Japanese tradition and "research" although we know everything to know about them...they're big...
Yes, the Japanese still do some whaling . . . it is one of their basic foods.
Money from Greenpeace etc is being funded to give money to whaling componies to stop and making some areas whaling free
While whaling was banned by the International Whaling Commission in 1986, it is legal to kill whales for scientific purposes in some countries, such as Japan.
It should be. In some places it is and some it isn't.

Schools can effectively implement charity initiatives by first identifying the needs of their community, involving students in the planning and execution of the initiatives, collaborating with local organizations, and promoting a culture of giving and empathy among students and staff.
It varies by the decade you are on about. Especially when it comes to whaling For whaling alone about 20,000 whales are hunted each decade. If you include boat accidents involving whales and whales dying in captivity then that number increases to around around 200,000 in a decade.
Not all whaling is Japanese whaling. They get the most fame because they kill many whale (almost 1000 in the southern ocean every year, along with hundreds off their coast). Norway, Iceland, and some aboriginal tribes also kill whales, but not as many as Japan.
America is against whaling. They almost put whales out of the ocean for good when they did do whaling. They wanted their blubber for oil.
Pro-whaling arguments often focus on cultural heritage, as some communities view whaling as an essential part of their traditions and identity. Additionally, proponents may argue that regulated whaling can contribute to sustainable resource management and help maintain the balance of marine ecosystems. They might also contend that whaling can provide economic benefits through local industries and tourism. Finally, advocates may challenge the effectiveness of current conservation measures, suggesting that controlled whaling could be a viable alternative.
There is no commercial whaling in Antarctica: some countries hunt whales in Antarctica under the terms of The Antarctic Treaty, and purport that the animals are for scientific research.
Whaling isn't good at all
