Iceland’s appalling decision to resume whaling this summer came as a bolt from the blue.
Iceland has decided to resume whaling this summer, which shocked many people. The country’s last whaling company has been allowed to hunt up to 128 fin whales, despite these animals being listed as vulnerable. This decision comes after a previous hope that Iceland would stop whaling altogether. Additionally, research shows that whaling has a negative effect on the economy while whale watching brings in much more money. Many Icelanders no longer support whaling, raising concerns over its sustainability and cruelty.
