Norway’s Whaling Woes
Simon Dring reports on Norway’s recent decision to resume hunting minke whales, in defiance of a moratorium by the International Whaling Commission.

However, Greenpeace says it sets a dangerous precedent for whales everywhere . . . and that Norway’s other claims to environmental awareness are hypocritical.
