Horrific scenes as huge whales harpooned and butchered as Iceland resumes hunting
READ MORE: Nurse killed by driver after his window 'all misted up' before horrifying 'bang' In dramatic pictures taken at a whaling station in the village of Midsandur, men can be seen cutting into the large carcasses with tools and syphoning off the meat.Hvalur hf‘s licence is set to expire next year, and there has been talk from Iceland's Ministry of Fisheries that whaling may be stopped thereafter.The company’s whaling is strictly limited to a quota and this year they will only be allowed to hunt 161 Fin whales and 217 Minke whales.Fin whales are estimated to have a global population of between 50,000-90,000.According to the World Wildlife Foundation, and is listed as 'vulnerable'.Interestingly, the vast majority of the products extracted from the whales is shipped to Japan, where the bones and meat are a delicacy.The practice is incredibly unpopular in Iceland as it is considered cruel and it is not an economic breadwinner. Writing in Iceland’s Morgunblaðið newspaper, green party politician Svandis Svavarsdóttir argued that the practise wasn’t economically justified.She said: “There are few justifications to authorise the whale hunt beyond 2024.“There is little proof that there is any economic advantage to this activity."
