I can see your stance on this, I agree killing animals just for the heck of it is wrong and cruel, but they aren't trying to wipe out a species, they are doing this for a matter of survival. IF they don't a lot of jobs in Iceland will be lost, and there will be children out there starving because of the whales that ate all the fish that the Icelandians(?? not sure how to say it} depend on. Their econmy isn't like the uS's which is very diverse, they only have pretty much one thing to survive on.
Anyways, if you look at it in the way of the circle of life, nature is cruel. Have you ever seen a lion rip into a antelope? Its cruel! Thats the way nature was intended to be-eat or be eaten. The antelope has feelings, but you won't catch a lion eating grass to spare an antelope!
Haha brilliant post... thanx

And by the way it was like 90% of the economy not so many years ago so Its getting better... many great ideas to make it go all the way down to 1/3 in the next decades... but AT THE MOMENT its 70% and we can't just ignore that and save the whales
