Well, unless the animals concerned are seriously endangered, IMO eating one kind of animal is ethically much akin to eating another, therefore as I'm a meat-eater, it's fine by me on that score anyway. (Obviously if one is a vegetarian one should object to eating whales, but IMO only as much as eating any other mammal).
Now, if our Icelandic friends are shown to be decimating a rare breed, or using inhumane methods, or anything else that is really worth complaining about, THEN I will decry the practice.
Thanks for the info on cod, well, that's something. Still concerns me that having ruined our own fish stocks, we're now eating other people's, a nation of 1/100 the world's population eating 1/3 of all the cod, when there are plenty of other whitefish available more readily.
