Iceland Resumes Whale Exports
		Unfortunately, Iceland resumed whale 
		exports after a 15 year gap in spite of the global moratorium on hunts 
		imposed two decades ago by the International Whaling Commission. 
		Iceland's whaling commissioner Stefan Asmundsson said, "We have created 
		a joint trade area between Iceland and the Faroe Islands," … "There is 
		free trade within that area and whale products are simply one item 
		therein."

		“Simply one item therein” exemplifies the view of animals that 
		industries such as the above have. Items do not feel, do not fear death, 
		do not suffer… Whales are God’s creations; sentient beings with 
		God-given rights and instincts.
