Norwegian whale slaughter biggest for decades

As the four-month Norwegian whaling season comes to a close, the number of whales slaughtered has reached its highest level since 1993.  Despite a global ban on commercial whaling, whalers in Norway have caught 729 whales and the number could rise further even though demand for the meat is falling in Norway.

Norway sets a self-imposed quota of 1,286 whales it can kill during the season and claims the hunt is for the “protection and sustainable harvesting of marine resources”.
