What could we do?

   There are many possible solutions that could be looked upon for the problem of whaling.  Substitutes for whaling products are available so it is pointless to hurt an innocent creature when there are other options out there.

   The best solution by far, for the animal's, human's, and environment's sake, would be to ban commercial whaling all together. The IWC (International Whaling Commission) would have to act now and make this ban permanant all throughout the world, not just Japan.

   Another solution to whaling is to reduce the amount of whaling by at least fifty percent. This would very much help any endangered species that are being hunted and it would help the banning process become easier in the future.

   A solution that would help whales extremely, is advertisement. If people knew more of what was going on, it would cause more action in support of anti-whaling. This would educate those in Japan what their 'whalers sanctuary' is really up to inside the Japanese Government. If people knew that whaling is occuring for no reasonable reason, then it would cause more of an outcome. IWC and people who are informed of whaling need to make this issue more public.

  1. All of those solutions are logical and show how serious of an issue whaling is. Hurting innocent animals for no reason at all is cruel, especially and endangered species. It should be banned, and there should be a punishment for anyone who tries to do such a horrible thing. Cutting whaling in half is a great start to saving this species. Advertising would be a great solution because it would be able to inform people who may not know. What kind of advertising would work best though?
