Whaling

Think about it. God created whales and people are killing whales we are not only killing off his creation, we are disrupting the ecosystem.

They asserted their right to hunt whales based on their oral history of whaling being part of their past culture. Whaling by the Makah was suspended earlier because commercial whaling had depleted whale stocks so much. They also asserted that their right to hunt whales was guaranteed by treaty with the US government.

The 1855 Treaty of Neah Bay, states in part: "The right of taking fish and of whaling or sealing at usual and accustomed grounds and stations is further secured to said Indians in common with all citizens of the United States."

They have not only asserted the right but have followed through by taking at least one whale since courts confirmed their right to do so.

Whaling and sealing are considered unacceptable commercial activities in new Zealand.

Because it is considered that the Cetacea are of high intelligence, and thus deserve protecting.

However whales or other Cetacea that become beached irretrievably are humanely put down and buried. The bones of these unfortunates are often recovered, especially for carving by Maori.

The antarctic treaty, which now has 46 nations in it, has 2 main organisations that deal with whaling. Although the treaty do address the Japanese whaling, the main 2 organisations are Greenpeace and Sea Sheperd. These 2 organisations aim to fight the whaling in Antarctica going to many extents.

Sorry I didn't help but if you can get your hands on a book name "Oxford Big Ideas Humanities 2" it has a whole chapter on Antarctica and also about the treaty.

because whales are apart of the marine food chain and is killing the whales means no more whale watching

Melville chose to write about whaling because; Melville was in the industry himself. The industry was so significant because the oil from the whale's blubber was used for lighting and lubrication purposes. Also the bones were used for a variety of purposes that was very useful.

the new England colonies were for fishing and whaling.

The dangerous South American headland around which whaling ships of the 1800s dreaded sailing Is known as Cape Horn. It is the place where the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans meet and is often extremely turbulent.

Really the only way is to not to hunt them and try to conserve them in others like with reducing naval tests which includes launching explosives into the water. Whales are vital in order to maintain the ocean ecosystem and if the whales die then eventually the ocean will die and eventually, a lot of land life will die including humans. This whole thing takes at different paces but at current rate than we can see some whales going extinct by end of century if not then as earliest as 2050.

Some people think it is good for numerouse of reasons. Some examples includes; scientifc research, population control and employment.

Yes, Blue whale hunting was banned in 1966 by the International Whaling Commission. But, by 1970 330,000 blue whales had been caught & killed in the Antarctic, 33,000 in the rest of the Southern Hemisphere, 8,200 in the North Pacific, and 7,000 in the North Atlantic. The largest original population, in the Antarctic, had been reduced to 0.15% its original count.

Whaling became popular in the early U.S. colonies in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, particularly in New England. The demand for whale oil for lighting lamps, as well as for lubrication and soap-making, drove the industry forward. By the mid-18th century, towns like Nantucket and New Bedford emerged as major whaling hubs, contributing significantly to the economy and the development of maritime culture in the region.

It was a dignified and noble profession.

In the 1700s, the average whaling ship typically ranged from 100 to 300 tons in size. These vessels were often around 80 to 100 feet long and designed to be sturdy and seaworthy for long voyages. They carried a crew of anywhere from 20 to 30 men, who would hunt whales primarily for their oil, meat, and baleen. The design and size of these ships evolved as the whaling industry grew, accommodating the increasing demands for whale products.

Two different whaling ships that sailed from Hull are the "Humber" and the "Fame." These vessels were part of Hull's significant whaling industry during the 18th and 19th centuries, contributing to the city's maritime commerce. The ships played crucial roles in hunting whales in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, showcasing Hull's prominence in the whaling trade.

Native Americans shared essential whaling skills with American settlers, including techniques for hunting, processing, and utilizing whales, as well as knowledge of navigation and the coastal environment. They taught settlers how to construct and use whaleboats effectively. After whaling moved to deeper waters, many Native Americans continued to participate in the industry, often taking on roles as skilled crew members or guides, leveraging their extensive maritime expertise. However, their involvement diminished as industrial whaling progressed and the dynamics of the industry changed.
