Compromise between pro- and anti-whaling camps; never happen?
The International Whaling Commission (IWC) has published its first proposal for the regulation of whaling for the next decade; and noone is happy with it.
Japan’s Antarctic whale hunt would drop in stages, reducing the pro-camps industry to a third of its existing size over time. Despite a global ban in 1982 on commercial whaling, Iceland, Japan and Norway continue to hunt these endangered fin whales every year, under various exemptions to the ban.
How can they be allowed to get away with this?
I understand the concept that this is a lucrative industry, but these magnificent mammals are running out – and we should act now, not in stages. The uproar caused by this proposal shows how much of the population are behind a total ban – but the IWC seem oblivious to this.
What will it take to make bureaucrats realise this is not the way to go?
