To my mind, hunting purely for sport is much worse than hunting for commerce - at least commercial whale hunting has a purpose, to use the whale products. However, I leave it to the experts to calculate whether some species of whale could sustain hunting, some certainly cannot at present.
Dolphin hunting should most definitely be banned, because they are lovely animals, and we don't need them for food or clothes. Therefore, they should be just left to live freely.
Yes the are the are endangered and we need the whales
one reason whale hunting should not be banned is becasue in some countries whales are considered food just like in others we eat other animals like cows and pigs etc so its just like a cultural delicasy* Just as long as the whaling is kept firmly within that country's territorial waters, and the whale they hunt isn't endangered. lmaoo i cant spell sorry :)
Most people in Britain believe that whale hunting is wrong and immoral... However in a survey more men aproved of the "sport" than men...SAVE THE WHALES!!!!
Japan and then Norway are the top whale-hunting countries.
It can be made out of whales blubber but you can get chewing gum which is not.
Most countries apart from Japan (and Iceland?) have banned whale hunting. And with the request for seal furs dropping seal hunting isn't much of an isssue these days.
Man is the killer whales major enemy. Man has been hunting the whale for a long time and has reduced their numbers. Man hunts the whale for sport, meat, and blubber. Japan is the largest whale hunter region in the world and will readily harpoon one.
NO
Blue whale hunting was banned in 1966 by the International Whaling Commission. But, by 1970 330,000 blue whales had been caught & killed in the Antarctic, 33,000 in the rest of the Southern Hemisphere, 8,200 in the North Pacific, and 7,000 in the North Atlantic. The largest original population, in the Antarctic, had been reduced to 0.15% its original count. Now that they are protected and hunting is banned, I dont think they will become extinct.
Blue Whale populations have declined significantly due to extensive and uncontrolled hunting. Blue whale hunting was banned in 1966 by the International Whaling Commission.

The largest original population, in the Antarctic, had been reduced to 0.15% its original count. Now that the hunting of these giant animals is banned, their numbers has started to increase and I don't think they will go extinct.
