| Message | Mr. Speaker, Why didn't the FJS propose a bill that says "Commercial whaling is illegal, but whaling for scientific purposes is allowed" if they were willing to have an exemption for science? They proposed a total ban on whaling. As Ludwig Murphy mentioned, there are quotas. We don't see why this bill is necessary. What we should do is extend whaling laws to allow hunters to kill members of the FJS. -- Trevor Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |
