Arguments Against Whaling

Before I begin my thesis on the exemption for whaling, I would like to state my opinion against this case. This violates the rights to preserve an endangered species that is being hunted to profit for companies that do not care about the future of species on the planet. Affecting the entire ecosystem.

Some countries like Norway and Japan as well as small communities have hunted whales for generations. But for many generations this was the way the inhabitants of those countries met to feed themselves. However due to the technological advances that we have today this hunting has become something not necessary due to other alternatives.

In 1986, in response to the reduction of the whale population and the growing repudiation of the practice,
The question of the sustainability of this type of practice must be confronted. Due to the difficulty of estimating precisely the number of whales today, it is not possible to stipulate a number for hunting of an increasingly rare species.

I understand by concept of cultural activity a, the way sociology is concerned with understanding the aspects learned in social contact, acquired throughout their coexistence. I don't disagree from the point of view of the nations wanting to defend as justification in their cultural activity, but this can not pass over an endangered species.

It's hard to believe that at the present time there is an economic impact on small fishing villages. And the reason for my justification is somewhat obvious. Small villages have no boats capable of going down into the depths to find where whales currently live. This justification is a lie, as it further harms small fishing villages.

There are already enough threats in the world for the survival of whales, so we should not add any more, such as hunting. We must act as soon as possible to reduce threats to whales such as pollution, underwater sounds and sonar, ship strikes, climate change and fishing nets rather than spending time discussing whale quotas that can be
