Denmark's commissioner to the International Whaling Commission (IWC) Ole Samsing speaks to reporters after the commission deferred Greenland's bid for an expansion of quotas for whale hunts by its natives 29 May 2007 in Anchorage, Alaska. Greenland's bid was put on hold as it had sought a quota increase from 175 to 200 minke whales and its fin whale hunt from a voluntary cap of 10 to 19 per year. It also wanted to add 10 humpbacks per year and two bowhead whales, neither of which have been hunted in Greenland for decades. Environmentalists condemned Denmark for seeking what they called a dramatic expansion of its quota amid concerns over the fate of the mammals. AFP PHOTO/P. PARAMESWARAN
