An update on Icelandic whaling: Náttúruverndarsamtök Íslands (a bit like our Wildlife Trusts) has made a formal complaint regarding cruel methods of hunting and has asked for a criminal investigation into whether animal welfare laws have been broken. They’re basing their arguments on photos taken by Sea Shepherd showing multiple harpoon wounds.
Great news, I hope the outcome shuts the whaling industry down in Iceland, it’s cruel and completely unnecessary.
