Briefing paper :
Whale Sanctuary Under Siege |
| 14 December 2005 - Established in 1994, the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary is under siege like never before. This year, nearly one thousand whales can expect to find no quarter or refuge in the protected waters around the Antarctic. They will be hunted down and killed in the name of science; they will be measured, weighed, cut up and boxed for market, all too often simply remaining on the freezer shelves because so few people relish the taste of whale meat. |

Briefing paper :

| 14 December 2005 - Call me Ishmael...! Whaling folklore speaks of tradition, of the noble hunt, of man pitting his wits against the ferocious sea and againist mightly intelligent leviathans. But the history of whaling is far from glamorous, far from something to look back at through rose-tinted spectacles. It is a bloody tale of persecution, greed and stupidity, nowhere more so than in the waters encircling Antarctica. |
