Many people believe now that we're living in the 21st century, the future of whales is secure. Yet seven of the 13 great whale species are still endangrered and vulnerable despite decades of legal protection. the sad fact is, spite of an international moratorium, commercial whaling is not only taking place ―it’s growing. Since the moratorium on whaling was put in place by the IWC in 1986, nearly 23000 whales from five species have been killed, largely by Japan and Norway.
In 2002 the Japanese government announced that it wants, for the first time, to kill 50 sei whales a year ―a whale officially listed as endangered by the internationally respected IUCN, the World Conservation Union. This is in addition to the hundreds of minke whales it already plans to kill this year alone as part of its so-called “scientific whaling” program.
