IFAW has just seen official documents which show that Iceland has recently exported whale products to Demark, Japan and Latvia. The exports to Denmark and Latvia are contrary to EU law, even if the products are re-exported.

IFAW IN ACTION: No return to cruelty
It’s hard to believe that anyone could want to bring back hunting, yet the Conservative Party leader David Cameron has pledged to allow MPs a free vote on whether to repeal the Act if he becomes Prime Minister at the next election.
IFAW in Action has produced a report, which is supported by Sir Paul McCartney, as well as dramatic footage of pre-ban hunting with dogs, which help to underscore the cruelty of this pastime.
Contact your candidates now to make sure that they vote to keep the Hunting Act, should there be a free vote on it.
