    The impetus behind whaling was the need for whale oil. When petroleum
    use began, whale oil was no longer needed for cheap lighting, etc. 
    Where whale products are still of economic value (e.g., whale meat in
    Japan) the killing goes on. General horror is far less powerful than
    money. A rather nasty species, aren't we?
