Japanese whale meat 'being sold in US and Korea'

Quote:
Scientists say they have found clear proof that meat from whales captured under Japan's whaling programme is being sold in US and Korean eateries.
The researchers say they used genetic fingerprinting to identify meat taken from a Los Angeles restaurant as coming from a sei whale sold in Japan.
They say the discovery proves that an illegal trade in protected species still exists.

And the Japs still rely on that ridiculous excuse "we hunt just enough for research", its truly sickening that in the 21st century a supposed developed, civilized nation can still argue a case for slaughtering these graceful giants.

Well it would seem Greenpeace did have a case against the Japanese whaling industry.

I had whale in a fish place in Pslo in 2006.... It was actually quite nice, but I don't think I'll eat it again....
