After two years of intermission, Icelandic whalers have killed whales again. According to the TV channel RUV, the two fin whales are the first whales killed in Iceland since 2023.
In Iceland, Finn whales have been killed again after two years of intermission. While the whaling industry speaks of a successful start to the season, animal protectionists react with indignation and warn of consequences for a threatened species.
The first fin whales, which have been caught off the coast of Iceland for three years, are expected to land in Hvalfjörður tonight. The chairman of the Akranes Workers' Union says the start of the whaling season is good news, with ordinary workers able to earn up to two million krónur a month. He also says that it would be bad for Icelanders if "extremist views" began to influence decision-making.
