Commercial whaling is one of the most environmentally destructive practices of all time and was responsible in the last century for taking many of the whale’s populations to the brink of extinction. Whaling has dated back to at least 3,000 BC. They are mainly hunted for meat and oil, which is causing them to be an endangered species. I do respect the countries that hunt them, but there’s really no point in hunting them anymore. There aren’t any whale products that are economically significant anymore.
As technology improved, hunting whales became much easier. There for, it made the whale’s population to decline. For example, there used to be 220,000 blue whales out in the sea but now it’s no more than 500. In addition, hunting bigger whales was harder to find they started hunting whales like the Minke’s .The Minke whales weren’t hunted until the 70’s, when they had a population of over one million but now it’s down to 250,000.
People that hunts whale does it for many purposes. One reason that they hunt them is for their meat, it is used to feed the people in their country and keeping them from starving. In addition, they hunt them for oil. Also, commercial whaling makes it possible for more fishes in the water since, whales eat 10kg of fish per kilogram of body mass. There for, whaling benefits them by making jobs and employing citizens.
Whalers were well aware that the numbers of whales on which they were dependent were dwindling as far back as 1946 when the IWC was first formed. The whaling industry continued to take far more whales than the populations could withstand, because its primary concern was with making a profit. In addition, in 1986 the IWC banned commercial whaling. In addition, the Japanese got a permit to hunt whales for “scientific purposes” which defeated the purpose of banning commercial whaling. Then, in 2010 they had a meeting where they passed the law to hunt whales but to a significant amount.
The case against commercial whaling is compelling since, it’s impossible to safeguard most of the whales because the whalers would overhunt them and claim to be using them for “scientific purposes”. Whaling can be stopped, there’s other ways to obtain food, rather than hunting whales. For example, they can start farming more animals because they are faster to replenish. Also, they can start planting more crops, which will lead to more employment in the Agriculture field. There for, they can get oil from other sources. Also, commercial whaling should be stopped completely because the whales are coming to a brink of extinction, where they are almost completely wiped out of the planet. There for, there’s no need to hunt whales because there are a lot of other ways we can find sources in replace to hunt whales.
