To actually see them several they were shocked pay for fascinated by the big sharks actually killing them is a ridiculous weist of the Natural Resource michael penned in so q is that a valid argument in your opinion and does that argument get any traction any place in japan i mean the industry the eco Tourism Industry that can collins is talking about globally is worth 77000000000. 00 every 12 months so if it goes from being food tourism you know rather than eat something that tastes like very greasy chicken when its cooked properly go and see the whales in their natural habitat and they can then swim off and do what whales do right well fortunately that kind of eco tourism whale eating link has never really developed in the case of japan to the extent that foreigners are involved in the whaling issue in japan at all its as activists against whaling and in fact you know the towns where they where the whalers are to some extent you know bar anybody have very Strong Security services loo
