Personally I am against commercial whaling but if you want an impartial view I think the taking of whales should not be allowed under the
scientific research provision; instead the ability to take for commercial
purposes certain whale species that are doing ok (
e.g., minke) should be rediscussed within the IWC (again I am not in favor of this but it would better then killing for
scientific research whale species that are endangered [eg, fin, sei whales].
