The Resumption of Whaling by Norway and America's Attitude Towards Whaling

The Resumption of Whaling by Norway and America's Attitude Towards Whaling

The following paper is about the resumption of whaling by Norway with a

focus on the

American attitude towards whaling in general. Whaling is a very sensitive issue

for many

people, including myself. There are many people who feel that whales are

highly

intelligent mammals, akin to humanity in many ways. They cite the fact that

whales mate

for life, the size of the average whales brain, and the proof that whales

communicate with

one another ; all of these traits they share with us. The anti-whaling people feel

that to

kill whales for their meat or oil, would be like killing people for their meat or

oil.
