LONDON (Kyodo) Antiwhaling organizations in Britain are highlighting the use of whale meat in Japanese pet food to champion their cause.
They claim that using the meat in pet food shows that Japan is having difficulty shifting "the hundreds of tons of whale meat piling up in Japanese warehouses."
The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society said it found a Japanese Web site selling whale meat in a dried form for pets. The company extols the health benefits for pets in eating the meat.
