A very significant development:
"Whaling: Beginning of the End?"
The future is still murky, but -- for now -- several hundred whales will not be subjected to a terrible fate in the Southern Ocean.
That fact alone is wonderful news.

Fantastic!!
While I didn't condone many of the SS's tactics, I was against the whaling completely. Let's hope it remains good news.
