Anti-whaling NGOs warn of 'contaminated' whale meat
Found on BBC News on Friday, 27 August 2010
Environmental and animal-welfare groups are urging the International Whaling Commission (IWC) to persuade the World Health Organization (WHO) to act over fears about eating whale meat.
The groups say whale meat is highly contaminated with mercury and should not be eaten.
This has been said for quite some time now; however, those countries who still hunt whales ignore it. On the other hand, this will all sort out due to natural selection: those eating whale meat die sooner.
