Iceland Hunting Endangered Whales
Oct 23, 2006

Please take action and note the story so we can get maximum exposure and put maximum pressure on Iceland's government. Please send an email to Iceland's Prime Minister! The government of Iceland has launched a commercial whale hunt for the first time in twenty years, already killing the first of nine endangered fin whales – one of the world’s most magnificent creatures. Urge Iceland's Prime Minister to call off this hunt, which can only damage Iceland’s international reputation as an eco-friendly destination for tourists. Few Icelanders eat whale meat regularly; there is limited, if any, world market for the meat; and there is little scientific support for the theory that whales have a significant impact on the depletion of fish stocks. The permit to kill should be suspended before another whale dies. By approving the commercial killing of whales to please a single businessman, the Government of Iceland is firing a harpoon at its own economy. http://www.care2.com/news/member/434767326/204836
