whaling should be banned because they are Beautiful creatures that are becoming extinct because of us humans be on the other hand they are used for a lot of things. Very few whales of every kind are left. We should protect them.
Not hurt them.
teeth- piano keys,buttons,jewelry
sinews- used for tennis raquets
liver-oil
oil-sperm whale oil taken from bone and skin used for high grade alcohol,shoe cream, lipstick,ointment,crayons, candles, fertilizer, soap, and animal feed
skin- belts, shoes, bags
baleen- umbrellas, horse whips, shoehorn
We can see whales do have a practical use when it comes to using their remnants to create objects to aid us.
Anti-whaling campaigners say that whales are amongst the most intelligent of mammals and it is therefore morally wrong to kill them for food. Most of the research on mammal intelligence has been carried out on Bottle nose dolphins and while they scored highly in some research, it is nearly impossible to duplicate these tests for whales, probably due to the fact their numbers are so small.
With that said, the campaigners must have little evidence as to a whale's intelligence.
I will try to be unbiased in my answer, whaling should be banned because it is causing whale to become endangered and could lead to their extinction, this would be bad because whales fill a niche in the ocean that if left open by their extinction, could have drastic and harmful effects on the ocean's ecosystem
Whaling should be banned for the following reasons, 1) They are a vitial part of the cosystem and hunting them has made their numbers dwindle and 2) killing living things, tearing apart their families, is wrong for the same reasons its wrong to do so with humans.How would you feel if you were the one that your organs would be ripped apart by explosive harpoons,then be shot, and electrocuted.
In my opinion I think it should be. Whales are endangered and a wonderful mammal that when gone will be a loss to the world......NOT.
Not all Whales are endangered.
Some species of whales are indeed endangered and must continue to be protected on a global scale. Examples would be the Blue Whale, Grey Whale, Right Whale. Most whale species were decimated by the Whaling activitires of western countries like Britain. Norway, United States from the 1800s into the 20th century. The US still had a whaling fleet as late as the 1920s. The last Australian whaling station closed in the late 1970s.
However with a world-wide moratorium placed on Commercial Whaling by the IWC since 1982, and greatly reduced whaking that has continued since, some specieas are making a comeback. Of note is the Minke Whale, which is the main target of the Japanese Research Whaling fleet, which is believed to have returned to 700,000
worldwide.
As to whether "Whales are wonderful animals", well, so are cows, pigs, sheep, kangaroos, goats, dogs and any other mammals that are consumed by humans in place or another. Even chickens are wonderful if you raise them yourself rather than buying them in a package at the supermarket.
No.
Whaling is the cruel process of harpooning a whale and dragging it out of the water and then killing it, much to the distress of the animal.
Whale is eaten in some countries, and countries that often practise whaling claim they are using the animal to make medicine or to carry out experiments, but often they are not.
