Supporters of whale hunting often argue that it is a cultural tradition for certain communities, providing food and resources that are integral to their way of life. They claim that sustainable hunting practices can be implemented to ensure that whale populations are not endangered. Additionally, some advocate that regulated hunting can contribute to local economies and promote conservation efforts by fostering a sense of stewardship among local populations. However, this viewpoint is highly contested and hinges on the balance between cultural practices and conservation needs.
Japan and then Norway are the top whale-hunting countries.

To my mind, hunting purely for sport is much worse than hunting for commerce - at least commercial whale hunting has a purpose, to use the whale products. However, I leave it to the experts to calculate whether some species of whale could sustain hunting, some certainly cannot at present.
