 Sea Shepherd Conservation Society - Whales Around the World - Iceland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Whaling came to an end in 1986 after a Sea Shepherd crew scuttled half the whaling fleet and destroyed the whale meat processing plant.
The Institute says that the distribution of whales close to Iceland seems to be quite different from the distribution of whales during the 1986-2000 period.
As you may know whales constitute a large component of the marine ecosystem in Icelandic waters and from a scientific point of view it is highly undesirable to leave them out of research programs on ecological interaction in the marine environment.

 Jonathon Delacour: The raw and the cooked (Cetacean)
What people fail to realise is that the Cetacea (the group to which whales and dolphins belong) is an extraordinarily diverse group of mammals… It includes relatively large-brained hunters like dolphins and killer whales (which have the demonstrable intelligence of land-based hunters such as dogs) and tiny-brained filter feeders such as the blue whale.
So either linguists have no clue as to what intelligence is and they are laying a scam on academia in which case their input should be ignored instead of being given the gatekeepers role, or, they are practicing a form of chauvinists that will never accept intelligence in another species, xenophobia.
Whale meat being contaminated was demonstrated to the Norwegian whaling industry when they resumed export of whale meat against IWC resolution, and the fact was disregarded.

 Makah Whale Hunt -- Both Sides -- Forks Forum
It was there every winter, on this wind carved island, out of the sight of the Indian agents who forbade it, that whaling men continued to sing their own family's song and dance their own private dances in personal preparation for the whale hunt which lasted until the early 1900s.

Whales too are not animals in the same sense that deer, seals and cows are animals.
On 1999 May 15, they said “Whales and Makah are warriors; if you were a whale would you not prefer to be killed warrior to warrior rather than dying of starvation?” To start, the whales are unarmed; the hunters have speed boats, harpoons and assault rifles — hardly a fair fight.
