According to one of the first DDG results, “Mountain gorillas are one of the most endangered animals in the world”.
Supposedly this isn’t the case for the species of whale being hunted and the fishing is actually sustainable, according to other information posted here and on Wikipedia stating there’s a population of 500,000 minke whales and they are on a “least concern” list.
