Is whaling good?
That would depend on whether you are the whale or the person doing the whaling. If you are the whale, I would say the answer would be NO whaling is NOT good. If you are the whaler, you might say it is good because it provides you with a means to support yourself and or your family. As a supporter of Greenpeace, I personally say that whaling is about as good as bludgeoning a baby seal to death. Why don't you google Greenpeace and watch some video's then decide for yourself whether or not it is "good".
What is being done to manage whaling?
Money from Greenpeace etc is being funded to give money to whaling componies to stop and making some areas whaling free
Does the antarctic treaty address whaling?
The antarctic treaty, which now has 46 nations in it, has 2 main organisations that deal with whaling. Although the treaty do address the Japanese whaling, the main 2 organisations are Greenpeace and Sea Sheperd. These 2 organisations aim to fight the whaling in Antarctica going to many extents. Sorry I didn't help but if you can get your hands on a book name "Oxford Big Ideas Humanities 2" it has a whole chapter on Antarctica and also about the treaty.

Why is whaling important for Japan?
It isn't. Whaling in Japan exists purely for selfish reasons, such as luxury whale meat in top restaurants. Whaling is illegal by international law. So Japan are breaking the law. Iceland is also a whaling country. When Iceland made an application to join the European Union, they were rejected, purely because they allow whaling and Europe doesn't want to be associated with such illegal activity. Dozens of species of whales are on the brink of extinction because of whalers. There are many organisations trying to protect whales from Japanese whalers, such as Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace - who often attack Japanese whaling ships with smoke bombs, paint grenades and water cannons. The government of Chile even threatened to sink the Japanese whaling ships if they came near Chilean waters.
