Apart from the ... hunting and the killing.
Why even hunt whales in the first place? Sure, it's one big food source when you snag one, but people who have tried whale say it's bland and uninteresting. It's just a bunch of fat. And it takes a lot of effort to kill it, haul it, parse it out, etc.
Fish farms give you much more good quality meat without all of the species endangerment.

If people knew how fucking easy it was to create different perfume/cologne scents and the markup for each scent, there would be riots in the streets. They can't even be regulated to put their ingredients on their bottles, because it would reveal the secret.
You don't need "rare whale vomit" to make a goddamn perfume.
