Whaling

Whaling is basically the practice of hunting and killing of whale. This word also refers to the industry of killing whales for their oil, bones and meat. Whaling is at times known as whale fishing. Whaling first originated back in 3000 BC and commercial whaling developed in late 1890s and early 1900s.

What is the reason for killing whales?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They shouldn't. The human race gains absolutely no benefit from killing whales.

Whales are killed for their bones, which is used to carve wares, and for their flesh, used in (mostly) Asian dishes.

Many whales are protected species, so killing them is a violation of the law. Unfortunately this does not stop people hunting them. The largest culprit of whaling is Japan. International pressure is forcing whaling countries to stop or gradually stop whaling practices. Recently, Iceland was rejected membership to the European Union purely because of its whaling operations. Europe does not want to be associated with such inhuman acts.

Some countries, such as Chile, actually have a portion of their navy patrolling the oceans which are habitats to protected whales, they are given permission to apprehend or engage any ship that attacks a whale.

Whale hunting is highly illegal.

How long did sailors have to be out on a whaling trip?

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the era. During the perk of Yankee open-boat whaling, whaling ships could be gone for 2-4 years. During the modern era, a watch catcher based from a shore station might only be out for a day or two, while pelagic whaling involved being out for several months.

Killing whales is bad because there are very few left today, killing could cause them to become extinct. When a species goes extinct, it often effects the structure and behavior of the environment in which the species lived, as well it is a loss to the culture and extent of biology in our world.

Whales are protected with criminal and civil laws. Unfortunately, there is little to be done to those who are caught killing whales. Most action takes the form of public statements discouraging the behavior.

What are some of the recent news headlines regarding whaling?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some people want to hunt whales for the various things that they can get out of them. Other people know that if they are hunted they will become extinct. The people that want to hunt them use excuses (that do not apply) for the reasons to hunt them, while all the while are only hunting them for the money. That is the issue-money. Most people would not hunt something to extinction just for money. Because whale meat is highly priced.):

How can you help people to stop killing whales?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Killing is a bad thing to do. If that's not obvious to you, you should seek help.

Next answer:

1) There are people who believe that whales (along with dolphins and a handful of other marine mammals) are sentient species (not animals), and that killing them is akin to killing human beings.

2) Also of concern is that some whale species are declining in population, and they don't want the species to die out.

Whether or not either of these facts is correct is the subject of debate. Whales and dolphins can be trained to do complicated tasks, and dolphins have been observed engaging in sophisticated behaviors that suggest a greater-than-expected capacity for reasoning. But there is no evidence of actual self-aware communication between these animals and human beings. That is, they do not "talk" to us in any linguistic sense. Also, they do not have any technological development.

Judging the population size of marine mammals is difficult at best. They roam a great deal, rather than staying confined to one area, and can dive deeply. We cannot scan the entire ocean at once (not even close), so population estimates are just that -- estimates. Similarly, it is difficult to determine if a population is declining or not.

Currently, Seaworld maintains a list of several species that are believed to be very low in number and/or declining.

How many whales have been killed since whaling was banned?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not many. Hunting by humans is the biggest threat to gray whales. Gray Whales have been hunted since the 16th century. Humans have been whaling gray whale species for over 4 decades now. This hunting has significantly reduced the gray whale populations. The north atlantic population of gray whales were totally wiped out due to whaling even before the 19th century. Around 1950, governments worldwide declared the gray whale as an endangered species and banned whaling them
