		lm2s on Dec 27, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Japan to withdraw from the International Whaling C... Just recently I learned that Japan is not the only country that hunts whales. It seems Norway also does it and to a larger scale. This isn't an excuse for Japan, just sharing this info for others that might unaware that Japan isn't alone in this.

Yes, there's a plot at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whaling#Greenland comparing Japan to Scandinavia.

Japan used to whale way more than any other country though (pre 80's), so hopefully this move doesn't signal returning to those levels.
