How much money do you make by killing whales?

Answer 1

Whales are protected with criminal and civil laws. Unfortunately, there is little to be done to those who are caught killing whales. Most action takes the form of public statements discouraging the behavior.

Answer 2

I'm Japanese so I may misunderstand your question, which was written in English. Did you mean you want to know why some people capture whales? If so, I have one answer.

Whaling is Japanese culture. Do you know Ningyou-Joruri, Japanese traditional puppet play? We need whale's barbel to move the puppets. We also make (or made) a hair ornament, Kanzashi from whale's teeth or ribs. I'm sorry, but I don't know if the meat is tasty. Almost all young Japanese like me haven't eaten because many peoples don't like our whaling. For the same reason, Ningyou-Joruri or Kanzashi made from whales are getting extinct.

This is a puppet in Ningyo-Joruri.

Answer 3

it is a 120 dollar fine for whale hunting
