Japanese Using Whale Meat For Dog Food
In an attempt to shift the rising whale meat mountains, Japan had already resorted to subsidizing sales of whale burgers and whale meat in school menus, but prices were falling steadily due to the surplus.
The WDCS said Japan's stockpile of whale meat stood at 4,800 tonnes last year compared with 673 tonnes in March 1998, and that this year it had doubled its hunt of minke whales as well as adding humpback and fin whales to the tally.
