There are a variety of opinions on the topic of Whaling. Many believe that it should be banned while others may depend on it to live their lives daily. Even if someone might believe it is wrong, he or she may need it to survive. Many people's jobs are among the whaling business but some still believe that it does not matter and will not matter because it is immoral.
All large number of people have an anti-whaling attitude. They are usually aware of what really goes on in these oceans and what happens to these whales. They are sympathetic towards the whales because of the pain they must endure from the hunters. The whales are struck by a harpoon, a barbed spearlike missile attached to a long rope which is thrown by a hand or fired by a gun to catch whales or other large sea creatures, that does not completely bring them to death for another ten minutes. Anti-whaling is a big issue that is seen as torture, which is entirely agreeable. Animal's lives should not be pointlessly tarnished for a thrill of excitement or money. I believe we should be grateful for IWC rescuers and be giving them some more help on the sad situation of whaling.
Even after evidence that whaling is a macabre hunt for an animal's live, there are still people that argue that whaling should not be banned around the world. People who are pro-whaling view the situation as if we were dealing with farm animals which is debatable, but it is not the same. Farm animals are needed for food while whales are hunting for products that are rarely ever a necessity. We can still understand why someone must think this way; why save whales and not every other animal who is hunted? This still does not give a valid reason of why we should hunt them. A solid argument that can be made is that there are careers made out of whale hunting. If those jobs were taken away from thousands of people that would be unfair and it would be wrong to leave someone to become impoverished.
Whaling can we seen from more than just one perspective which is why we must respect both sides of the argument.
