Very few countries still catch whales. What reasons could Japan offer as to why it still catches whales? Do you think Japan should stop?

What do y'all think?!

Japan still catches whales for their meat and valuable inner organs that sell for high monetary value on the Japanese market. From a moral perspective, it would be fit to stop whaling in all countries due to the endangerment of some whale species, especially since their contribution to oceanic population control is so important to the food chain of sea animals globally.
