Whaling is the process in which people kill whales. For materials such as, oil, meat, and blubber. Some people that whaling is not a harmful activity, but it is not a good activity. Whaling is illegal in some countries but I think that it should be illegal in all of the states.

There is many invasive that need to be killed. Such as http://ocean.si.edu/ocean-news/5-invasive-species-you-should-know such as the sea walnut, killer algae, green crab, Veined Rapa Whelk, and Zebra Mussel.

Whales have been on earth about 50 million year. And now we decide to kill the whales. We have not been on earth as long whales. At first it was a need because it is a food source.

This activity for others is not a need for food it is a need for something

    Making a Splash: The Practice of Profiting from Whales Based on what we know today about the effects of holding and breeding whales in captivity for the sole purpose of making a profit, it is no longer acceptable in today’s society to allow this archaic practice to continue at places like SeaWorld under false pretenses. The release of the documentary “Blackfish” has raised questions on the treatment of Orca whales in particular, illustrating the inhumane conditions and treatment of these animals, which are exploited for their intelligence and used in performances for thousands of spectators annually. One of the most concerning indicators of this mistreatment has been the death of a number of the Orca trainers at SeaWorld in recent years. Taking…

    The premier of Western Australia, Colin Barnett, had announced the shark culling policy in 2014 in response to the shark attack fatalities.
