Is further endangering the 2nd largest whale good for business?

Apparently, some rich **** that owns a fishing company in Iceland, has a love affair with whaling endangered Fin whales (the 2nd largest whales in existence) and selling the meat to Japan.

http://news.yahoo.com/icelandic-whaling--fin-whale-conservationists-split-over-efficacy-of-obama-s-sanctions--e-u--protest-142144048.html

I was considering coming to fanfest next year. And I'm sure there are no links between CCP and this whaling for profit off of the slaughter of an endangered species. However, I won't be going to Iceland as long as this continues. I don't want to support an economy while it allows something so incredibly stupid.

Let the Japanese try killing their own Fin whales. They can face the sanctions then. The government of Iceland should tell this ******* they won't condone his way of making part of his money anymore. The 2nd largest creature on earth should not go extinct to feed ignorant fatties in Japan and top off the fat wallet of a rich powerful idiot in Iceland.

I'm sure this thread will get some trollage. This is an internet anonymous forum afterall. I'll laugh too if it's done well. But anyway small price to pay if it leads to any CCP pressure on the government and results in any action against this crime.

CCP, there are off buttons for ship explosions, missile effects, turret effects, etc. "Immersion" does not seem to be harmed by those. So, [u]please[/u] give us a persisting off button for the jump gate and autoscan visuals.

325,000 people? More people attend Cal State than there are in the entire country.

Which is nuts.

But to answer the title question, yes, further endangering that whale is good for business.

Short-term business anyway.

Long-term, I'm sure Loftsson can subsist on HB Grandi's Lumpfish catch.

So you want to boycott the only country that punished their bankers for f*cking up, instead of rewarding them with more money, like every other country did.

Really? Ok that is a close one. I really hate robber baron scumbag bankers.Twisted If no jail time, at the very least there should be a special wall street banker fine. 50% of every damn one of their earnings.
