Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] UC3 Roll Out

["SIMON WALKDEN" <mrsym0r@gmail.com>]

I found this in the news today:

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/category/story.cfm?c_id=1500945&objectid=10460469

It would appear that world media and changing opinions has done some
good - iceland will no longer be whaling, as nobody wants the whale
meat.

It may only be talk at this stage, but it's a step in the right direction.
