Do we have any experts in the fishing industry on lemmy? Is whaling really that profitable? Because it's weird to go back on something like whaling if it isn't profitable. Like I know the Japanese are subsidizing it heavily as a point of national pride, but that can hardly be the issue here.

I could be wrong, but I thought the only reason Japanese whaling wasn't profitable is that it's for "research" so it can't be for profit, and also all the physical harassment from "eco terrorist" groups.
