Protest about the Japanese killing the whales. ?..
Chinese eating shark-fin soup...etc.etc. ?
What about this? Look for yourself, they are discriminating
against Asians. The rest of the Western World seems to
be blind and dumb....!?!
Is this is okay?? See for yourself.
We don't hear about this in the news at all.


Denmark is a big shame.......




The sea is stained in red and it is not because of the climate effects of nature.





It's because of the cruelty of the human beings (civilised human) who kill hundreds of the famous and intelligent Calderon dolphins.




This happens every year in Feroe Island in Denmark . In this slaughter the main participants are young teens.
WHY?
A celebration, to show that they are adults and mature!





In this big celebration, nothing is missing for the fun. Everyone is participating in one way or the other, killing or looking at the cruelty supporting like a spectator





Is it necessary to mention that the dolphin Calderon, like all the other species of dolphins, it's near extinction and they get near men to play and interact.
In a way of PURE friendship



They don't die instantly; they are cut 1, 2 or 3 times with thick hooks. And at that time the dolphins produce a grim cry like that of a new born child.







Take care of the world, it is your home.....!

I was only going off the info from the original post, maybe the whole story was not told?

does seem strange to kill that many dolphines in one sitting for food though, and only once a year? (again only going of the info from above).

it appears they are slaughtering a whole pack, that does not seem to be sustainable fishing for the long term.

great spectator sport??!

There was a doco on SBS not so long ago about it. It's their whole island's population's meat for supply for the entire year. Most of the year it's snowed/iced in. The original poster had a mischievous agenda if he didn't tell the whole story.

Yes, it's a traditional annual celebration that's been done for many hundreds of years - a celebration of food for the next Winter. The similar annual dolphin kill that happens on that island in Japan is also for food. As for the Southern Ocean whale hunting, well that's also for food too, but under a different guise.

Its not traditional when you use jet skies and power boats. Turn out that they need only kill about 300 whales to feed there entire population for a year if everyone ate whales the prescribed amount recommended by there own medical board. Fact is that only a very small portion of the population eat whales and they kill many more than is needed. More like thousands. Oh and most of the whales carcass is dumped offshore in huge dumping grounds. This year there will be a 5 part series on whale wars and they will even be diving on the dumping grounds.

This is for pride only now IMHO Just like the Japanese.

Oh and for those of you who say they need it for food. Check out the living standards of the Faroe islands. Highest in the world bar none[}:)]

Oh and just because its traditionial is not a excuss for doing anything. If it was we'd have to allow canabilism, child sex, the list goes on..

What a load of crap. Norway sell there whale meat to Japan.

Farore do it more for sport than food. They've even told me so in our posting wars that i have with these lovely clean living poor starving people they pretend to be[}:)]

They should be kicked clean out of the EU along with denmark for allowing it to hapen.

Yeah but as a ocean lover you obviously respect and would want to protect our playground wouldn't you

EDIT:

Ooops sorry Stuk, i read it as "They" (as in Dolphins) made me feel sick

My bad.

Also they don't do it just once, they have a whole season of killing, often hundreds day after day

Totally different argument for my money. Killing farmed animals for food is not contributing to the collapse of our oceans and in hand our life system. The ocean is already in a drastic state of collapse. Every fishery is at border line of sustainability for much longer and we continue to say its okay to discriminantly kill just for sport (sorry tradition). The world again the world depends on the ocean and we can't afford to let the continued strip mining practise go on thinking she will provide for man no matter how bad we treat her[}:)] Not to mention its barbaric and satanic at best to want to see a gods creature, a warm blooded animal at best suffer like that.

If they want tradition then they should keep on raping there women as that was a viking tradition as well
