Maintaining the natural balance
As I said in class, I have no problem with the hunting of whales in general. The thing that I have a problem is with the unregulated, and oftentimes selfish, hunting of whales for no purpose other than to make money. Hunting has, and always will be, a large part of society, and there is no denying that. While humans have perfected the art better than any other species, we must not forget that every other species hunts in it's own way. In my opinion, a mustang grazing is no different than a lion hunting, and then consuming, an gazelle. Both animals are just doing what instinct and hunger has driven them to do. However, there is a big difference between an animals hunting in order to feed themselves and others, and not hunting again until required, and whalers hunting, regardless of how much whale meat they already have aboard their ship, and how much is required to feed those they are hunting for. I think the key to conservation is keeping an eye on the natural balance of things, and making sure that nothing is hunted too much, or too little. If international regulation is the only way to achieve this, than I think that is our best option. Past experience has shown that some countries can not be trusted to regulate themselves, when greed is such an influential factor.
