should whale hunting be banned or allowed?

Question

do you think hunting whales is good or bad

Answer 1

it is a terrible way of killing an Animal in the first place
personally i think that overpopulation is one of the biggest problems
and this should be adressed ,and i am in favor of bringing back human sacrifice every full moon .
we could use the remains to compost the fields that farmers have destroyed wih their mono cultures and if everybody co operated all over the world it could just turn the balance.and its a much more dignified way of bringing down the numbers that bombing and war
we would have happier gods ,and less people who might want to go hunting for anything ,

hunting is of the past ,
today the fauna is in critical condition all over the globe and we are witness to the first mass exstinction of flora and fauna ,since the dinosaurs
species that are detremental to eco systems like the whales,
so banned is the answer

Answer 2

There is not real market for Whale products. In Japan Whale meat is losing popularity with the price decending from $15 per lb to $12 with 20% of the yearly take being frozen due to failure to sell (although the whales are supposedly only killed for scientific purposes). Whales are still not at high levels although those who support whaling claim they are. They are starting to recover but are incapable at this time of sustaining a policy of whaling.

Answer 3

is this for 'science in the news'? lol.
umm banned - more evidence for banning it.
social implications - moral issues over the time it takes whales to die. some take over one hour.
if it was banned, the people whose way of life was hunting whales could instead train in tourism. lots of tourists would come whale watching.
but if it was banned the food chain would change.
hope that was of some help.

Answer 4

What we used to get from whale hunting has now been replaced by synthetic products or other resources. So whale hunting isn't really necessary any more.

Answer 5

As long as the whale populations are healthy and sustainable there is nothing wrong with a whale harvest. Over hunting is not good for people or whales, but proper management of whale populations is.

Answer 6

i think hunting whales is totally barbaric the pain those whales go through must be unbearable in this day and age there really is no need for it so i think it should be BANNED

Answer 7

Allowed in a controlled manner. I happen to like whale meat.
