They take 2 hours to die

To Iceland's Prime Minister, Fisheries Minister, and all members of the Icelandic government and parliament:
Just a few days ago, Iceland issued millionaire whale hunter Kristjan Loftsson a licence to murder 128 vulnerable fin whales.
Fin whales are awe-inspiring -- capable of communicating through song, feeling love, and experiencing deep emotional suffering. Loftsson often kills them pregnant, and a study found that these majestic giants can take up to 2 hours to die after being harpooned.
We can still stop this cruelty and protect the second largest mammal on earth – not just this season but for good – by helping change the law and making this Iceland’s last licence.
The Icelandic government is under pressure. The key minister admitted she doesn’t agree with whaling but says the law forced her to grant the licence. Brave lawmakers plan to try to repeal that law.
We can help, like we did before: Let’s make this a PR nightmare for the Icelandic government, and build a 2 million-strong call to put whalers like Kristjan Loftsson out of business forever. Time is ticking – add your name and share with everyone you know!
