Although I'm too late as I've been on vacation, I'm happy to see it has passed for this reason. All of you who seemed to be on the fence or against this proposal objected due to singling out one species. I ask this question to all of you. Do you realistically feel that a resolution that includes all applicable endangered species is realistic? I feel we must begin somewhere.
Going beyond whales, dolphins seem as reasonable a place to start as any. We could go on and bring a series of resolutions regarding appropriate species, including baby Harp Seals. There may have been an issue with the writing of the Dolphin resolution but my idea behind specific resolutions is that each species would require specific language regarding their conservation and penalty for violation of the resolution.
