Whales are important animals in the sea. The organizations of the world are calling all nations not to kill or eat whales any more. But Japan's new whaling（捕鲸）plan is a great danger to the living of these large animals. It will also do harm to the sea interests（利益）of other surrounding countries including China, experts said.

After the Japanese government made its decision clear on Nov. 8, 2016 to catch 100more whales in 2017, many animal experts in the world voiced their angry answers.

According to a Japan News report, Japan caught 174 minke whales and 140 sei whales totally in the northwest Pacific Ocean in 2017.

After years of overfishing（过度捕捞）, the population of minke whales in the northwest Pacific Ocean has been reduced to a dangerous level. Therefore, Japan should stop whaling in the area, " said Wang Yaming, a leader of the International Whaling Organization. According to Wang, most whales living in the northwest Pacific Ocean are migratory（迁徙的）animals, and their traveling way is very close to the land of Russia, South Korea, North Korea, Japan and China. Japan's whaling will also have a terrible influence on those countries

Although the world has stopped to catch and kill whales, Japan lies to others that its killing of whales is just for scientific purposes. However, many experts don't agree with it completely. "Japan should not kill more whales, as doing so would harm the international whale resources（资源）. Japan's whaling in the northwest Pacific Ocean hasn't drawn much more attention because it hardly influences the interests of western countries. " Wang explained.

It is really high time for Japan to stop its whaling from now on.
