    They mostly die a long way from your beaches. The populations seem to be recovering from the over-fishing which decimated them when whaling was popular, but they aren't up to healthy levels yet - at least in terms of whale genetic diversity. Oddly
    enough, killer whales (which we didn't hunt) have the worst problem there - they don't seem to get around enough.

    The whaling eliminated the adult mentoring the juveniles receive in a natural setting, producing a generation of ill-behaved whales. Same thing happens with other species.

    Once again you give us the ignorant-moron's-eye-view of the phenomenon. The behavior I described is well documented in mammals, and by scientists who know far more about it than you're capable of assimilating.

    Not that you can post a link to the documents, which you have presumably misunderstood.

    If there are young whales that need parenting, there are parents around.

    Their own parents might have been killed off by whalers. but if the whalers had done a complete job the species would be extinct
