Oh there’s only like 200 whales left, might as well finish them off - icelandic gov.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Animal rights groups and environmentalists have described as “hugely disappointing” the news that Iceland has given the green light for commercial whaling to resume, after a temporary ban introduced this year came to an end.

The Icelandic government said there will be tougher regulations in place – including better equipment, training and increased monitoring – but campaigners said these were “pointless and irrelevant” because whales will still suffer agonising deaths.

In a statement to the Guardian, Iceland’s minister of foodand agriculture, Svandís Svavarsdóttir, said: “With the expiry of the ban, the ministry is now implementing strict and detailed new requirements for hunting including equipment, methods and increased supervision.

The groups stressed that whales already face myriad threats, including pollution, entanglement in fishing nets, ship strikes and the climate crisis.

Ruud Tombrock, the European director of the Humane Society International, said: “It is inexplicable that minister Svavarsdóttir has dismissed the unequivocal scientific evidence that she herself commissioned, demonstrating the brutality and cruelty of commercial whale killing.

In June, Svavarsdóttir suspended whaling until 31 August after a government-commissioned report concluded that the hunt does not comply with Iceland’s animal welfare legislation.

legalize hunting icelandic politicians instead

Fuck these guys.

Who cares if the whales die horribly and the species goes extinct, right? Oh yeah, new “regulations” make it “good” to do the same shit somehow, so no problem.

I heard that India is allowing people to wack moneys over the head real good now. It used to be that you couldn’t hit them little fellers. Not the cows though. You can’t even eat their brain through a small straw like you are told to do to monkeys in some areas of Asia. Regardless, vegans like me can’t get into the action. We just massacred a bag of pistachios and that’s about as far as we go.

I’ve only heard about perfumes that once contained whale juices? …What do these whales produce in terms of raw and or commercial material. or is it for sport these days? not that any of it is okay.
