Why Whaling Should Be Banned

Whales have been hunted by humans for their meet, bones and blubber.Whaling, during the 19th century, wiped out more or less of the worlds whale populations.Whales grow and breed slowly numbers will take a long time to recover. This means that they will more easily baffle more extinct.InformationThe International Whaling Commission (IWC) banned whaling in 1986.There are some countries that issue permits to kill whales for research Japan uses this to hunt whales and the meat from their research. The Japanese whaling volume left for the Antarctic in December 2006, with the intention of killing 850 Minke whales and 10 fin whales.Whales are hunted for their Liver oil colour * Skin Belts/ shoes/ handbags and luggageBone living organism feed and fertilisersTeeth buttons/ piano keys and jewellery Why?1. Lots of different types of whales are hunted, includingRight Whale It was considered the perfect whale to hunt because it had lots of blubber for oil lamps (that is why it is called Right whale. )Blue Whale Considered too dangerous to hunt mostly, but some of the more brave hunters went after this whale because, it is bigger and so it provides more blubber, meat and bone. Arguments against Whaling Anti-whaling extremists claim that the whale is an intelligent mammal, that is able to whole tone irritation the same way humans do, and that they should be treated as humans. Those funding whaling think that, and claims that man is above the whales and man has been put on this earth by God to maintain the natural resources, in which includes the lords of the sea, the whales.Maintain meaning both make sure they dont become extinct but as masters of this earth, we are allowed to hunt them. Whaling is a tradition, especially in Norway, but in any case in other countries, like Japan, and for some, keeping traditions alive is real important. The strongest argument against whaling is simply the pain it has to go through. As stated above, anti-whalers say that the w hale feels pain the same way humans do, and when a harpoon hits a whale, it might take up to 10 minutes before it is dead. If the whale is dead 10 seconds after impact with the harpoon, the whale is killed instantly, they claim, but this is rare.In 1996, whaling-inspectors reported that the average time the whale had to suffer rated from 4-6 minutes. But that is just the killing process. Before you can defeat the whale, you have to find the whale, and because the whale is only up to breathe a couple of seconds the shooter has 2-3 seconds to fire. Anti-whalers say that the hunting, which may take up to several hours, must(prenominal) scare the whale, and they want us to imagine the fright the whale must feel when being hunted. There is no question nigh it, whaling provides work, and whaling provides meat.Whale meat is very popular in Norway, but Norway also has a big surplus of meat ever year, so why keep hunting whale? Sure, whalers say, Norway has a big surplus of meat, but whal e meat is considered a luxury. Its expensive and its tasteful. It seems, anti-whalers want to bring us back to the idea about man being equal to animals when they want us to imagine the pain the whale must go through, and try to imagine what we, as humans would feel if we were being hunted like that. Whalers do it for the money, and for them it is a tradition. There grandfathers have been doing it for several hundred years, so why stop now.In 1996 there were 110000 whales in the Atlantic, and it was wiped from the list of endangered species. There is no question about it whalers also do it for the provocation and the media attention.Reasons for WhalingWhaling provides workWhaling provides meat.Whale meat is very popular in NorwayWhale meat is considered a luxury.Its expensive and its tasteful.Product of Whale The main source of these products comes from the Sperm Whale and the Right Whaling
