They aren't at the moment.
1. People are hunting and killing whales off faster than they're being replaced through natural increase (births that lead to adults) 2. Whales are losing habitat due to environmental change and degradation, such as global warming.
Whales are as a matter of fact becoming extinct and this is because of things such as; commercial whaling and over fishing.

No one knows exactly how many animals have gone extinct, because the fossil records only are the preserved remains of a mere fraction of the animals that ever lived, because the formation of fossils has to occur in such specific conditions. However, scientists where able to estimate that about 99.9% of all of the animals that have ever lived on this planet have gone extinct. False most of the animals that had lived on this Earth or still do are becoming or became exticnt, many reasons and it is at least 85% of the animals that are exticnt. Mostly cased by polution, global warming, abuse, the ozone layer, fossil fuel, and CFC molecules.)
Yes, that is the general consensus in marine biology community.
B/c they could make money from it.
There are so few of the species remaining that they may become exticnt
