Iceland has suspended the operations of one of its two whaling vessels for taking too long to kill a fin whale, the authorities and the boat's owner said on Friday.
that had been imposed after a report concluded that killing whales took longer than Iceland's animal welfare law allowed.
An inspection carried out on Sept. 7 on the Hvalur 8 ship found that a harpooned fin whale had not died until it was harpooned again half an hour later, rather than being hit again immediately as new rules require, the Food and Veterinary Authority said on Thursday.
