Iceland Becomes Rogue Whaling Nation
25
Intends to Slaughter Endangered Whale


Twenty years ago, on November 16, 1986, Sea Shepherd crew sank half the illegal Icelandic whaling fleet and destroyed the whale meat processing plant in Reykjavik. That action was taken in response to Iceland violating the global moratorium the first year it was imposed. 

Exactly twenty years later Iceland has announced that it intends to violate the global moratorium on whaling again. Their whalers will target endangered fin whales in addition to piked whales (aka Minke whales).
