Would legal whaling allow us to monitor whale population better?

I extremely doubt this for a few reasons:
- Whaling is all about killing whales and not trying to protect them.
- They would most likely not to have the time or effort to try recording the population.
- Current whaling activities only record the Numbers of whales being killed and not how many there are left in the world.
- their would still be disputes and certain non governmental organisations like Greenpeace and sea shepherd would fight against this.

What are Advantages of whaling?
Advantages- · Provides plenty of food to many people and communities, · The whole whale is used, none wasted. · Gives many people jobs in the whaling industries and also in charities preventing whaling. · Whale meat sells for a lot of money. · Some scientific research is carried out through Whaling although we can't be sure how much of it actually is. Hope this helps!:D

Should whaling start again?
Whaling should'nt be allowed again, as it could cause a slowly growing population of great species, into an endangered species. Whaling still exists illegally in some countries, and whale parts are in several cosmetic's including lip-stick! Whaling is a vicious, dangerous so called "sport" or "hobby", but would you call being chased by murderer's a hobby? I dont think so.
What caused the whaling industry to decline?
Main reasons would be the reduction of the global whale population and as a result, the 1986 ban on commercial whaling. However, countries like Japan is still doing but in past 6 years, Japan has failed to make a profit of their whaling industry due to a environmental activist non governmental organisation called Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and they have intervene their whaling by trying to reinforce the commercial whaling ban without the use of violence. For other countries, it is just to the fact that people aren't interested as much due to publicity with Japan's Whaling industry.
Why is the Sperm Whale endagered?
That would be because of whaling.
When did whaling began?
It's hard to say but the earliest signs of whaling activity would be as earliest as 6000BC based on archaeological finds.
Is whaling good?
That would depend on whether you are the whale or the person doing the whaling. If you are the whale, I would say the answer would be NO whaling is NOT good. If you are the whaler, you might say it is good because it provides you with a means to support yourself and or your family. As a supporter of Greenpeace, I personally say that whaling is about as good as bludgeoning a baby seal to death. Why don't you google Greenpeace and watch some video's then decide for yourself whether or not it is "good".
Middle colonies have whaling?
Of course. Whaling is SUPER, I LOVE wahling sooo much - I want to grow up and be a part-time whaler :) (I would want to be a full-time whaler, but whaling doesn't pay much!)
The good sides and bad sides of whaling?
Assuming you came here looking for an opinion, I would have to say there are no good sides to whaling. Whales are endangered and should be left alone before they are wiped out. There are other ways to make money.That's not true whales may be endangered but the population is growing very well, around 250 out of 260 whale that where killed by whaling had said to be pregnant so the population is growing well. Whales are very useful resources and they supply food, Cosmetics, Perfume, Lantern and heater oil, shoes and everyday items like umbrellas. they shouldn't be hunted to extinction its bad but if they kill the right amount the population will stay stable or even rise.
How many whales have been killed since whaling was banned?
Not many. Hunting by humans is the biggest threat to gray whales. Gray Whales have been hunted since the 16th century. Humans have been whaling gray whale species for over 4 decades now. This hunting has significantly reduced the gray whale populations. The north atlantic population of gray whales were totally wiped out due to whaling even before the 19th century. Around 1950, governments worldwide declared the gray whale as an endangered species and banned whaling them

What is the meaning of the song Nantucket Sleighride?
A Nantucket Sleighride is a old whaling term for when one of the small whaling boats (away from the ship) would harpoon a whale, and as the whale sounded, it would tow the boat behind it at some speed, occasionally capsizing the boat. The seas off Nantucket were rich whaling grounds, where many ships would gather, hence the term Nantucket Sleighride. The song is simply about a young man leaving his girlfriend behind a he sailed on a (fruitless) 3 year whaling voyage.
