If this amazing animal, the largest ever to exist on the planet, cannot be saved from the ruthless exploitation of a handful of men, what chance of survival have other species? The men who hunt the whale are few, but they are men of influence. Not bad or evil, but just determined and refusing in the face of everything to see or believe what the consequences of their actions are. They call it honest industry; a work ethic that would stop the heart of all life on the planet if some means might be found to profit by it.
