whole global community in the community of nations they are really out of step just as norway and iceland are good all within japan itself and fishy within japanese would say because as we heard from the film that there was trying to pursue they say a sustainable means of fishing and if. you know you've been the species that have recovered. you can fish for them right well that's the attitude of the japan fisheries agency who whose influence in attitudes dominate this conference but the fact is that within japan there's a strong debate over whether it's right and whether it's ecologically practical to hunt whales and to use them for food and there's a strong domestic opposition ultimately that's what's going to knock out japan's whaling although all the other things going on in the world will do so i think there's a strong internal debate that's going to carry the day eventually japan still hunts wales with scientific purposes says and so do norway and iceland how far are we from the end of whaling all together do you think if you think we're in a kind of a cold war containment strategy b
