#BreakingNews - Commercial Fin Whaling in Iceland is to be allowed during September - but with stricter conditions, monitoring and the use of electricity on whales is not authorised. -------------------- As it was reported by VISIR: 11:52 a.m Svandís Svavarsdóttir [Minister of food] says that whaling will be allowed again under stricter regulations.She says that supervision will increase significantly. The regulation will take effect tomorrow. 11:54 am The conditions for fin whaling are detailed and stricter requirements for whaling equipment, methods and increased monitoring, according to a notification from the Ministry of Food . The conditions include training, education, whaling equipment and methods. The Ministry draws attention to the fact that the working group's report states that various questions remain unanswered regarding the possible effectiveness and effects of electricity during euthanasia, and therefore the regulation does not allow for the use of such equipment. 12:01 a.m Svandis also said that the discussion about whaling would continue in Icelandic society. This is not a final decision, and the new regulation will apply until the end of the year. "Of course I wasn't born yesterday. And I know that you don't become a minister to give vent to your wildest dreams. There I am making a decision based on professional considerations," says Svandís (about whether she is happy with the decision). Svandis said that she does not make a decision based on the threats of others in the government. "That would be a sad approach." She reiterated that VG's party policy is that whaling should be banned. 12:27 p.m Svandís said when asked if there was still a risk of whales being dragged half-dead during the hunt: "If that happens, it is definitely an anomaly that would be recorded and reported". --------------------------------- Summary: This decision means that whaling is allowed through September - during which Loftsson's two harpoon ships typically can kill 30 to 40 fin whales. Loftsson has already stated that his whaling can only continue to the end of September due to shorter days, poor weather and sea conditions and the availability of crew/staff who are on short term contracts. Svandis has stated that electrocuting whales is not permitted (this was already a failed past experiment by Japan and Norway even on much smaller Minke whales). Loftsson will now likely to try and kill whales faster (with reduced time to death) but without his experimental electrocution equipment during the most difficult month of the whaling season. Svandis has stated that the aim of the VG political party is to ban whaling in Iceland. Our crew have bene in Iceland since June monitoring the whaling company in Reykjavik and in Hvalfjordur - so look for updates on this campaign. #whaling #hvalur #iceland #oppaiakan
