Iceland's whale fleet sails into storm of protest

When captains Gudmundur Haraldsson, Gunnar Johansson and Konrad Eggertsson slipped their three boats quietly out of port yesterday morning to hunt minke whales for the first time in 14 years, the forecast was for calm seas and clear skies.

But within hours the small flotilla -- fitted with new, improved harpoons and with crews taught how to use them by Norwegian whalers -- was the centre of a force 8 gale of protest as British animal welfare groups joined international environmental organisations to condemn its actions.

Stopping short of calling for a boycott of all Icelandic goods, a move which the RSPCA said might endanger its charitable status, the eight groups with British bases urged their several million members and friends to "think carefully" before going to Iceland on holiday or buying Icelandic products -- mainly fish.

This means total boycott of Iceland! TOTAL. Someones got to start doing the research on Iceland products. For sure Bjerk is out.

I just can't believe this. In this day and age and our entire Earth's life is dying off. Such a disgrace Iceland!

David Oddsson - Prime Minister,

Total boycott of ALL Iceland products until you stop slaughtering the whales. Don't under estimate the impact on your next election.
