Iceland's Fisheries Minister Steingrímur J. Sigfússon is allowing 150 endangered fin whales and 100 more minke whales to be cruelly killed, ignoring the tremendous economic benefit watching live whales brings to the country and the world. Our friends at the Icelandic Whale Watching Association are worried that killing the whales will also spell the end of their businesses. In a bankrupt country and a global recession now is not the time to kill whales they depend on for tourism.
Write the Icelandic Fisheries Minister and tell him whales are worth more alive than dead!
