Ban Whaling in the Faroe Islands

Ban Whaling in the Faroe Islands

The Issue

The Danish  Minister for Foreign Affairs Lene Espersen has put forward a proposal to prohibit the Faroe Islands to catch large whales over the next 10 years.

This applies to whales that are larger than pilot whales. They are still allowed to kill Pilot Whales.

Since June this year almost 700 Pilot Whales are killed.

I want with this letter to guide her in the right direction so hunting of Pilot Whales also will be banned.
