Friends of Animals is cautiously optimistic after learning that Iceland is planning to introduce a bill to permanently ban whaling in its waters. The move would leave just Japan and Norway stranded as the last holdouts of an odious, ridiculous, flat-out offensive practice. The Faroe Islands, an autonomous territory within the kingdom of Denmark continues to kill whales, too.

Friends of Animals reignited calls for a tourism boycott this June after Iceland began again killing fin whales, the second largest animal on earth and officially classified as vulnerable to extinction.

The slaughter resumed this year after a two-year hiatus, on pause due to the industry no longer being profitable enough due lack of demand. Even still, Iceland has killed 80 so far this year, and the quota runs up to 150.

Iceland only has one whaling company, Hvaluf hf., run by billionaire Kristján Loftsson, who’s been described as the “last hunter of fin whales in Europe.”

Until the bill becomes law, Friends of Animals isn’t letting Iceland off the hook.
