Greenpeace
have documented that Norway's two largest whale-meat warehouses are
full, with some boxes dating back to 1986, the year when the
international moratorium on commercial whaling was taking effect. Norges
Rafisklag - the Norwegian wholesaler controlling the entire raw fish
market in the country - asked whalers to stop providing whale meat
because it has not been selling well this year.
Norwegian whalers have stopped whaling in most areas, although some are still hunting in the North Sea whaling grounds.
