I’m disappointed in Norway and Japan.
Nice, might as well join EU.
& Denmark??? Faroe islands???
A bit of a weird situation. As I understand it:
- Denmark itself has banned whaling
- The Faroe Islands and Greenland continue whaling, but both do in ways compatible with the international moratorium on whaling
- For Greenland, it’s the allowance for indigenous subsistence whaling
- For the Faroes, it’s by hunting smaller whales that aren’t covered by the moratorium
- Both Greenland and the Faroes decide their own law on the matter, Denmark can’t make them without partially rescinding the home rule acts
- Nonetheless, Denmark is often quite obstructive to making actual progress on limiting whaling
