		<description><![CDATA[The killing of dolphins and whales is not a matter of national sovereignty, any more than human rights are a state-by-state issue.  This is a HUMAN behavior; humans are doing these killings, so it is up to we humans to police ourselves, regardless of what nationality those humans may give themselves.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seriously. As late as the 1970&#8242;s, Australia and the United States were amongst the whaling nations. After even the International Whaling Commission (IWC), which is a pro-whaling organization, called for a moratorium on killing whales, nearly all nations stopped the activity. Why? What changed?

Is slaughtering or abducting and enslaving them the way we ought to be repaying their friendship?]]></description>

Instead, enforce the moratorium by embargo, political means and, if necessary, by military force.  But do not make it even a little bit easier or reward that bad behavior.]]></description>
