This is SCIENCE IN THE NEWS in VOA Special English. I’m Shirley Griffith.
And I’m Christopher Crui. Today, we tell about whales. Some people want
to hunt the animals, while others simply enjoy watching them in the wild. We tell
about a plan for an American aquarium to import beluga whales from Russia. And
we talk about a whale that could make human-like sounds.
Environmental activists in South Korea are condemning a government plan to
hunt endangered whales for scientific rearch. They believe the plan is part of an
effort to re-start commercial whaling activities. Such activities are banned in many
International Whaling Commission has yet to make a decision on the
South Korean plan.
The organization banned commercial whaling in 1986 becau of concerns
about the survival of whale species. But now, some South Korean fishermen say
they are facing a threat from minke whales. They say the animals are eating what
would have been their catch.
The plan was immediately condemned by anti-whaling nations. Wildlife
activists also criticized the proposal. Han Jeong-hee works in Seoul for the
environmental group Greenpeace.
“It’s really regretful to hear that Korean government is, like, considering
conducting scientific whaling. Scientific whaling is just, like, thinly-disguid
commercial whaling. And, you know, we are of cour against all commercial
whaling. Japan’s the only country which is doing scientific whaling at the
moment and Korea is just trying to follow that.”
Korea has a long history of whaling. Cave paintings found on the south coast
show images of whale hunts. But such hunts and the u of whale meat as food did
not really become popular until late in the nineteenth century.
Every year, the South Korean town of Ulsan holds an event that re-creates
tho whaling expeditions. Visitors are urged to eat at local restaurants that rve
whale meat.
South Korea’s Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries says the goal of the plan
is to help fishermen. It notes that limited whaling for scientific rearch is
permitted under the commercial whaling ban. Japan has continued hunting whales
under this exception.
Critics of whaling do not believe claims by Japan that its whaling activities are
for scientific rearch. They note that whale meat from the hundreds of whales
killed in the hunt is sold to the Japane public.
