Whaling moratorium talks hit impasse: delegates


    AGADIR, Morocco (Reuters) - Talks on replacing a moratorium on whaling with a controlled cull have reached an impasse, delegates at a meeting of the International Whaling Commission said on Wednesday.

    "After nearly three years of discussions, it appears our discussions are at an impasse," said a statement from the U.S. delegation to the talks in the Moroccan city of Agadir.

    Sue Lieberman, of the anti-whaling Pew Environment Group, who was attending the talks, said: "This means these talks are finished."
