They have more offspring because they are being bred and raised by humans to do so.

So they can be eaten.

Thanks for making my case.

[worst-case scenario]

Okay, I’ll call them “offspring.” The point is the same. Animals are bred by humans. They have more offspring because humans have bred them to be that way - more fertile than their wild counterparts.

Whales are NOT bred by humans. They live in the wild. Killing more of them will NOT result in them having more offspring.

Killing animals does NOT make them more fertile. There is NO connection.
