The Whaling Issue
4. Whaling Issue
I don’t agree with the Norwegian or Japanese position regarding non-endangered species of whales as a culture exemption. Many nations have strange habit and culture is the reason for that, so we can accept and respect other’s culture as long as it doesn’t affect on something that could make a problem for others. Today we can hear about annual celebration for some Iranian people all over the world, and that is a sad day for them, so they start to hit them self’s tell they bleed in this celebration, as it is a culture habit (a day of mourning & annual celebration of Muharram, 2016). This culture habit is not accepted by most of us, but it has no effect on others or hurt others, so agree or disagree on that would be our private

Culture is the most difficult thing to change and if you need to change that for others there must be a long-term plan and step by step to reach the goal. We can’t just say stop that thing and expect people accept that because they grow on this habit hindered years ago, and when things touch people’s believes it may bring open war. So banning is not the best solution but discussion, and plans could give the best result when we work with them as a friends wanted to solve the issue but not as a big boss. When we explain the whaling consequences on other nations and support our discussion with numbers and reports, we will find some corporation, and it would be a great …show more content…
I mean there must be consequences for my decision, and that must be minimized. So small fishing villages are not the only issue in this case, but there are many challenges, but most are solved. For example, many products were depending on whaling and now replaced with other products came from petroleum. whale products included margarine, gelatin, shoe polish, cosmetics, paint, soap, glue, corset frames, lubricant, candle wax, lighting oil, and of course, whale meat. Many whale oil products were gradually replaced with cheaper petroleum-based (Bagheera, 2016). So, all we need is to find a solution for those affected by the decision could help them survive and make profits

    Using killer whales as entertainment is unfair/inhumane, and not appropriate for others enjoyment because in the film, “Blackfish,” dates back to 1983, where a man is interviewed on capturing Tilikum, who showed emotion while telling his story. Tilikum was taken away from the wild, his mother, and family as a baby whale. As the men were trying to capture Tilikum, the mother and rest of the family were around the boat, calling for each other, and trying to help Tilikum to get away. It is such a sad thing to see or even think about, imagine someone just taking what doesn’t belong to them. The men showed no feelings or emotion on just taking the baby whale away and not even caring. “…killer whales that live in captivity more likely to suffer…

    The first part of the article is all about the effort to stop whaling and how they have come up with a new way of tracing the import/export of whale meat. Then they start talking about how the governments and Japan and Norway have been actively resistant to efforts to inspect their markets and do the testing. Then it is said that some of the other countries think the band on Japan and Norway should be lifted so they can still enjoy whale meat. You read about how the anti- whaling effort has been nearly completely blocked by differences of opinion in the IWC and with the whalers.…

    Whale fishing, also known as whaling, is a traditional fishing activity which existing thousands of years in the world. Fisherman fishing whales, sell of whale meat and oil to make money. With the development of modern fishing technology, industrial fishing gradually replaces a large number of private fishing activities, which made whaling easier and more efficient. Greenpeace International’s data showed “Commercial whaling during the last century decimated most of the world's whale populations. Estimates suggest that between 1925, when the first whaling factory ship was introduced, and 1975, more than 1.5 million whales were killed in total” (“Waling”). World Wildlife Fund stated that there is less than one hundred thousand whales remain in the world, and listed 7 out of the 13 great whale species as endangered animal. Which can proved that industrial fishing is the main reason lead whales endangered.…

    Whaling has been a Japanese tradition, which goes back to prehistoric times, so Japan has a strong historical connection with the sea as a source of food. But there are other countries that used to have such a connection to the sea as well, for example France and the US. Those countries ‘set sail’ to whaling or limited their whale hunts when the IWC put a ban on commercial whaling back in 1986. So Japan has no traditional reason to keep up the whale hunt. A country cannot, or may not keep up something like this just because it is a tradition.…

    I don't even think that the people care about the whales I mean you pull the animals right out of the ocean which is their home and rip them apart from their own family if that happened to me I would be pretty made. Whales in captivity have killed many people so I don’t even think it is safe to put them in captivity, they did not kill anyone in the ocean but now they are because they are in captivity. Whales are so friendly to us they have never done anything to hurt us but, we are hurting them, just…

    While they are not an endangered species, they are hunted mercilessly by the fish industry especially off the coasts of China, Japan and parts of the North Pacific by the Russians (Ivashchenko 73). This extreme hunting has left the oceans with an unknown number of whales and thus, keeping them in facilities such as SeaWorld helps to replenish their numbers. However, since SeaWorld no longer catches or buys wild whales and instead breeds them for the very purpose of continuing the gene pool as Hardgrove describes in his book, it doesn’t help any animals still left in the wild. In fact, having such high numbers in captivity, while still allowing whaling practices to continue, we encourage whaling to go on. We can’t both praise whale captivity, and leave whales in nature to fend for themselves if we are really worried about…

    Hunting whales have been an important part of the culture and survival of the Makah tribe for 1500 years. The Makah claim that that their right to hunt and harvest whales is secured in the treaty of Neah Bay, signed in 1855 by the US. Government. Many Makah feel that their health problems result in some degree, to the loss of their traditional diet of seafood and marine mammal meat. However the American society admires whales as remarkable mammals. Many people are concerned for their suffering during whaling operations and most oppose any form of whaling. They fear that the Makah will sell the meat to japan. The Makah hunt is being used by Japanese and other as evidence that whale populations globally are strong enough to end the ban on commercial whaling.…

    Japan is a proponent of whaling, and stands accused of bending facts to suit its ends as much as anyone. Unfortunately though, many of Japan's accusers outside the scientific community have little understanding of whom or what they are really opposing. I say "unfortunate" not only for misrepresented Japan, but also for the conservation movement which, by spreading misinformation, has stabbed itself in the foot.…

    The viewing of whaling today is almost exactly the same as it was back in the 1800's. But it is viewed that way for a different reason. The reason it is viewed that way is because certain species of whales are on the brink of extinction but the whalers are not taking that into consideration when they are going out and hunting these…

    One of Japan’s excuse for whaling is that it is for “science purposes”. First of all, that excuse for whaling has been proven a lie. Scientists say that Japan’s whaling program is absolutely unscientific. According to International Student Volunteers, whaling is when whales are being harvested of meat, oil, and other products. Whale meat is not used as much as it was after World War 2. In an article from The Sydney Morning Herald called Deep fears drive Japanese whaling, it claims that, “Nor does Japan, a highly developed First World nation, have any need to supplement its supplies of protein with whale meat as it did in the dark days that followed the Second World War. Environmental groups such as Sea Shepherd point out that Japan now holds thousands of tonnes of whale in cold storage.” (Watson 1). This demonstrates that whale meat is not needed if it is just being put into storages. Therefore, whaling is not necessary. In an article from Treehugger called 18% of Grade Schools in Japan Feed Whale to Kids, it explains that nobody wants to buy the whale meat, so the solution was to sell it to schools in Japan. According to the text, it says, “While there's certainly a place for whales in grade schools -- it should be in the students' imagination, not their stomachs.” (Messenger 1). This quote demonstrates that there is no place for whale…

    1.) The key issue here is whaling and whether or not it is something that needs to happen in this day and age. There are many stakeholders that come to mind in the whaling debate. In order to go more in depth with the analysis, I am going to focus on the grindadráp, also known as the grind, in the Faroe Islands. The Grind happens is that during the summer, the Faroese people surround pilot whales with a semicircle of boats, then they drive these whales to shore where the hunters wait to kill them. Sea Shepherd does not believe that this should happen and have gone done to the Faroe Islands to stop it.…

    We should support research on right whales. The right whale is seriously endangered. Less than 500 right whales are alive today. Commercial whaling accounted for the deaths of millions of whales in the past. These numbers include the right whale. Whaling in our waters is now forbidden. The remaining whales are still at risk.…
