Iceland’s government says it has issued a license to the North Atlantic nation’s last fin whaling company to hunt and kill 128 fin whales this year.
Iceland's government said Tuesday that it has issued a license to the North Atlantic nation's last fin whaling company to hunt and kill 128 fin whales this year. Animal rights groups say that while the number is significantly lower than in previous years, the decision to allow the practice to continue is inhumane and disappointing.
The Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority estimated in a May 2023 report that 67% of the 58 whales caught by boats it monitored died or lost consciousness quickly or immediately. But it said 14 whales were shot more than once, and two were shot four times before they died. Officials said later that whaling can resume with stricter requirements on hunting methods and increased supervision.
