Many companies and people benefit from whale hunting. Restaurants, markets, the hunters all benefit from the hunting of whales.
Japan, Norway, Soviet Union.
Queequeg was a harpooner on the whaling ship. His job involved using a harpoon to hunt and kill whales from the ship's small boats.
Japan is the country most prominently involved in whaling. Japan has led an active pro-whaling movement ever since whaling was banned in 1986. Consequently it has gained the support of many other countries such as Iceland and China, but it has also promised financial aid to small, poorer nations of Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific countries if they support it in the International Whaling Commission.
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.
Whaling isn't good at all
Commercial Whaling has been banned since 1986 by the International Whaling commission. However, scientific whaling is allowed to strict quotas.
It depends on the era. During the perk of Yankee open-boat whaling, whaling ships could be gone for 2-4 years. During the modern era, a watch catcher based from a shore station might only be out for a day or two, while pelagic whaling involved being out for several months.
Whaling stopped in Australia is 1979
Whaling happens in oceans, not on continents.
If you mean whales, they die painfully.
Protesting and intervening with whaling ships
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!)
