Norway's controversial whaling has been widely condemned around the world, it is in direct contravention of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (ICRW) with Norway objecting to paragraph 10(e) defining the 1986 moratorium. This year however the hunt has taken a more sinister direction to the detriment of the Minke whale and could make Norway the largest killer of whales on the planet in 2015!

Most Norwegians are not happy about their nation becoming the worst whaling nation on earth (by number killed), politicians and "locals" claim the kill is “sustainable” and totally ignoring the pesticides and mercury polluted whale meat.
