Anonymous Take Down Icelandic Websites. The fin whale is the second largest species on the planet – a giant at more than 20 metres in length but able to swim at speeds in excess of 35km per hour. This amazing animal is an endangered species. For 30 years its numbers have never recovered from mass slaughter despite an international ban on hunting them.
Iceland’s escalating whale hunts are clear and wilful abuses of the IWC’s moratorium, as well as the ban on international commercial trade in whale products. Selling to Japan to fulfil the seemingly insatiable need for whale products. It has even been reported as being made into dog treats.
Since 2006, the Icelandic whaling company Hvalur hf has killed more than, 500 fin whales for export to Japan, earning an estimated $50 million. Using explosive harpoons, these animals die a slow lingering death.
This is on a par with rhino and elephant poaching. Iceland has been quietly escalating the hunting of endangered fin whales.
We are Disgusted. Its time to make this atrocity known, just as Taiji is now known world wide for cruel slaughter of dolphins.
Whales do not have a voice. We will be a voice for them.
Its time to speak out about this impending extinction of a species. Its time to let Iceland know we will not stand by and watch as they drive this animal to extinction.
