Why is Whaling a Problem?
Whaling is a problem because it's destroying many of the majestic species in our planet. The hunting of whales has led some species to the brink of extinction. Due to the killing of many whale's the rest have now gained protection from the government, but studies of Japanese markets show that some of the legal whale meat is in fact rare blue whale. It is also pointless to hunt whales as there are other products like plastic that replaces the whale bone. For example, whale oil can be replaced with beeswax. Of the once abundant Right-whales 295 remain and of the 5000 Beluga, there are now 500. But prehaps the rarest is the blue whale with fewer than 100 remaining. Humans are also depleting oceans of krill, which are the whales main source of food. If we do not stop this now, will our next genaration live to see whales?
