Killing whales is illegal.
The consequences for illegal whaling can include hefty fines, imprisonment, and the confiscation of vessels and equipment used in the illegal activity. Countries that engage in or allow illegal whaling may face international sanctions and diplomatic pressure. Additionally, illegal whaling undermines conservation efforts, threatens whale populations, and disrupts marine ecosystems, leading to long-term ecological consequences. Public backlash and damage to a country's reputation can also occur, impacting tourism and international relations.

Commercial Whaling has been banned since 1986 by the International Whaling commission. However, scientific whaling is allowed to strict quotas.
