Earlier this summer, Iceland's Minister of Fisheries and Agriculture, Svandís Svavarsdóttir, put a temporary halt on the whaling season. The decision was made due to concerns over animal welfare based on reports from The Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority (MAST). The majority of the Icelandic population did not support the Minister's decision.

This video explores the complexities within Iceland regarding whaling, and the influence Icelandic whaling boss Kristjan Loftsson has on the country.
