Exclusive translation: The British Daily Mail published shocking pictures of what it described as the whale massacre.
This came following the last whaling company in Iceland was allowed to resume its work, which is whaling, following it was banned 4 years ago.
This company specializes in hunting fin whales, the second largest species of whale on Earth following the blue whale, for their meat and other materials, which are exported to Japan, where meat is considered a delicacy.
Pictures taken last week showed workers from the controversial company hauling the carcasses of several whales ashore, washing and carving them with large tools.
The company’s license is set to expire next year, and Iceland’s Ministry of Fisheries has indicated that whaling in the northern country may be halted once the license expires.
