🚨 LINK IN BIO TO SIGN THE PETITION TO END ICELAND’S COMMERCIAL WHALING. 🚨
Meet millionaire whaling magnate Kristján Loftsson: the last person in the world still commercially hunting fin whales. When whale watchers encounter his vessels towing dead whales, his response is: “Just tell them to look somewhere else. They can just turn around and look the other way.”
Loftsson’s company Hvalur kills fin whales using explosive-tipped harpoons designed to detonate inside the animal’s body. 💔🐋 When asked what happens if the first shot doesn’t kill the whale, Loftsson compared it to big game hunting, explaining that sometimes a second shot is needed. Describing a whale’s final moments, he said they “give a few jerks, and then they just sink.”
His company also sparked international outrage in 2018 after killing what experts initially identified as a protected blue whale.
Fin whales are the second-largest animals on Earth and are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Iceland continues to permit commercial whaling, but the practice is opposed by much of the international community.
Meanwhile, whale watching contributes significantly more to Iceland’s economy than commercial whaling.
THE WORLD IS WATCHING. THIS MUST STOP!
🐋 Join more than 178,000 people calling on Iceland to end commercial whaling by signing the petition (link in bio). Then contact Iceland’s leaders and let them know commercial whaling has no place in the 21st century.

Very concerned by how many men have decided that simply not consenting to sex is “withholding sex” and “abuse”.
If your wife/girlfriend DOES NOT WANT to have sex with you, she is not “withholding sex”. You are not owed sex. She is not obliged to endure it for you. She is not a bad person for not letting you violate a clear “no”.
You have mismatched libidos? Break up. But no means no. Always. Today, tomorrow, next Thursday.
Microplastics were found in every species of sea turtle across the world...
Did you know there are 51 trillion microplastic particles in the ocean, 500 times more than stars in our galaxy
With temperatures across the UK soaring this week, please take a moment to look out for local wildlife who may be in search of water and shade.
A small act of kindness can make all the difference to animals in the heatwave.
Please share this video to be a voice for wildlife 🔃
@vinted I contacted your customer service team on 16 June with a query and haven’t heard back from them. It states on the app that you reply within 48 hours. My issue is still outstanding.
Really surprised to see Katie Hopkins being kicked out of a London pub. It's almost as though the real world bears no relation to the bots and Russian shills of Twitter and ordinary people don't like hideous hate-filled divisive grifting twats.
@Martels_Hammer@abworth2813@ShakeLS Pipe down you silly cunt, no one is colonising the UK. You have as much intellect as a fucking soggy cheesy wotsit if you believe the ridiculous claim of 250,000 girls being raped by immigrants.
Pete Wicks faced criticism when he said ~ “I prefer dogs to most people. Dogs never let you down or gossip about you, give me a dog any day. At least dogs don't take offence when you say something they don't like! At least dogs aren't two faced, they either like you or they don't and they're usually a good judge of character.”
RT if you agree with him ~ I certainly do.
