Special E23: The truth about scientific whaling
 For this special episode whales -online brings you an with Philippa Brakes, Senior Biologist with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society. Both Philippa and WDCS have been involved in the campaign to stop whaling for a considerable amount of time.

This isn’t about science – it is about making money, but even that isn’t being done very well.
