That was so interesting. In America, we have a similar problem but multiplied by dozens. Big Agra (4 companies control the food supply), Big Pharma, the medical/healthcare/insurance industries, even candy is controlled by only two companies: Hershey and Mars. Our Supreme Court has ruled that these enormous companies are people and can contribute to the political process. Most politicians are also bought and sold. It’s distressing, to be honest. The brutality of the whale hunters are as bad as the factory farming of all meat-to-market animals. It is dreadful, so I will spare you the gruesome details. I cannot bear the slaughter or mistreatment of animals (I do not eat meat but I do eat some types of fish). Anyway, I found your newsletter fascinating! Thank you 😊
Sadly I fear corruption is endemic all over the world. I mentioned only the whale hunting in this post, but we have numerous other areas of corruption and mistreatment of animals here, as well. I stopped eating factory-farmed meat and fish a long time ago, and am very conscious of where my food comes from, precisely for animal welfare reasons. It is gruesome indeed.

I really do wish Iceland would permanently ban whaling. And soon.
Thank you!
