A whaler is a fisherman who catches whales.

Before the Western emphasis on protected species and the study of cetacean intelligence, whales were caught like fish and used for food, oil, and other products. They are still considered a subsistence species for natives of arctic lands, such as the Inuit, Makah, and Chukotkas. There is nothing inherently evil or immoral about hunting animals -- it is a choice that can be made by individuals and societies.
