I stood baffled. WTH was a tradition?! To kill an animal and not just to eat it or to survive, or maybe because it wants to kill you. You do it just for fun and then you`re called mature!? How heroic.
That is normal for 21 century! Still. Some boys on our age do it, without much emotions despite of satisfaction from the sheded blood. DISGUSTING and PITY for US as HUMANKIND.
We sit here, talk and discuss what to do to help people be aware of the fact that our plantet is slowly dying and in the interim some youths just kill innocent sea creatures! Rare, smart and noble ones!!!!! We are doing nothing. They die there and we sit here and watch movies and photos of brutally killed creatures. Killed from the generation we want to be the sign for the new future of the greener world. Scham und Schande. "Wie eine Träne im Ozean"...
The Killings of Innocent
Dolphins in
In Feroe Islands , Denmark
Thus they showoff their newly attained adulthood. This is an act of cruelty towards animals that only get close to them to play.
It is absolutely incredible that many people are ignorant about this senseless attack to life and that it happens in a supposedly 'civilized' country likeDenmark
WIKIPEDIA says that whaling in the Faroe Islands has been practiced since 1584. It is regulated by Faroese authorities but not by the International Whaling Commission as there are disagreements about the Commission's competency for small cetaceans. Around 950 Long-finned Pilot Whales (Globicephala melaena) are killed annually, mainly during the
summer. The hunts, called "grindadráp" in Faroese, are non-commercial and are organized on a community level; anyone can participate. The hunters first surround the pilot whales with a wide semicircle of boats. The boats drive the pilot whales slowly into a bay or to the bottom of a fjord.
Most Faroese consider the hunt an important part of their culture and history. Animal-rights groups criticize the hunt as being cruel and unnecessary, while the hunters claim in return that most journalists do not exhibit sufficient knowledge of the catch methods or its economic significance.
As of the end of November 2008 the chief medical officers of the Faroe Islands have recommended that pilot whales no longer be considered fit for human consumption because of the levels of toxins in the whales.
How sad. It`s not considered fit, because the poor animals are not that healthy for the human anymore. WHY? Because they are full of our toxing. That what we pure into the seas and oceans. That what we want to get rid of. And we kill them. Purposely.
Origin - Whale hunting has been a common phenomenon for a long period of time. It is known to have existed onIceland ,
in the Hebrides , and in Shetland and Orkney.
Archaeological evidence from the early Norse settlement of the Faroe Islands c. 1200 years ago, in the form of pilot whale bones found in household remains in Gøta, indicates that the pilot whale has long had a central place in the everyday life of Faroe Islanders. The meat and blubber of the pilot whale has been an important part of the islanders staple diet. The blubber, in particular, has been highly valued both as food and for processing into oil, which was used for lighting fuel and other purposes. Parts of the skin of pilot whales were also used for ropes and lines, while stomachs were used as floats.
Rights to whales have been regulated by law since medieval times. References are found in early Norwegian legal documents, while the oldest existing legal document with specific reference to the Faroes, the so-called Sheep Letter from 1298, includes rules for rights to, and shares of both stranded whales as well as whales driven ashore.
CATCHES!
Records of the drive exist in part since 1584, and continuously from 1709—the longest period of time for statistics existing for any wild animal harvest in the world. The catch is divided into shares known in Faroese as a skinn, which is an age-old measurement value that derives from agricultural practices. 1 skinn = 38 kg of whale meat + 34 kg of blubber: in total 72 kg. Just like a human.

What a shame, we have to spread the news in hope that someone can come and do something about this. Without a doubt man is the worst animal on the planet!
