EQ:What area has the strongest whaling area in Japan

Whaling in Taiji happened in the 17^th centuries. People who did whaling was considered a job and got paid. In 1606 they organized a group for hunting whales.  Once they catched them they would shoot them with harpoons and lances. In the recent days they would get nets and tract them and once the whales got tired they would Taiji would hunt bigger whales, and smaller whales if possible. Bigger whales they hunted were because they had the nutrients they wanted with had some fat and put it in hamburgers.

Right whales, humpback whales, fin, minke and gray whales were primarily hunted.^[15] Blue whales, sei, Bryde's and sperm whales were however also taken when possible

Take action piece

For our project we had to find something we could do about our problem,so we emailed the Japan Whaling Association and the Internation Whaling Commision along with our teachers our blog, we also created the blog, found information pictures and resources,created links to websites with different perspectives, we found a current article, we created a timeline, suggested solutions, and filmed a video with us playing different perspectives (we couldn't put it on the blog though).

People eat whales all the time it is vet nasty and they should stop.

Solutions to whaling

1. Japan can find a substitute for whale
2. A school in Japan that teaches kids that whaling should be stopped
3. Creating new jobs, like finding renewable energy, until the whale population goes back up again and whaling in smaller amounts
