It was a small shop but on a street very famous four tourist souvenirs, so I suppose it's credible? But from a quick search I found that there are international laws prohibiting the trade of sperm whale parts. Did Japan sign the agreements regarding such laws or is it exempted?
Sperm oil is a waxy liquid obtained from sperm whales. It is a clear, yellowish liquid with a very faint odor. Sperm oil has a different composition from common whale oil , obtained from rendered blubber. Although it is traditionally called an "oil", it is technically a liquid wax. It is composed of wax esters with a small proportion of triglycerides , an ester of an unsaturated fatty acid and a branched-chain fatty alcohol. It was supplanted in the late 19th century by less expensive alternatives such as kerosene and petroleum-based lubricants.
However, we also think it is our duty to identify efforts to influence and enact over-reaching ivory ban laws. Many of these legislative efforts would have no practical impact on reducing poaching that primarily occurs in Africa and Asia or protecting endangered species. There also may be unintended consequences on the legitimate antiques business and priceless collections of scrimshaw in museums such as the New Bedford Whaling Museum and Nantucket Whaling Museum. These pieces of legislation propose specific measures to protect elephants and rhinoceros from poaching and to restrict illegal ivory trade in Massachusetts. The blog purported to show an undercover investigation by HSUS and Humane Society International HSI that claimed to have unearthed evidence of a thriving market for elephant ivory products in Massachusetts.
Q: sperm whale oil for sale? Subject: sperm whale oil for sale? I would like to buy a small quanity of real sperm whale oil, but only if this can be done legally. I have heard that these days the sperm whale is protected, but I'm unclear about whether this animal can still be hunted in limited numbers, or not at all. Because if they can be hunted in limited numbers, that means somebody somewhere is still selling sperm whale oil.
