Men, Nations and Whales
Will the bloody story ever end? An opportunity to hear again the winning radio documentary in the ecology category of this year's Prix Italia.
For the first time since 2000 Be there has been the prospect of an end to commercial whaling and the beginning of an unprecedented relationship between man and another animal. The present five-year moratorium, though, has not stopped the slaughter, for diehards use loopholes in the International Whaling
Commission regulations to keep on killing.
Will the Commission survive its current political tensions and if it breaks up under the strain, will there be a free-for-all in the seas?.
