is allowed to
kill every year for research purposes."

Except this other article shows that they're aiming for a record ...

"Japan's whaling fleet has set sail for Antarctic waters where it
will make its biggest catch in 20 years.

The boats will aim to catch nearly 1,000 whales over the coming
months."

Bastards.
