Dominica: A whale of a pride

Dominica News Online : "It's not often that the leader of a small country is bold enough to resist the desires of larger or richer countries. But, Dominica's Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerritt, did just that on March 23rd.

Speaking in Dominica's Capital, Roseau, at the opening of an Environmental Conference entitled, 'International Ocean Life Symposium', the Prime Minister declared that his government will no longer be supporting the whale-killing position of the Japanese government in the International Whaling Commission (IWC). He said that his government will be acting in his country's 'national interest'."
