Norwegian whales have a date with death
Oslo - The Norwegian government continued to defy an international ban on commercial whaling as it announced Wednesday the dates for the beginning and end of this year's whale hunting season.

The hunting of whales, outside of the North Sea, will be permitted from May 10 to August 31, the Norwegian fisheries ministry said.

"If the weather permits, we can look forward to the new arrival of these delights of the sea," Norwegian Minister of Fisheries Svein Ludvigsen said in a statement.

Dear Prime Minister,

You are murdering the last great creatures of Earth. You are here by notified I am boycotting all products from Norway. I will never visit Norway. I will do everything in my power to spread a total boycott of Norway.

You are FECES!

3. Sad. I have
a great deal of respect for many of these European countries, but I can NOT support this. In this regard they need to join the 21st century. This is my main reason I won't be traveling to Japan or Iceland (which I'd like to visit if they weren't doing this.).

5. Hope you're a vegetarian

Personally i have no respect what so ever for anyone who criticizes whale hunting UNLESS they are vegetarians.

Why is one type of animal more sacred then another, are there different degrees of value on life? (apart from the human/non-human)

Only fascists believe some animals should be saved while they themselves feast on steaks and burgers.
