Una dintre cele trei țări care încă vânează balene vrea să interzică această practică

Iceland's government plans to introduce a bill in February to potentially ban whaling, leaving Norway and Japan as the only countries still practicing commercial whaling. The proposal comes amid ongoing protests from animal rights activists and public support for the ban. This year, 80 fin whales have been captured, with a quota of 150 allowed. The fin whale is classified as a vulnerable species by the IUCN. Iceland resumed whaling in 2006 despite an international moratorium, while Norway and Japan have continued their practices. Indigenous peoples are exempt from the moratorium for cultural and nutritional reasons.
