Tsunami Disaster Funds To Be Used For Whaling?
http://www.wdcs.org/news.php?select=1094
A joint statement issued by a number of Japanese NGO’s has criticized the Japanese Fisheries Agency request to use part of the government’s additional
annual budget (put aside for rebuilding those areas affected by the March earthquake) for whaling activities.
On October 21st, 2011, the cabinet agreed to 2.28 billion yen (over 29 million US dollars) in tax revenue being set aside to help those in the worst affected
regions.
（●【22.84億円】http://www.maff.go.jp/j/budget/2011/pdf/pr_p18.pdf）
However, it has now been revealed that the Fisheries Agency submitted a request entitled “Measures to stabilize the scientific whaling research programme”
that actually referred to scientific whaling in the Southern Ocean, and so having no link to the recovery plan for the affected areas along Japanese coast.
This request comes at a time when the whaling programme in Japan is suffering from debts of over 24 million US dollars.
（●【19億円】http://www.minato-yamaguchi.co.jp/minato/week1/2011/feb/m110225.html#2）
The NGO statement, which is supported by WDCS, states that if additional budget aimed at recovery work in the affected areas is given to the whaling
industry, then it is unavoidable that people within, and outside of Japan think the government has a vested interest in propping up a dying whaling programme
with tax payers money.
The groups say that spending tax money on the whaling programme in Japan casts doubt on the attitude and seriousness of the Japanese government towards its
recovery plan.
The statement goes on to demand that the Japanese government use the additional budget of over 29 million US dollars for priority projects that actually help
the people, and the coastal areas affected, rather than on expensive and unwanted whaling in the Southern Ocean.
Joint statement put out by the following groups;
IFAW Japan, Choice for the Future, Citizens Against Chemical Pollution, Ramsar Network Japan, Japan's Environmental Lawyers Federation, Alive in Viable
Environment (ALIVE), Japan Tiger and Elephant Fund (JTEF), Save dugong Campaign Committee, Biodiversity Information Box, Orcalab Support society, Shachi.jp
