antiwhaling
Opposing maritime mammal hunts
Antiwhaling describes opposition to the hunting of whales, whether as activism, policy, or sentiment: antiwhaling protesters, antiwhaling legislation.
The movement gained momentum in the late twentieth century as whale populations declined and public sympathy for the animals grew.
