The simple definition of whaling is "The practice or industry of hunting and killing whales for their oil, meat, or whalebone." Whaling is similar to fishing but instead of nets used to catch them or kill them, harpoons and ropes is used to kill and carry the dead carcass. For Japanese whaling, when A whale is killed, it is transported onto the factory ship where it is processed , stored and chill until it gets send to Japan.
