Entanglement is more deadly to female whales. This is because they need a higher storage of fat for reproduction and nursing their young. If a female gets entangled…

position on permitting the hunting of non-endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption? I do not agree with their position on permitting the hunting of whales as a cultural exemption.
