If people don't need whales then why do you care if they become extinct?

Critics say the program is a shield for Japan to keep its whaling industry alive until it can overturn a 1986 ban on commercial whaling.

From what I understand, the purpose of the ban was to save the whaling industry, not destroy it. The moritorium on commercial whale hunting is simply a means to that end, not the end in and of itself.
After all, if you kill all the whales there won't be anymore whales to hunt.
