Whaling

What Is Whaling?

Whaling is the practice of hunting whales for their meat, oil, and other products. It is a centuries-old practice that has been used by many cultures around the world. Whaling has been a major source of food and economic activity for many coastal communities, and it has also been a source of controversy due to the potential for over-exploitation of whale populations. Today, whaling is regulated by international agreements and is largely limited to subsistence hunting by indigenous peoples.
