Some good news and some bad news from #Iceland.
Hvalur hf. - the only company licensed for this barbaric "hunting" - has cancelled this year’s #whaling season.
Fortunately, market changes mean that exporting the "product" is no longer economically viable.
Unfortunately, the bad news is that this means nearly 200 local people are out of work. Let's hope that they find better permanent employment before the 2026 butchery begins.
