Best Answer

whales are becoming extinct for more than one reason not only because of people whaling but also because of over fishing. this is because we are catching all their food and it makes it hard for them to find food and because of this they die of hunger and get washed to shore or other animals eat them in the ocean.

we are slowly killing off the food chain and if this isn't stopped we will soon have nothing but plankton left to eat.

People are hunting them into extinction. Also, people are polluting the ocean. Also, people are overfishing the plankton, fish ,and squid whales eat. Also global climate change is warming the oceans, and the icecaps are disappearing, and the temperature change is also killing off the whales. They like to live in very cold water, and the temperature of the ocean is warming up, much too warm for the whales to live in.
