Fantastic representation of the whaling situation, in a series of interactive graphics from the Humane Society Of The US, the Animal Welfare Institute, and the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society.
WDCS, AWI and HSI have launched an animated online-tool to provide all the facts and figures the public needs to know about whaling. Whaling in the 21st Century and Before shows the total number of whales killed since 1946, the enormous success of the international ban on commercial whaling and continued whaling activities by Iceland, Norway and Japan.
