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.
