TOKYO - Japan will add large fin whales to its list of commercial whaling species, government spokesperson Yoshimasa Hayashi said on Thursday, five years after leaving an international body that regulates the commercial hunt of the marine mammals.
The Japanese government will continue to promote whaling and take the necessary diplomatic steps, Hayashi told a regular press conference. Whale consumption in Japan peaked in the early 1960s but did not become widespread as other meat became more easily available.
