The sound of whalers blowing raspberries!

Author - CEO


The Icelandic daily Frettabladid, reports tht 60 tons of fin whale meat has been exported to Japan from Iceland. Kristjan Loftsson, director of the Hvalur whaling company, has been quoted as saying that the fin whale meat has been shipped, along with an unknown amount of Norwegian minke whale meat. Loftsson is said to be 'pleased' with the price that he got for the whale meat, and that the “products” will be on sale in stores and fish markets in Japan shortly.


Of course this is an outrage but its also the biggest insult the whalers can make to the rest of the world. They dont care what the rest of us think. Indeed in Iceland, they dont even care what the Foreign Minister thinks - all they care about is making the biggest profit they can as quickly as they can.


I wonder if Japan actually allowed the import?

Can anyone else hear the raspberries reverberating around the offices of the countries that were thinking of giving the whalers more concessions.
