Description
The announcement of Iceland's government that it is suspending this year's whale hunt until the end of August due to animal welfare concerns, has been met with mixed reactions in Reykjavik. While some will miss "the sour taste of the whale", others applaud the end of "something outdated, which belongs to the past". Opposition to whaling has been on the rise in Iceland with a majority now in favour of dropping the practice. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
