Some of the best news we've read in a while 🥳
There will be no whaling in Iceland this summer! 🥳
This is HUGE!
Together with the support of other marine charities and a public outcry in Iceland and abroad, we've saved around 150 fin whales from a painful and horrific death this year.
The Icelandic Government's own advice is that the "method used when hunting large whales does not comply with the Animal Welfare Act." The Minister of Food, Svandís Svavarsdóttir has made it clear that unless the government and license holders can guarantee to meet the welfare requirements (which it can't), whaling has no future!
