natives people doing it in the traditional method without modern technology. I could see. anything else. common.

Iceland, Japan and Norway are the only ones with commercial whaling industries. Greenland, Canada, Russia, US and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines have aboriginal whaling permits. The Faroe Islands claim to do it for that reason too, but it is also not commercial.

But one can be ended much more easily than the other.

I don't approve of killing either of them, but at least cows aren't endangered (or close to being so).

Fin whales, the primary target of Iceland’s whaling industry, are classified ⁠by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as vulnerable.

Norway and Japan also commercially hunt fin whales.

I would have walked out and not given any money to any restaurant that sells cetacean meat.
