Whaling primarily occurs in the waters of the Arctic and Antarctic regions, where species like the bowhead and gray whales are commonly hunted. Additionally, some countries engage in whaling in the North Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans. Despite international regulations, certain nations continue to practice whaling under various exemptions, leading to ongoing controversies and debates over conservation and animal rights.

Whaling can sometimes be a good thing, as the people who work in the whaling industry need the money earned to feed their families.
