I don’t disagree. I’m just interested in what the real story is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eater Sundae Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 By being so dogmatic, we (the world in general) have driven Iceland, Norway and (now) Japan out of the tent/club. In doing so, we have lost whatever influence we had. Much better to compromise and keep dialogue going with these states that regard whaling as a key part of their identity, and manage the differences in a way that will protect the stocks of the more endangered species.

Ok, I’ll bite. What compromise would you offer? Can’t hunt whales but can be mean to a dolphin? You can throw a rock at a porpoise but only in march?

In the current situation Iceland, Norway and Japan are free to hunt a species to extinction if they so choose, simply because they are not signed up to anything.

They’re hunting whales where the numbers are relatively high like minkie whales. Dont get me wrong, it’s a barbaric practice that could do with banning, and the ban actually applying. They’re giving themselves a bit of room by targeting safe species but you can’t give them compromises. It’s not an area you can compromise with in my opinion.

Albert smith Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 I am surprised at the people on this thread who it seems have no problem with these rogue Nations hunting these declining species . There is no defence for it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are hundreds of species of animals that are endangered and in decline, from tigers, rhinos to fish, I am now aware of any laws that make the killing of tigers etc illegal. Is ivory the only thing that is illegal to trade, tiger skins? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6425595/UK-trophy-hunters-killed-HUNDREDS-elephants-shipped-700-tusks-back.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endangered_species Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that. I have to admit that the song and a couple of the pictures really make you wonder how long the Whale as a species will survive. Angel1.
