I would imagine you can get whip skills but a lot of the other skills depended on working the the animals so I don't think it would be possible to get them from using the whip alone.
Yea u can get whipping skills, but thats only to dmg the mob so that it can be tamed (no clue how taming used to function, newer player)

I was under the impression that Scanning didn't go to any professions..... :s
Whip skills also contribute 8% to the Animal Tamer profession, so if you want to get ready for the reintroduction of taming, go ahead and grab that whip.
As mentioned, scanning gives zoology which contributes 13% to Animal Tamer profession. However, zoology is only 2% of the Animal Investigator profession, so it won't skill very fast for you.
