Icelandic hunting season, which runs until next June, also includes the capture fin whales, the second species of the larger whale after the blue whale and is classified as Endangered. Last year the only company that hunts whales whale fin Hvalur Co., capturó148 of whales.
Meanwhile, Japan will kill 60 minke whales to alleged purpose of "scientific research." The season will also be extended until June, could threaten even a minke whale populations most at risk of extinction, known as J. Stock Meanwhile
Norway, whose whaling season started about a month ago and will run until next August, 1.286 contemplates the killing of animals. This, though in 2010 the Norwegian whaling industry ended the year with growing losses.
