Greenland Whaling

EDM number 1837 in 2007-08, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 19/06/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Animal welfare, Fisheries and North America.

That this House notes with concern the report by the World Society for the Protection of Animals which has found that a quarter of Greenland's whale catch during last year was traded for profit through a private food company; recognises that under current rules whaling is permitted under the banner of subsistence hunting; recognises that this has to be monitored very closely and cannot be allowed for commercial purposes; and calls on the International Whaling Commission, which meets next week in Santiago, to ensure that a stop is put on moves towards commercial whaling by Greenland.

This motion has been signed by a total of 57 MPs.
