O knihe
Whaling is the hunting of whales which dates back to at least 3,000 BC. The evolution of traditional Arctic whaling developed with increasing rapidity by early organized fleets in the 17th century; competitive national whaling industries in the 18th and 19th centuries; and the introduction of factory ships along with the concept of whale "harvesting" in the first half of the 20th century. In the late 1930s more than 50,000 whales were killed annually. Modern whaling began in 1946 with the formation of an International Whaling Commission (IWC) for its consensus-based emphasis on conservation, resource management, and international cooperative standards. Contemporary arguments for and against whaling are the subjects of ongoing contention. Greenpeace and other environmental groups dispute the various claims of scientific research "as a disguise for commercial whaling, which is banned" by the IWC's moratorium in 1986.
