Description

A Whale for the Killing by Farley Mowat. When an 80-ton Fin Whale became trapped in a Newfoundland lagoon, conservationist Farley Mowat rejoiced; here was the first chance to study at close range one of the most magnificent animals in creation. Some local villagers thought otherwise. They blasted the whale with rifle fire and hacked open her back with a motorboat propeller. Mowat appealed desperately to the police, to marine biologist, finally to the Canadian press. But he was too late. Ravaged by an infection resulting from her massive wounds, the whale died.... The book has light general wear with tanned pages and small creases but the binding remains tight.
