"I was appalled to hear – on Earth Day of all days – that the International Whaling Commission has put forward a deal that would legalize commercial whaling for the first time in a generation.Even worse, the Obama Administration has backed this deadly proposal, which would suspend the international ban on whaling and make it legal once again to kill whales for profit. During his campaign, President Obama promised America he would oppose the killing of these magnificent creatures. It’s time for you and me to hold him to that promise." http://madmikesamerica.com/2010/04/obama-administration-supports-hunting-killing-of-whales/ IP: Logged |

Poor whales - still an on-going issue. I heard the ex Australian Prime Minister was going to send out the Navy to deal with whale hunters. I'm not sure what the latest news is, now that he has been ousted.IP: Logged |
