Iceland resumes whale hunting under stricter conditions
Issued on: Modified:
Iceland’s government is set to resume hunting fin whales after a two-month pause but with guidelines in place aimed at killing the animals as quickly as possible to reduce suffering. A global moratorium on whaling has been in place since 1986 but the controversial practice continues in Iceland, Norway and Japan.
