The article I read was about a convention held internationally to discuss regulating and ultimately ending the hunting of whales. Mostly Norway, Iceland and Japan are the countries that are hunting and trading these whales. Many people at the convention wanted to end whale hunting all together, but since that didn't seem like an option, many just opted to try and regulate it more seriously. They said they hoped to bring more respect back to international law and also they wanted to make it so people wouldn't illegally trade these whale anymore. Japan was the nation to most disagree with this idea because they get a lot of money from whale hunting each year. They did succeed in making the laws tighter and all the nations agreed to respect these laws.
