Ministry of Culture v. Ministry of the Environment: Difference between revisions

N'etke of the [[Kunik]], speaking for the dissenting opinion, also issued a statement regarding the case:<blockquote>Cetaceans, as any species, are an integral part of the environment, and as such are well within the sui juris of the Ministry of the Environment. I fear the leeway that is being given to the Ministry of Culture over other ministries in the name of cultural preservation. As long as the court, and only the courts, decide the boundaries of a ministry’s jurisdiction, then the dissenting opinion can rest easily.</blockquote>Most critiques of the majority opinion state that even though cetaceans are not endangered in Kuduk, the prohibition of their hunting falls within the Ministry of the Environment’s sui juris on the basis of animal rights legislation.
