No whaling this summer from icelandic boats
The last decision of the former government, to allow whaling for 5 years, caused much uproar. In part because it appeared to be part of a behind the scenes deal.
But also because of shifting attitudes, towards protection of marine mammals.
Now the company Hvalur, who got the licence to kill whales announced no-season.
Yeah

On the way home earlier, I paid attention to the mountain roads with their bends, the cyclists and hikers, and at the same time, recognised a #dragonfly at the edge of the forest. Today I'm really happy with my brain.
