The King of New Zealand's Indigenous Maori people made an impassioned call for whales to be granted the same legal rights as people in a bid to protect the hallowed yet vulnerable species.
New Zealand has previously passed laws granting legal status to natural features such as rivers and mountains that are important to the Maori people.
