There are a number of reasons.
1. Despite the claims made by pro-whaling countries, videos of whaling show that it is often not a quick death. In some cases the whale is hung upside down (fighting to escape, to breath), with it's head & blow hole (breathing hole) below the water until it suffocates.
2. The rate at which whales reproduce is slow, and the rate at which they can be hunted is high. This will cause extinction.
3. Whales provide only a small input into the food chain, so the gains are out weighted by 1 & 2. (IE it's unnecessary)
4. Just because it is "traditional" is no justification. It used to be traditional in some countries to offer live human sacrifices to the Gods when launching a new ship. In others it used to be traditional to bury the wife (alive) along side her dead husband, or to include her on the funeral pyre.
