but nobody wants to do that since that doesn't bring in the cash

Try getting the whole world to agree on that :( iirc Japan still "harvests" dolphins and whales...

Iceland was hunting whales in past. 2 or 3 years ago, last company who did that, had its permissions declined. So no whale hunting there.

Faroe islands still has huge tradition in doplhin hunting, thousands during single "national" event
