Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Iceland to end whaling from 2024 amid controversy and falling demand
Hundreds of whales of any kind are caught each year by Canada, Denmark, Greenland, Russia, the UA, Norway, and Japan. Although whale products, such as meat and blubber, aren’t as essential as they used to be, they still are commercially valuable. Thus, despite the strong and widely-supported opposition, whale hunting continues. Whaling also seems emotionally important for countries like Norway and Japan where whale hunting still is commercially and traditionally justified. They don’t want to be told by others what they can hunt and eat. However, as demands for whale products decline, whaling countries seem to feel less incentive for commercial whaling. Recently, Iceland has said it will not hunt any more whales from 2024.
Hunting sea mammals is a highly controversial issue, whales, dolphins, sharks, walrus, and seals. While shark meat is consumed widely and openly, dolphin meat is not. Why?
Read the article about Iceland’s recent decision to stop whaling for commercial reasons.
