1. Why do they do it? 2. Could it cause them to become endangered? 3. What have we done to try to stop it? 4. Which breed is the most hunted? 5. How many whales get killed a year? 6. Where are there sancturies? 7. What is the history of whaling? 8. What equipment do they use to hunt the whales? 9. Does the whaling effect the environment around it? 10. What can we do to help? __ Japanese Whaling __ 7. __What is the history of whaling?__ Whaling has been going on for a long time (since prehistoric times) and many things have changed since then, the way they hunt, what they hunt with and what they do with the whale. One method of whaling was to frighten them to the shore so they would beach them selves so they can then kill them. Another method is to tie a semi floating object like a wooden drum to them to tire them so they were easier to kill. We are lucky today none of these methods are still used today. __Does the whaling effect the enviroment around it?__ Whaling has a big impact on the enviroment, the more the whales get hunted the more the numbers go down, so that means a bigger risk of exstinction which is not just bad for the whales it effects the whole food chain and with the whole food chain corrupted the more chance of of extinction of other animals. So it does affect the environment around it. ==== __What can we do to help?__ Just like the people at greenpeace you can do your part protesting to get the awarness up, but the littlest things you do can help, like talking to people about it, or donating money to greenpeace can help in the biggest way. ==== References - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**Whaling** [|www.greenpeace.org] [|www.bigvolcano.com.au/human/]**whaling** [|www.environment.gov.au/coasts/species]
