Hundreds of whales killed as Norwegian hunt season ends

norway_minke_whale_and_rifle

The end of the whaling season in Norway has been announced with 580 minke whales killed by 13 whaling vessels in just under six months.

Norway’s minister of fisheries had set a quota (number that can be killed) of 917 whales for this season. Thankfully that number was not reached but this was still the deadliest whaling season since 2016 and hundreds of whales were killed.

Last year, shocking new documents revealed that dwindling domestic demand for the meat means that some is sold for dog food. Only two percent of Norwegians regularly eat whale meat so this is another season of senseless slaughter. Read more.
