Japan intends to withdraw from the International Whaling Commission (CWE)、I was stunned by the news (2018/12/20)。Most people probably think it doesn't matter because I don't eat whale meat.、It's not a question of that level.。
Japan continues to research whaling under the guise of researching resources for commercial whaling.。The eyes of the world are suspicious of the "resource survey" itself.。because、This is because he has a previous conviction for selling whale meat to a specific company after every investigation.。The world is、I suspect it's a hidden "sales" operation.。In fact, whale meat is distributed to some companies.、That doubt is natural.。Before leaving etc.、First of all, more efforts should be made to clear that doubt.。
People who have eaten whale、Or the person who still eats it.、Probably less than 1% in Japan as a whole.。I personally ate whale bacon as a side dish in my lunch box when I was a child.、I have eaten it about 100 times (it is not a species for which whaling is prohibited)、Hamagorondo or something like that、I think it's that kind of thing。However, people in anti-whaling countries view them on the same level as dolphins.、frowned)、I never thought it was particularly delicious.。I don't deny my personal preference, but、This should not be confused with ``withdrawing'' from the International Federation of Whales.。
Japan claims the existence of a unique food culture and the existence of sufficient resources (according to Japan's own research).。But、that、How to convince people who don't want to eat whale meat at all、It requires a considerable amount of determination (effort)。How far did Japan go in trying to persuade people overseas?、including the methodology、very doubtful。``A sense of ownership'' that ``It's no use saying anything''。And it is extremely dangerous to make judgments based solely on the internal feeling that ``I've done well enough so far.''。
Japan's full power after withdrawing from the League of Nations、I'm sure I'm not the only person who remembers the scene where Yosuke Matsuoka leaves the League of Nations General Assembly Hall.。``Yuiga-dokuson'' is ``forbidden'' in the international community.。"Impity is loss"、There are such good words in Japanese too.。We must be prepared that international cultural understanding will take hundreds of years.。in any case、Japan is a country that cannot survive without being connected to the world.。
