If they continue whaling and especially if they are allowed to do it on a larger scale, the whales will eventually be gone. Then where will your cultural heritage be. Although I appose any whaling, I could understand letting them hunt a restricted amount once whale populations have risen to a more sustainable level, but we are nowhere close to that and letting any whales be killed for "science" or any other purpose with populations being so low is outrageously irresponsible.
