Australia’s Minister for the Environment, Malcolm Turnbull, appears on a YouTube video aimed at informing Japanese children about the importance of protecting the whales. In the video, Mr Turnbull explains what an important issue this is to Australia and how children there are taking action to help these magnificent creatures.
Japan has long been one of the worse enemies to the world’s whale population, continuing to hunt and kill them, often over the pretenses of research while all the whale meat ends up in the market.
Education, and building environmental awareness among the younger generation Japanese is apparently how the government of Australia has decided could in the future cause a switch in the country’s blood lust for whale meat.
