“It’s part of Japan’s food culture,” said Sakai, adding that she ate a lot of whale as a child. “The world opposes killing whales, but you can say the same thing about many of the animals bred on land and killed for food.”

Can someone explain this line of thinking to me? She's comparing chicken farms or ranching to hunting whales? It's almost like some of these people feel entitled to eat it today because they did as a kid. I'm not an expert on the earth's whale population but I imagine that hunting them will have a long term effect on them or it wouldn't have been stopped 30 years ago.
