I don`t blame Skarpi, I hope it wasn't taken that way. Actually he was thanked for his heads up on the matter. If he's to blame for what Iceland does then we in the US are all damned to hell.

Right. And let's include Norway and its oil, too. And Japan.

If you do one, do all.

Yes, it is a shame.

But don`t blame Skarpi, he works for a Swedish furniture retailer (you all know which one....).

Just imagine Skarpi selling a table leg labeled "Billy" to Captain Ahab as a replacement for the whalebone one that is not pc anymore...

I vote for a ban on Icelandic products, like ice, and snow, but not Brennevin!
Seriously though I have only one word to say about that.

Thanks for the heads up Skarpi, it's a shame. I would think that Iceland would loose more than some of it's tourist trade, probably loose some portion of it's exports (which I'm ignorant of what is exported) as well due to international protest & boycott. Probably loose a lot more than they can gain from the taking of 9 fin whales & 30 minke whales per year. I also can't see that the economy is dependant upon the sale of that amount of whale meat. Japan may also suffer by the buying of the whale meat by attracting international anger, even though they still do buy it now. And the excuse that they're eating up the fish stock, might as well kill off all the top feeders. That'll just leave us bottom feeders to fight for what's left.

Best of luck in Iceland.

Whale hunting is being stepped up by Iceland, apparently because they are desperate to sell the stuff to Japan.

I think they've more to lose in tourism by getting the image of environmental vandals than they can gain by exports.

Skarpi?
