The site of the last whaling station in New Zealand which closed down in 1964?
NO, Whaling in New Zealand started in the 18th century, and ended in 1964 since it was no longer economic. The south pacific region is mostly protected area for whales now. The majority of whaling activity happens in the arctic

No, NZ stopped whaling in the 1960's and are now one of the world leaders in conservation on the whales in the Pacific Ocean.
No, because since whales are endangered and the can receive more money for tourism:)
no unfortunately I'm not so sure about this but i reckon it was new zealand that did!!
Whaling and sealing are considered unacceptable commercial activities in new Zealand. Because it is considered that the Cetacea are of high intelligence, and thus deserve protecting. However whales or other Cetacea that become beached irretrievably are humanely put down and buried. The bones of these unfortunates are often recovered, especially for carving by Maori.
Christmas was first celebrated in New Zealand when Christians moved there.
Wellington is the capital city in New Zealand
France does not support whaling and is in fact, part of a group of countries opposing it. Alongside with Australia, New-Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom, France voted for and supports the enforcement of the interdiction of whaling.
