Anonymous Take Down Icelandic Websites. Anonymous targeted government websites that belonged to T he Ministry of Foreign, Affairs, The Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources, The Ministry of the Interior, Iceland’s Prime Minister, and the government’s main portal. An addition attack on the Icelandic whale fishing company website was also hit.

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.

Another amazing story I came across and thought I would post is about a Matador that awakens to the pain his industry is causing.

This incredible photo marks the end of Matador Torero Alvaro Munera’s career. He collapsed in remorse mid-fight when he realized he was having to prompt this otherwise gentle beast to fight. He went on to become an avid opponent of bullfights. The look on this bull’s face says it all for me. Even grievously wounded by picadors, he did not attack this man.

Torrero Munera is quoted as saying of this moment: “And suddenly, I looked at the bull. He had this innocence that all animals have in their eyes, and he looked at me with this pleading. It was like a cry for justice, deep down inside of me. I describe it as being like a prayer – because if one confesses, it is hoped, that one is forgiven. I felt like the worst shit on earth.”

“Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing creatures; none show more passionate tenderness to their young when deprived of them; and, in short, I am not ashamed to profess a deep love for these quiet creatures.”
