Editor,

On this whaling topic. I am surprised that the Department of Commerce and the Government of Tonga have not taken the initiative to fight for Tonga's to be able to get at least two whales a year for local consumption.

The Ministry of Commerce should provide data's and numbers that would support this proposal.

An Indian Tribe in Alaska has the right to butcher one whale a year to supplement the tribes protein need.

You go Taiji! Hurry up Tonga.

Mafi 'o Amerika Samoa.
