Japanese position on permitting the hunting of non-endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption? Yes, I agree that the Norwegians and Japanese have sovereignty for cultural whaling, depending on their proposed method of hunting whales. The Levin Institute (n.d.) reported that “The whales that the two countries sought to hunt were not considered endangered...”. Should Norway and Japan assume that it's open season on whales not yet listed on the endangered species? Rather, it would…

loss and for ecosystems to continue operating. Whales are starting to extinct and whaling is one of the important causes of this problem. The blue whale is the largest animal and a lot of them are found in the Antarctic. The specie reduced abundantly because of hunting in the 20th century. The Antarctic blue whale is classified as Critically Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.

position on permitting the hunting of non-endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption. Many countries were founded on whaling including the United States. Whales provided a large resource of food, fuel and luxuries such as perfume. It is still a part of the United States ' culture as there are Native American tribes who still hunt to this day as part of their culture. If you take a moral stance against non-endangered whale hunting then you would have to take offense at all meat…

1. Why does Frankfurt think BS is worse than lying? Explain in detail. - Although both a liar and bullshitter are abusing the truth, Frankfurt believes that bullshitting is worse than lying because when someone tells a lie they are concerned about keeping the truth from the person/s they are lying to. A bullshitter does not care about these things. The only thing that matters to the bullshitter is being able to get away with not telling the truth. When someone lies, they always have to keep one…

truly disagree with Japan and Norway using cultural exception as a reason to justify their continuation for whaling. When most of their population are starting to lose an appetite for it and even more controversial is that 113 metric tons of Minke whale meat was sold to an animal feed manufacturer in 2014 (Bale R., 2016). If the consumption is going down, doesn’t that mean that it is not an essential tradition, and having shown that they had to waste so much as to resorting to use it as animal…

No, no way, the Canadian government shouldn't ban the seal hunt due to many reasons. I feel the main reasons are: we would lose resources that we acquire from the seals, due to the increase in population of the seals, fishes that we eat are decreasing in population some are even close to extinct, and that the media is going above and beyond by showing nonsense and causing people to act against the seal hunt which is hurting the economy, specially the fishermans. First of all the seals are…

Canadian Seal Hunt The famous Nobel Peace Prize winner, Wangari Maathai once said “Environment and the economy are really both two sides of the same coin. If we cannot sustain our environment, we can not sustain ourselves” This has led me to the belief that the Canadian Seal hunt should not be banned because of the environmental benefits, economical benefits and the health benefits it provides that have been discovered through well developed research. Firstly, the seal hunt is balancing out the…

simialr to these that are allowed in the IWC regulation inorder to maintain these important indigenous traditions. It is understood that the Inupiaq people feel a strong connection to the whale, and feel that it is a great part of who they are. An important part of this felt connection is the belief that the whale offers its life to them as a gift, and in return they take part in an ancient celebration called ‘Nalukataq’ hosted by the whaling captain and the crew once…

Whales, a wonderful and magnificent innovation of mother nature. Not only they are beautifying the environment, but also they help to stabilize the ecosystem by maintaining the over flow of the food chain in the sea. Furthermore they are carrying a big value towards the specific country’s tourism industry. From whale watching and whale swimming the certain country can attracts many foreign tourists towards their country. But these creatures are endangered. Whaling is the main threat to their…

The Blue Whale Out of all the creatures that have lived on this earth, from the big bang to present day, the blue whale is the biggest organism to ever exist. This alone is mind-blowing to me which is why I chose this animal for this particular project. To think even if you consider the dinosaurs walking the earth approximately 66 million years ago known for their enormous size and it doesn't even compare to the size of the blue whale, its pretty astonishing. We know very little about this…
