Warning
 
Iceland is resuming whaling. Even though the country has not been hunting whales since 1989, it rejoined the International Whaling Commission in 2003 with an option to restart commercial whaling from 2006 on. Even worse, the icelandic government is planning to follow Japan's example and start so-called "scientific whaling" at any time.
