This decade may go down In history as marking the extinction of the Blue Whale, the largest animal ever to inhabit the earth. The numerous species of cetaceans are hunted for their flesh, the oil extracted from their blubber, their very elastic whalebone, and for ambergris and spermaceti.
This programme takes an imaginative look at the hard facts concerning the continuing killing of whales, and gives an impression of the beauty, importance and intelligence of those massive mammals constantly under the threat of the harpoon and extinction.
