IWC update is nothing but indecision

The International Whaling Commission annual meeting ended over a week ago. Unfortunately, the main decision reached by the international whaling community was to not decide anything. Rather, it was agreed to meet again in a year to discuss proposals left on the table including lifting the ban on commercial whaling along with increasing quotas on whaling kills for those countries allowed to continue with the murderous practice. The only real good that came out of the meeting was dialog. After all it is better to communicate than to sit back and not do a thing. In addition, the current whaling ban is still in affect.
