Danger for azorean finwhales. The finwhales that we see in our waters migrate to the north. Often they can be found in the waters of Island or the Faroer Islands. But there they are in high danger! Iceland is one of only three countries in the entire world that continues the archaic practice of commercial whale hunting. The government of this 320,000 person island nation defies a global law against whaling implemented by the International Whaling Commision (IWC) in 1986 and sets their own killing quotas each hunting season. The politicians, scientists, and businessmen influencing this decision believe that these migratory mammals are their resources to exploit, and will continue to slaughter them for minuscule profits, despite mankinds awful history of sustaining our whale populations. Lets shine a spotlight on this issue and bring awareness to Icelands blatant disregard for international law, and more importantly, their negligence to the biodiversity of our planets. Pico-Sport Azores has sponsored some of our Drone Footage for the movie of Jonny Zwick and we call everybody to participate on his klickstarter collection.
