- Title
PUTTING A PRICE ON WHALES TO SAVE THEM: WHAT DO MORALS HAVE TO DO WITH IT?
- Authors
BABCOCK, HOPE M.
- Abstract
The author explores the moral implication of a proposal to create an international market in whale shares as an alternative to the dysfunctional International Whaling Commission. She finds the proposal amoral because whales, like humans, have an intrinsic light to life. Since this leaves whales vulnerable to whale hunting nations, she suggests that international environmental organizations might help a whale preservation norm emerge in whaling nations by using education and interventionist activities that focus on whaling's cruelty to ultimately encourage the citizens and governments of those nations to change their self-image as whale eating cultures.
