Iceland - Harpooned fin whales No. 18 and 19

Iceland, September 23, 2023:
'Hvalur 8' returns to the whaling station on Hvalfjordur with harpooned fin whales 18 and 19 of the 2023 Icelandic whaling season (whales 19 and 20 if we include the unborn calf cut from it's mother yesterday).

Hunting fin whales is inhumane - that goes without saying. But when the harpoons are killing the next generation as well - that's simply unspeakable.
How long would it have taken for this unborn calf to die after it’s mother was shot?
How long before it was starved of oxygen?
Long enough to be criminal?

Despite blatant violations of the Animal Welfare Act, Hvalur 8 has been released from a temporary suspension imposed earlier this week by The Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority (MAST). It's now back at sea, continuing to steal the lives of endangered fin whales.

Since the beginning of this whaling season earlier this month, Kristjan Loftsson's actions have starkly illuminated the cruelty inherent in whaling. Multiple harpoons were fired at several whales, subjecting them to a painful, drawn-out death. One whale escaped after a harpoon had struck it.

Hvalur hf. persists in killing fin whales, disregarding animal welfare laws and defying the global moratorium on whaling established by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in 1986.
