DJ chipped & with short tears, tape stain lower front corner. Top page edges a little soiled ; A tight solid book, dust jacket in Mylar, unclipped. Map endpapers ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 239 pages; "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 biologists, finally to the Canadian press. But it was too late. Ravaged by an infection resulting from her massive wounds, the whale died."World-renowned for his passionate tales of survival, Farley Mowat wrote this book to symbolize the plight of all whales preyed on by man for commercial profit. A Whale for the Killing is an urgent, eloquent plea to stop the massacre now.before the entire species is doomed to extinction."
