Having seen these great creatures in Iceland's Faxaflói Bay, off Reykjavík I agree that they should not be hunted for large scale economic reasons. The animals should be hunted only for the Icelandic peoples' usual diet. By creating a managed environment where a limit supports replenishing of stocks, man and nature can live side by side in an eco-friendly way.
