And why would placing a limit on their being hunted be any less objectionable (on the claim of cultural arrogance) then continuing the current total ban?


I think the point is that now there are only a couple of cultures that want to hunt whales. Additional cultures aren't likely to develop the custom of eating whale. Can you imagine a whale burger under the golden arches? So the cultural interests of those couple of countries could be satisfied without making a significant dent in the population of those whale species that have recovered. A win-win, of sorts.
