Over the years, the number of whales has dropped a lot. From 1946 to 1986, about 340,000 whales were killed. People worry that children in the future can only see whales in pictures. They believe all kinds of whaling (whale hunting) should be stopped before it is too late.
People around the world are trying to stop whaling, but they have forgotten one fact: Whaling has been going on for a long time before it became a problem. Whaling started more than 1,500 years ago. For tribes (groups of people living together), it was a way to live. The local soil was not good for growing crops, so they killed whales to get meat. They also used whale fat to make candles or oil for lamps. For a long time, whaling was not just a way to live, but part of who they were.
Tribal whaling is not what we should worry about. Only 10% of the whales killed in the last forty years were from tribal whaling. The other 90% died from commercial whaling (whaling to make money). When we try to stop all kinds of whaling, we should think about what we are asking tribes to give up. Is this really the best answer to the whaling problem?
