Ask Iceland to save whales May 12, 2009

The people of Iceland have chosen a new Prime Minister, Johanna Sigurdardottir. A well known opponent Iceland’s whaling, before the election, Ms Sigurdardottir’s interim government made clear its opposition to Iceland’s whaling legacy.

Please ask Prime Minister Sigurdardottir to cancel Iceland’s five year commercial whaling quota, and ensure that Iceland’s representative at this year’s International Whaling Commission meeting votes for whale conservation, firmly establishing Iceland as an environmental model for other nations to follow.
