Did you know that puffin is hunted in Iceland and the Faroe Islands? The bird is part of Iceland's national diet. In fact, eating a raw puffin heart is considered a delicacy. Unfortunately the puffin is a threatened species and does not have any legal protection in those areas. This situation reminds me a bit of shark fin soup...except the birds are usually killed humanely. What are your thoughts?
