Do people still hunt dolphins

Answer 1

The Japanese are still whaling, so even though the Blue Whale is a proctected animal, it still might be hunted by Japanese whalers. Maybe not intentionally, but they certainly won't throw it back, and even if they did they whale would probably bleed to death. That's the sad facts. :(

Answer 2

Yes, in Alaska and for doing research. Im not sure about other states or countries but, I know that people who live on the ice still hunt whales in Alaska and Japan has a quota on hunting whales for research

Answer 3

No. Blue whale hunting was banned in 1966 by the International Whaling Commission. But, by 1970 330,000 blue whales had been caught & killed in the Antarctic, 33,000 in the rest of the Southern Hemisphere, 8,200 in the North Pacific, and 7,000 in the North Atlantic. The largest original population, in the Antarctic, had been reduced to 0.15% its original count.

Answer 4

Yes, dolphin hunting, especially drive hunting, is still prominent in many locations around the world. The reasons for hunting dolphins may be cultural, religious, or for subsistence. The drive hunting method is still in popular in places such as Peru, Japan, the Solomon Islands, and the Faroe Islands.

In spite of this, controversy surrounding the hunts are abundant, with many critics arguing against what they deem to be inhumane hunting practices. However, the dolphin hunts continue to take place and thousands of dolphins are slaughtered every year.
