By the mid-1900s, hunting nearly wiped out the great whales globally. Unfortunately, commercial whaling continues in Iceland, Norway, and Japan where over a thousand whales are killed every year in these countries. Iceland killed over 140 fin whales this season, and more than 1,500 fin and minke whales have been killed in Iceland since 2003 when the country resumed commercial whaling after a 13-year hiatus. The Fisheries Minister of Iceland has signaled that she is reconsidering the issuance of quotas for hunting fin and minke whales. Current quotas expire at the end of 2023, and the Icelandic authorities will be considering whether whaling will continue in 2024 and beyond. Iceland has a chance to put whaling in the past and align with global attitudes that seek protection and reverence for these sentient ocean dwellers. Tell Iceland that whales are worth more alive, than dead, and that it is time to relegate this brutal and archaic practice to the history books. Help us end commercial whaling forever.
