Actually, the budget for whaling has been cut which will probably see it cease next year.

Living very far away from Japan it is very interesting to know that the number one expectation is a country that correctly uses tax revenue.

I think around the world we all have this very important expectation and generally we get disappointment when we find out how are taxes are many times misused.

In this sense I want to respectfully bring the issue of the amount of funds taken from Japanese tax payers to conduct scientific whaling operations in the other end of the world, the southern ocean.
