Its an aquired taste, and the locals dont like it. That was until the Japanese expressed an interest in buying the meat. Couple of weeks ago, coastal tribe went back out to shoot a whale with a 50 cal. After much shooting, harponing, and 12hrs later one dead whale which sank and couldnt get it back, they gave up. No one is in trouble, good ol boys club. But look for another whale to get it, and quick trip to japan. No different then the salmon fishing by the tribes. Just string a net across the river when the salmon are running. Nothing can get through. Then remove the eggs to sell to the japanese, throw the carcasses away, usually the beach is litered with thousands of them.

It's just never tasted the same since they stopped putting dolphin in it. All this talk of food is making me hungry. I wonder if I should hop a train to Ulsan for a bit of whale or to Incheon for some seal. Kinda makes a good ol' fashioned bowl of dog soup seem rather dull.

Has the ROK ever ratified any IWC anything? Not as far as I can find. Yet they did host the 2005 IWC meeting in Ulsan. But there ever any agreement? If not so, then the ROKs can eat hearty. http://www.iwcoffice.org/_documents/meetings/ChairSummaryReportIWC57.pdf Is this an invite to another “International Law” debate?
