As long as there are still whaling ships in the oceans, there will be groups out there attempting to stop them. Anti-whaling activists and organisations don't like that Iceland, Japan and Norway still continue to hunt the sea creatures.
At times, non-whaling countries find themselves in heated fights over what to do about Whaling. Every winter, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society endures freezing temperatures and roaring waves as they head out to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to confront Japanese ships.Not everyone in Japan wants to continue the country's tradition. Even pro-whalers in Japan admit there is a challenge convincing the younger generation to support whaling. The younger generation does not look at whales as a source of food but more so as a creature that needs to be protected before the action of whaling causes them to go extinct. The three countries still participating in whaling (Japan, Iceland and Norway) wanted to lift the ban set by the IWC on commercial whaling. If this was to happen then they would have agreed to decrease the amounts of whales they kill. Despite this, the majority of the IWC nations and global organisations who are anti-whaling refused to go along with the proposal as it would allow commercial whaling to be legalised and then they would have no say as to what would happen to our wildlife who call the ocean home. At this point in time, commercial whaling is still prohibited.
The issue of whaling is still one that is raising many concerns on a global scale and is far from being settled. For as long as whaling nations are allowed to hunt whales, they will continue to do the deed. But there will be a numerous amount of attempts to stop them every step of the way, no matter what it takes from anti-whaling organisations. These organisations will keep fighting to ensure that whales will never again be hunted and killed for a persons financial gain.
