Iceland's whalers have killed 148 endangered fin whales and 60 minke whales this year, in the very waters where tourists go to marvel at these gigantic creatures.
Whaling is cruel, unnecessary and doesn't make sense economically. Whale watching generates more than $15million a year for coastal communities in Iceland — a humane, sustainable and profitable alternative to whaling.
Tell Hjálmar W. Hannesson, Iceland's Ambassador to the United States, you want Iceland to end whaling and work instead to protect its valuable whale watching industry.
