In the 18th and 19th centuries, Walruses were heavily hunted by Whalers and Sealers which drastically reduced their numbers. They almost wiped out the whole Atlantic population. Commercial hunting of Walruses is banned in a majority of its habitats. Walrus Meat, Skin and Tusks were the main reason for the widespread hunting of these large animals. Even today, Walrus hunts happen in Russia, USA, Canada and Denmark. Approximately 4000 to 7000 animals are killed each year.
