In a powerful statement, Dame Judi Dench and a group of celebrities have called for an end to the whale slaughter occurring in Iceland. The letter emphasizes the urgent need for global awareness regarding this issue.
The letter was released following reports of the first whales being processed during the summer 2026 whale hunt in Hvalfjörður, Iceland. The signatories express their deep concern for the welfare of these majestic creatures.
