Simply being "not as bad" does not make it "good."
This is just providing masculine jobs for guys who won't do anything else, while enriching the terrible people who employ them. There's no use to whaling.
I very intentionally did not say that whaling is good, because it's not. However, I believe that it is hypocritical to call for the banning of Icelandic whaling without also applying the same zeal to banning other forms of harmful commercial seafood, and that whaling is somewhat used to distract from the harms of more "normal" seafood.
