SAVING THE WHALE
Time is running out for the world’s whales. Every 15 minutes, a large whale falls prey to man somewhere. Each year, between 300,000 and 500,000 whales die if we include the smaller whale species and dolphins. But does this really matter? Why bother about whales? WWF believes that many kinds of whales will disappear for ever unless the killing is controlled. With many other organizations it thinks there should be a ten-year ban on the killing of whales.
