I think the point that Skarpi is triing to make is that whale hunting, although it is wrong, is a "trendy" outrage when there are a million causes, such as the endangered Eastern Massassuaga Rattlesnake in Ontario that no-one gives a shit about because the whale is a more PR friendly creature than a rattlesnake.

Skarpi is right. Why not spend more time lobbying your own Goverment to change local injustices instead of beaking off about someone else's!

I'd say Iceland is by far a more envoronmentaly frendly country than mine (Canada) or yours!
