Feb. 26, 2004 — The Norwegian government continued to defy an international ban on commercial whaling as it announced Wednesday the dates for the beginning and end of this year's whale hunting season.
The hunting of whales, outside of the North Sea, will be permitted from May 10 to Aug. 31, the Norwegian fisheries ministry said.
"If the weather permits, we can look forward to the new arrival of these delights of the sea," Norwegian Minister of Fisheries Svein Ludvigsen said in a statement.
