It's a matter of the nature of whales and what over fishing will do to their numbers (regardless of the breed).

Who said they would be overfished (well over hunted)? Where did you glean this information?
If there is a sustainable number which can be harvested without endangering the species then there is no argument to not hunt them besides not liking the practice itself.
I see a lot of emotionalism, Pans post being a classic example of it, but no 'facts' beyond that.
