Norwegian minke whalers boast of a good start to the season

As of Wednesday, a total of 79 minke whales have so been killed this season by Norwegian whalers, reportedly 55 more than at this stage last year.  In what is being reported as a “good start to the season”,  Arvid Johansen of the Norwegian Fishermen’s Sales Organisation,  Råfisklaget,  further commented that he could “barely keep count [of the number of whales killed].”  This year, 23 vessels have been licensed for minke whaling activities and 11 boats have already reported catches.
