Iceland Kills and Sells Endangered Species

The owner of the Icelandic whaling company that has killed seven
endangered fin whales despite an international outcry said yesterday he
was now going to export the meat to Japan in defiance of a trade ban.

                                                                                           

A fin whale is gutted.

One of the seven fin whales is gutted at a port in Iceland. Despite being endangered, there are plans to trade the meat.

Kristjan Loftsson, the chief executive of the whaling company Hvalur,
told The Daily Telegraph that there was "no problem" about finding
markets for the meat in Japan and "no restriction on whale exports to
Japan".

It is the first time his fleet of four vessels — two British and two
Norwegian — has been used since 1989.

Mr Loftsson said: "We are back in business with about 100 tons of
excellent eco-friendly whale meat and blubber ready for the market."
