Greenpeace Voyages to Save the Whale
Introduced by David Attenborough
Since the heroic adventures with Moby Dick {the great white sperm whale), man's attitude to whales and whaling has changed greatly. Now there is strong sympathy for these gentle giants. But whaling still goes on. Over 25,000 whales were killed last season and Britain imported about 8,500 metric tons of sperm whale oil, resulting in the death of some 2,500 whales. Tomorrow the International Whaling Commission meets to decide the quota each nation can catch next season.
This programme is about one group's dramatic efforts to stop the killing before the world runs out of whales.
