Ahoy, Tasties!
Melville should be required reading in Japan. I spied this on the newsfeed, but has anybody seen coverage of the renewed whale hunt in the Japanese press? Would be good for comparison.

i have been reading about this, but cannot find out exactly why this is happening. are whales all that tasty? or is there some quasi-environmental cause behind it. i remember all of the photos of japanese school kids being forced to eat whale in the cafeteria and noticeably deriving no pleasure from it.
ReplyDeletethe hunt is ostensibly for "scientific" purposes.
