Perhaps too much has been said about whaling already, but let's make sure everybody has the facts straight.

The following countries (or regions) have some whaling despite a general ban by the IWC since the 1985-6 season:
                        Canada
                        Caribbean (region)
                        Faroe Islands
                        Greenland
                        Iceland
                        Indonesia
                        Japan
                        Norway
                        New Zealand (Aotearoa)
                        Philippines
                        Russia
                        USA

The United States, Canada and New Zealand have no commercial whaling, but allow some heavily supervised harvesting by native people, some of which are located around the Arctic in several different countries. Some of the native people have treaties going back a long time and those agreements must be honored.
