Ub the past whale was used for things like food, oil and even some parts for medicine. However, in the 21st century, it is for just food and scientific research.
Whaling happens in Antarctica because people use them for margarine, soap, shoe polish and lipstick
When a whale is hunted, its meat is used for food. Occasionally, people will use the whale's blubber for oil.
PIGS! ignore the above answer, well whaling is prohibited legally in almost all countries but in Japan, there are ships that carry out whaling. Usually harpoons and giant reinforced nets are used.
Well scientific whaling as basically when you do scientific research on whales. This is actually one of Japans excuse for whaling but of course their lying they use it for food and oil and all that (STOP WHALING!)

they can't. caring for the oceans entails its creatures, and whales are part of them. whaling is awful and people should stop it.
People first started whaling around 3000 BC. It sure was a Long long time ago!
Yes, the Japanese still do some whaling . . . it is one of their basic foods.
People go against whaling so much because people ,like the Japanese, are killing the whales and that populations are starting to go down even more every time someone is whaling!
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.
