Video Of Japanese Processing A Baird’s Beaked Whale

Japan, which kills about 60 rare Baird’s beaked whales per year, does so by arguing that they are small cetaceans, even though they can grow larger than minke whales.

And like other fish and ocean mammals at the top of the food chain, they are dangerously high in mercury.

And they are rare, perhaps endangered.

But that doesn’t seem to mean shit to Japan.
