To me - whaling is wrong.
And it's not so much of my responsibility to prove that it is. The ones that want to commit any act of taking a life should be able to provide justification for doing it.
Some cultures have a tradition of whaling. So what? Cultures change and develop. If they want to stick with their tradition of whaling then do it the traditional way. Lose all the modern technology in the process. How traditional is that? And it does affect the catch numbers greatly.
Why would you need to hunt down a thousand of whales in the name of science? Are they making them participate in an opinion poll of some sort? A market research and analysis? What?
