UK don't want to know how many whales are in their waters. UK have denied the Faroes to count whales in UK territorial waters. And how can this bee. Don't we all want to know how many whales are living in OURS waters?
If the count show that some whale spices aren't in danger UK don't have any arguments for not killing whales. Whales don't have Foot and Mouth disease and Mad Cow disease.
Denying counting will prevent scientific and logic arguments in favour of resuming hunting of some not endangered species.
Hopefully the UK will wake up and do something for nature instead of continuing with their imaginary environmental care.
