| Date | 17:18:09, May 18, 2008 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Whaling Regulation Act |
| Message | What's to stop a country commercially whaling under the banner of 'scientific purposes'? We know this already happens, and the proposed law is not tight enough to prevent such breaches. Not only this, but the 'scientific' killing of endangered species is counter-productive to the very cause of science, not to mention the eco-system upon which we all depend for our very survival. |
