world, whaling and/or the harvesting of whales for meat processing, oils, cosmetics and a variety of other uses seems to have continued unabated. For example, whaling is still taking place
in countries like Norway, and whale products are consumed in Japan on a regular basis, despite laws outlawing most of this activity. This paper will explore why whaling and other
related "human" factors, such as pollution, global warming, and human produced ocean noise, have led to the virtual extinction of whales and why it is necessary to stop such processes,
why it is necessary that we have whales. History of Whaling Basically, whaling is the taking and processing of whales for commercial products, especially animal oils and meat. The
