Despite a decades-old international moratorium on commercial whaling, Japan, Norway and Iceland continue to kill thousands of whales every year under the guise of scientific research and banner of tradition. In the past few days, reports have revealed that not only did one Icelandic whaling company kill 12 minke whales since May, but another whaling company landed 16 fin whales - an endangered species. In the face of an international moratorium on commercial whaling, the country has set a quota of 154 animals for each species this year. Isnt it time we stop stripping the ocean of these magnificent and highly intelligent beings? Yes. #StopWhaling
