Will Icelandic Whaling Actually be Ended?
A Wildlife Article from All-Creatures.org
FROM IFAW
Facebook posting, February 7, 2022
The Icelandic government has publicly signaled an end to Icelandic
whaling with the announcement that no new quotas will be issued for
an industry with no ongoing economic benefit to the country.
“This is wonderful news for Iceland, whales in its waters, and its
world-class whale watching industry,” said Sharon Livermore,
Director of Marine Conservation at IFAW.
“The Minister’s thoughtful framing of the situation indicates her government has taken a fresh look at its whaling policy and has come to the same conclusions as the rest of the world. This is an unsustainable, unjustified and unspeakably cruel industry with no place in modern society.”
