Whaling


What I already know:
What I want to know:
What I learned:
People kill whales for food and blubber.
They use the blubber and other stuff from the whale to make lipsticks and medicines.
They kill them with spears and harpoons.

How do they get whales to shore since they are so big and heavy?




What do us kiwis think about whaling?


How many whales are killed from whaling a year?
They catch them then pull them up onto the boat using ropes, or they tie them to  the side of the boat and drag them to shore.


Us kiwis allow Japan to come here and whale.


About 7400 whales are killed a year from whaling, thats about 20 whales killed each day.






People don’t just use the whales for food, lipsticks and medicines. They also use them for soap, clothes, shoelaces, teeth necklaces and bracelets.
