Whale Wars The Sequel

Article:
The attempt to scrap the international moratorium on commercial whaling collapsed. This to the delight of anti-whaling campaigners. Japan, Norway and Iceland are not too happy with this decision and they continue their whaling activities ignoring world opinion. Speakers from the 88 member states of the International Whaling Commission, who met in Agadir, Morocco, were not able to come to an agreement. They had been talking for two days about the three-year-old proposal to abandon the official whaling ban and allow them to get smaller and agreed kills. The issue will not be discussed for at least a year now.

Opinion:
I think that this conversation of delegates has led to nothing at all. Letting this rule pass or not does not make the slightest difference in my eyes. Japan, Norway and Iceland will continue whaling anyways. For some reason, I can’t really blame them. As it is as much a part of their as windmills are of ours. Who are we to say what they can and cannot do? This does not mean that I approve of whaling however, especially since I feel that we should prevent whole species from becoming extinct, unless this happens in a natural way. I believe that the extinction of wildlife will eventually lead to the extinction of mankind.
