I am just a simple human-being that asks that you deny ANYONE a whaling permit. Mistakes were made in the past and those can't be changed, but we do not have to repeat them in the future. In the name of kindness, mercy, respect and love, I beg you to use your political power and sound judgement to please prevent these atrocities from ever happening again.

I have visited Iceland and met the former president. I respect the country, its long history and its eco-friendly economy, but whaling is unacceptable and will cost the country more than it can possibly gain.

Please do not resume hunting for whales. I respect your beautiful country and would like to visit it, but if you hunt whales I will never go to Iceland.

I find it abhorrent that anyone would insist on dining on whale flesh nowadays when there are so many other edibles available even for flesh eaters.

Hunting whales for food is one thing. But, if that's not the intent, please don't issue permits; protect them instead.

Please continue to enhance Iceland's reputation as an ecotourism destinaton by not permitting whaling.
