Nordic Committee on Bioethics » Blog Archive » Hunting and Protecting of Marine Mammals - a Clash of Cultures?: "Why has hunting and protection of marine mammals become an ethical dilemma? Some people argue that hunting whales inevitably leads to endangered stocks. Others argue that the hunting of whales is itself ethically unacceptable, because whales are high-ranking animals and the methods used to kill whales are old fashioned and inhumane. The hunting of large mammals is however not the only issue that generates debate. Scientific research has revealed that pollutants are threatening marine life. This pollution can also be a threat to marine mammals. Pollution of the sea and global warming derives from human actions in modern societies that strive for constant growth in production"
