Whaling, uninterrupted...

Shelley at retrospectacle has an interesting piece about whale hunting: she puts together various sources showing that even if new, supposedly better ways of killing them are available, they are not used since they are too expensive. Even worst, there's not enough data to backup the claim that grenade-tipped harpoon kill whales more

I feel all this is very barbaric. Killing endangered and somehow intelligent species is unacceptable.

Shame on Norway and Japan for behaving like this... and Iceland for following suite now, after a twenty-one year moratorium... and i thought that, after the ecological catastrophe they lived in the past centuries, Icelandic were seriously minded about conservation... we humans just don't live enough to learn the consequence of our actions...
