This book has been sponsored <strong>and</strong> promoted by the World <strong>Society</strong> for the Protection of Animals<br />
(WSPA) <strong>and</strong> other animal welfare non-governmental organisations to stimulate <strong>and</strong> promote public<br />
debate on cruelty issues which may arise within whaling operations, to ensure that any unnecessary<br />
suffering or cruelty is prevented. WSPA is established as a charitable body in the UK to prevent <strong>and</strong><br />
alleviate the suffering of animals <strong>and</strong> believes that current whaling practices often involve unnecessary<br />
suffering <strong>and</strong> cruelty which should be avoided. Hopefully, this work will assist in highlighting those<br />
issues so as to enable members of the public to have a more informed view on whaling operations<br />
<strong>and</strong> the potential cruelty to which those operations give rise.<br />
