This Gruesome custom, more barbaric and heights of human perversion now has a happy ending.

The wildlife groups of the world have rallied around the UN, who in turn has put enough pressure on the Danish government to ensure abolishing this custom and stringent anti whaling laws. An international observation/policing team has also been stationed here.

Some lessons for us, especially for saving our tigers, on the modus operandi of rallying world wide support may be a good learning. Especially with the likes of Sachin Tendulkar batting for the Tigers of the country, this may be the right time to rallly support . . . .

I also had heard about the custom of killing Whales. Thanks for updating all of us to know that it is now stopped.

I agree, that if famous personalities take up the issue of Tiger Protection, it will definately create more awareness and get focus.

On second thoughts , i am wondering if i did the right thing posting here, for these are not related to the Indian wildlife scenario . . . .(honestly, my daughter pointed this out . . . . she said, dad, what are you doing with this post at INDIA wilds)

Sabyasachi, you may want to review this and remove if needed . . . sorry guys, my apologies if this is irrelevant (i have a feeling it is :-)). At times, Life provides us with lessons from unexpected quarters . . . . like in the wilds!!

Rajan,
I am happy that when we slip, the younger generation is there watching. That's a good sign.

If we can learn from incidents abroad i.e. best practices that can be implemented here in India, then we should share them.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi
