Fishermen Process Baird's Beaked Whale Caught In Approved Coastal Whaling

CHIBA, JAPAN - JULY 21: Fishermen slaughter a newly-caught 10.5 metre Baird's Beaked Whale on July 21, 2020 in Wada Port, Chiba, Japan. Despite criticism following Japans withdrawal from the International Whaling Commission (IWC) last year, the country has resumed limited commercial whale fishing after an effective ban of over 30 years. Japan has long claimed that whale hunting is a part of its culture, with some coastal communities having hunted the mammals for over 400 years and the meat considered a national delicacy.
