I'm definitely not FOR hunting whales. At the same time, I'm hesitant to apply my values to people in other parts of the world who don't live with the same cultural norms.    There's no reason for people in an industrialized modern country to hunt whales. We have other things to eat, we have substitutes for every single product that has once come from a whale. For people who live in Europe and Asian, who don't live in a modern way and rely on whale hunting as a main source of food/materials, I think they should be given a pass but should not be able to sell the products of hunted whales outside their community.    That being said, if someone from one of those tribal societies leaves and moves to an area where they adopt a modern/industrialized standard of living, they would not be allowed to hunt whales (ex. a transplant family could not start a whaling business) or possess whale products.
