some traditions eat them, others poach(kill) them for their blubber, etc
No Killer Whales are not near extinction even though hunting still goes on in some countries for the blubber.
because thay just are because thay just are
Yet another ineptly phrased question. Whales have been hunted almost to extinction. Some nations have voluntarily stopped hunting whales. Some nations continue to hunt them.
yes, but they are protected since 1966, they are making a slow recovery in some areas.
Found nearly worldwide, the barn owl is in not in danger of extinction, but populations have declined in some regions.
limited amount and close to extinction
Some or several species become extinct every day.
It depends on which toads you are talking about. As a general species no they are not, but some of the species like the Kihansi spray toads are.
The only similarities would be diet (plankton), size and they both live in the ocean. Some whales eat plankton, as do whale sharks. Some whales are close to the same size as whale sharks. Otherwise, whales are mammals, and whale sharks are fish.
There has been some debate whether it should be made illegal, as it can result in extinction of the whales. But yes, it is perfectly legal, however harsh you feel it is! They kill whales so they can make medicine. They also kill them so that they can get whale burgers or whale meat! I absoloutly hate the idea of killing any animal!
They are endangered due to their current population and rate it is either increasing or decrease Main cause for some species like Antarctic Minke whale is due to hunting and many whales before were hunted to the brink to extinction but some able to recover after commercial whaling ban. Main cause is Whaling but Whales do die from ship collisions and occasionally from military tests in the oceans.
The beaver was totally wiped out in some areas, and the population as a whole came close to extinction.
