Lastly, some argue that whaling is done, and should be allowed, by cultures that have held whaling as part of their traditions and use the meat merely for local substance. This is the case that has been use to justify Canadian whaling for example; however, these “cultural groups” sell the meat on the commercial market which again makes it clear that the whales are not important in any cultural since and that they are seeking money, not survival.
All of the scientific evidence available, and the plain simple reality of the situation shows us that not only is whaling and cruel and violent practice but it is both unnecessary and unjustifiable. When you look at all of the arguments made by whalers one thing is clear, they are driven by power, by money, and will pursue both in the ruthless and bloodiest ways possible until every whale is eliminated from the earth.
