Whaling: confrontations continue

Article Abstract:

Some species of whale are recovering in numbers, while others are seriously endangered. The International Whaling Commission is threatened by divisions, and Japan still hunts minke whales using 'scientific permits', while Norway also hunts minke whales on a small scale. There is a debate between those who would allow for sustainable whaling, and those who see whaling as wrong except where indigenous populations hunt whales as part of a subsistence culture. The debates on these issues may distract from the need to preserve habitats.
