“Anti-whaling nations will battle Monday to maintain control of the International Whaling Commission, with pro-catch countries hoping to dominate the body for the first time in more than 20 years,” reports AFP/Yahoo.
The leading anti-whaling nations are Australia and New Zealand. Their primary foes are Japan, Norway and Iceland.
