In conclusion , commercial whaling is a gruesome operation . It greatly impacts the environment in many negative ways . However , it can be stopped through pressuring whalers and putting bans on whaling . Commercial whaling pushed whales into endangerment . Most were very close to becoming extinct . At the last minute , the IWC stepped in to try to save all of the whales . Because of the ban , the whales are still recovering , too , and most species are having an extremely hard time doing it . However , the battle isn ’ t over yet . Japan and Norway are suspected of still having whalers . Commercial whaling has caused a lot of damage to our environment , and I think it ’ s time we fixed it . Please , help stop commercial whaling . You can make a big difference . Join the fight .
