Japanese whale-hunting company Kyodo Senpaku has installed vending machines in Tokyo that offer a selection of whale snacks, including whale skin, frozen whale meat and canned pre-cooked whale.
Unfortunately, the vending machines have reportedly been a big success, and more are planned.
The Japan News quoted a Kyodo Senpaku spokesperson as saying: 𝘜𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘑𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯'𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵.

@thewebrecluse The Faroes use the same argument for the same thing. Cultural identity, okay. At the same time, we also stopped living in caves, developed written language, etc.
