If you haven't heard yet, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) will meet in Morocco this June where the participating nations will discuss a proposal to resume commercial whaling. Yes, this is the same IWC made infamous by The Cove. If you consider the outcomes at CITES last month, the IWC's track record and the fact that America is endorsing the proposal, the future looks bleak for protected whales.
