00:15years ago there has been an ongoing competition for territory resources and survival one thing
00:24that all of these animals have in common is that we stopped killing them we stopped killing them and
00:30they came back a number of whales were hunted to near extinction blue notably were reduced by
00:40about 90% and then whalers moved on to Finn and Minky is there a possibility that attention to
00:52certain species could overshadow the needs of others the organizations particularly Greenpeace
00:59realized that whales were a big money spinner the topic of whales and whaling has created
01:06considerable division within contemporary society I think the environmental movement as a whole grew
01:13out of people's love of the environment and there's no doubt there's some populations of whales
01:22that could sustain a very carefully managed harvest the world needs to get to grips with how we stop
01:33mining fish and go back to fishing fish
01:38fish we always need to look at history and we need to look at where we've come from to know
01:51where
01:52where we're going
