De zeezoogdieren zijn gestorven in visnetten of dodelijk verwond door schepen. De bedreigingen waaraan walvisachtigen blootgesteld worden zijn groot. Ieder jaar verdrinken er maar liefst driehonderdduizend walvissen en dolfijnen in visnetten. Greenpeace wil dat Nederland een voortrekkersrol inneemt bij de bescherming van de walvissen en dolfijnen, zowel in Europees verband als binnen de Internationale Walvisvaartcommissie (IWC), die deze week van start is gegaan.Locations:Europe-Netherlands-The HagueDate:29 May, 2007Credit:© Greenpeace / Joël van HoudtMaximum size:4368px X 2912pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Cetaceans-Commercial fishing-Death-Dolphins-Driftnet fishing-International Whaling Commission (IWC)-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Outdoors-Whales-WhalingShoot:Action with Whale Corpses in the HagueGreenpeace activists display whales and dolphins that have been drowned in nets and killed by ship strike in front of the Parliament in the Hague.
