is okay to kill whales for sport‚ but I think that it is wrong‚ because the way they are hunted is cruel‚ we don’t even really use the materials that come from killing them‚ and many of the whales being hunted nowadays are becoming endangered‚ or are close to extinction. Although some people whale hunt as part of a tradition in their beliefs or religion‚ but I think we should still put and end to it. Whale hunting is a very cruel‚ horrific practice.

whether whaling should be allowed in countries like Japan and Norway is a complex mix of cultural‚ economic‚ and political facets. To me‚ however‚ it is not a difficult question to answer.
