Talk:Whale watching

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There's definite POV issues in the "whaling vs. whale watching" section of this article, if anyone wants to take it on. Claims need references! (ricjl 19:03, 3 January 2006 (UTC))

Some specific examples would be good here. Thanks, Pcb21 Pete 11:08, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Whale meat

Regarding this : However whale meat markets have collapsed and in Japan the government keeps its flow artificially through subsidies and whale meat distribution in schools and other forms of whale meat promotion. In 1997 2,000 tonnes of whale meat were sold for $30m

Seems contradictory, 2000 tons sold for $30 million US is hardly a collapsed market - Any references for this figure? or for that matter, present figures/facts? SammytheSeal 20:55, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
