Tanno, Hamazaki. “Is American Opposition to Whaling Anti-Japanese?.” Asian Affairs. 2 (Summer, 2000): 81-92. Web. 27 Sept. 2011.
This paper basically brought up the idea that the US may be targeting Japan's whaling out of alternative motives. Scholars wonder why the United States focuses on solely Japan's whaling and not other countries such as Norway who do the same amount of commercial whaling. The paper argues that the US may be frustrated by Japan's recent economic success and is attacking Japan's loop-hole in the whaling restrictions. A study was conducted in the form of a survey to research this further. I think that this would be a good point to make in my counterarguments. There are a lot of politics that are involved in the whaling issues and this source would aid me in analyzing to what extent politics and money play a part in commercial whaling and whether countries are pro-whaling or anti-whaling.
