Readers of this blog know that Iceland News is usually naïve, happy stuff. Not so this report on New Zealand Conservation Minister Chris Carter, who today deplored Iceland's decision to resume commercial whaling, saying New Zealand would make its "strong" feelings on the issue clear to the Icelandic government. Iceland, which has been whaling since Viking times, stopped commercial whaling in 1989 under an international moratorium on commercial hunts but has now resumed it. What’s your point of view on this? Also, why was it NZ who complained? Why not, say, the UK or the US, who have some clout?Wednesday, October 18, 2006
