There are no pros, so most nations just don't do it.

The Antarctic treaty prohibits whaling south of 60 degrees South Latitude. There are nations that violate the treaty, and recourse waits.

There are many reasons against whaling. The primary reasons include ethical and humanitarian grounds that highly advanced marine mammals such as whales and porpoises are intelligent and sentient life forms. They are also highly endangered by human activity (such as whaling and fishing itself). Whaling on these grounds is cruelty and risks destroying other intelligent life on Earth to unnecessary extinction.

The disadvantage is that it kills whales which are harmless, intelligent creatures.

Also, in the past whaling has drastically reduced numbers of whales and threatened their survival as species.

Whales will be killed, they will become extinct. For that we lose precious animals and for many people whales are our favorite creatures.

First of all, it's animal cruelty. People are OVERkilling whales. On top of the fact that you're killing animals for fun or just for your own personal use, it's just mean and awful and violent. How would you like it if someone killed you and all of your family and friends just because they wanted to? Or for products that aren't necessary to live?

Whaling is universally frowned upon among professional zoologists. Whaling is very lucrative financially, but is destructive, dangerous, and perhaps even immoral.

The worst scenario would be that it could cause the species to go extinct. This could throw off the whole ecosystem.
