According to this article from NHK news, a whale has become stranded off the coast of Wakayama near the town of Tanabe. Local residents are helping to free the whale so it can swim to deeper waters. This story raised a few questions in my mind.
1) Why save the whale when this is a perfect opportunity to eat it?
2) Have the residents from Tanabe town got something against the tradition of eating whale meat?
3) Do they have a beef with the whaling industry?
この記事によるとクジラが和歌山の湾内に迷い込んだらしい。田辺市の人はクジラを助けようと必死です。と言ったらなんでクジラを
助けるの？だってせっかく食べれるチャンスなのに。田辺の人たちは捕鯨産業に反対してる？
