They're not aline, they're one of 2 really. It is a bit overblown, but most of the species are either threatened or near threatened, depending on the list. It's not great to over hunt them, which is why the IWC was made. Most whales are on the road to recovery, which is good.
As I said, it's a bit overblown, but people tend to get that way about conservation

I mean, not many other countries whale at at. Canada, Iceland, Japan, Norway, Russia, South Korea, the United States and the Danish dependencies of the Faroe Islands and Greenland are the only ones that do in modern times. Most of those are aboriginal whaling as well, meaning done by the natives of the lands. Commercial hunting is only done by Norway, Japan, Iceland, and South Korea.
Japan and Norway constitute 82% of that commercial whaling roughly.
Blue whales, as of now, are not hunted. The Internationak Whaling Commission has had a moratorium on hunting them and other great whales since 1985.
So yeah, its mostly Japan and Norway lol.

Yes, dams kill some. But that amount (with technology and design) has shrunk dramatically, and global warming fish issues have just kept on rising.

Depends on the state. Where I live (Oregon), we do retrofit. But we're a pretty pro-fish and nature state.

Ah, gotcha. Japan still outstrips them there, too, sadly. And China still isn't even on the top 10 salmon producers. It's almost all Norway and Chile.

They do, but over the last 50 years, we've developed vastly better dams and systems to help offset their effects. I wouldn't say dams don't reduce salmon population, but it's I'm the 5-10% range, as opposed to global warming which has pushed the 15-20% mark already, and is likely to continue to increase.

China doesn't really hunt whales. Japan still does, though.

The dams aren't killing the salmon. It's the rising global temperature.

I love that I can read every word of that sentence and yet understand none of it. Thankfully, you included basketball shapped marker points, and Google exists. I will attempt to forget this information immediately.
