ASSASSINS!
To the people of the Faroe Islands…I say, "STOPTHIS SENSELESS MASSACRE!!!" Anyone who could bury a hook into the backof a whale, drag it to shore, slit its throat, and butcher it, deservesto die of mercury poisoning…or worse.

Burning witches at the stake USED to be a tradition in a time when we knew no better. As the World evolves we can’t allow such acts to be put down to a cultural necessity. This is wrong, to make an animal suffer this way is wrong, purely and simply. You can’t defend an act of such brutality as being something required by your culture. If you can’t get it up or need to prove yourself to women……buy viagra.

The data about the number of whales caught per year is available since 1700s when this hunt was regulated, and has always been around 1200 individuals per year. In the last 20 years it has been reduced to around 900. That represents around 0.1% of the world population of long-finned pilot whales…
Overall not much different of what happens in slaughterhouses around the world.
I am much more worried about Japans succesfull campaign to dismiss the ban on whale hunting overall….

If they have to eat, that’s fine, but at least kill the whales in a quick manner, as painless as possible.

I can understand why they do this. It is a tradition. I can understand the slauter of these creatures! We all eat! We all eat differant things! But when you kill more or take more than you need! Then there is a problem! But in the end the Faroe islanders are the ones who pay with the high mercuy content in the meat! Illness, retardation of the young, and death is a high price to pay for harritage! I am not saying STOP! I am saying even traditions can be altered. Changed for the way of time. A 1000 years ago or so when it was started I am sure the meat was more healthier. Not filled with as much of this deadly toxin! Is tradition worth the life of your unborn? Is the price of tradition worth your life? Some may say yes! After all who are we to judge when some have killed in the name of faith! Yes there should be a change for their health and the creatures they kill! But if we are willing to kill HUMANS over land, politics, and relgion? Are we just as horriable as those who slauter inicent animals who do nothing to us? I can except killing creatures to eat and live. But more than your fill is just wrong!!!
