In just a few weeks, Iceland’s waters will turn deep red with the blood of hundreds of whales -- but we can prevent this bloodbath if Minister of Industries, Hanna Katrín Friðriksson takes immediate action. She has the power to protect Iceland’s precious whale population

There is no real reason for whale hunting in Iceland to continue. The leading whale killing company, Hvalur hf., recorded huge losses between 2012 and 2020 of around 20 million USD.

Demand for whale meat is collapsing. Meat from Iceland's 2023 hunt still sits unsold in warehouses, and Japan, historically the sole export market for Icelandic fin whale meat, has stopped importing it as demand continues

I’ve still got my old 1976 vintage #GeneralWhale #SaveTheWhale #SaveTheEarth pewter pendant from my days in #ProjectJonah Australia.

Mine is looking decidedly darker than this image found on the internet.

I miss #whalewatching in #ByronBay. I miss the whole crew eating out at #MexicanMicks. Good people. Simpler times.
