IWC 2006: Whaling article from Iceland

From Everything Between:

The breath from the Minke’s blowhole is awful, according to Víkingsson. “They never go to the dentist,” he says.

Unortunately, can't discuss anymore on Jennifer's blog, tried to post a comment, but it seems like I am forbidden access to this blog now, don't know why, don't think I am especially offensive!

Hi David,
I know that I'm posting under wrong thread, tried to post this comment on Jen's blog but failed.

Do you know if the site is closed down?

Anyway news from Norway today:

Whaling stopped in Norway

This decision has been made by whaler's and fishermen's association Råfisklaget.

The decision is based on poor turnover of whale meat, poor quality of the whale meat, poor demand , holiday season and that the whales were killed too late on the season.

Don't know if the whaling season is closed down finally or will continue after the hoidays.

No time for comments today though - it's a busy weekend!
