I think more research by Jgov is required.

How shocking to learn that there really is something scientific and research worthy about whales and that such work actually goes on by trained professionals in the field.

I really hope that japan does not do their type of research on this new and mysterious not to mention endangered species of whale. Because if they do we will never get the chance to do real research on it and find out more about it because it will be extinct and never seen again. You don't have to kill an animal to do research on it And it would be a shame because our children and our childrens children etc, will only be able to read about it in books and not see them in thier natural habitats. We are already destroyng this planet and they will inherit a world of misery that they will be responsible for cleaning ,restoring and correcting the damage our generation has left them. Please stop killing animals under the pretexts of resurch.

Japan apologist trying to justify "Japanese Scientific Research". I'm saddened by this discovery since it makes these "Japanese whale scientists" salivate.

How shocking to learn that research can be done without using a single harpoon or bottle of soy.

Goes to show, what trained professionals do is a lot different from what butchers do.
