Denmark cries in Sea of Blood, 950 Whales and Dolphins KILLED…
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 PITTY 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 Brutal Massacre of Innocent Dolphins in Denmark
In Feroe Islands, Denmark every year the young boys of the island go to the beach and kill this innocent animals. The Risso's Dolphin is a playful animal that only feels curiosity towards human kind. When they reach the beach they are trapped by this barbarous people that unmercifully kill every dolphin. By this they prove that they are not kids and now are adults. For God sake!!!!!!!!!!! They are not human at all! They are only brainless beasts!
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 like Denmark belonging to the EU. Is that the human race has evolved enough for us to tolerate such acts or be participants of such barbarism? Are we blind? Helpless? Or we just say that we are far away? 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 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 on Iceland, in the Hebrides, and in Shetland and Orkney.
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.
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.
CATHES!
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!
It is hard to believe that in this age that this bloody massacre annually takes place on Faroe Island in a country that claims to be a civilized member of the European Union. It is not publicized that this blood thirsty massacre is a rite of passage into adult life for participating young men. It is incredible that this act of barbarism against this species, a dolphin intelligence that is known to approach people with curiosity has not been made public. Please help spread the word.

That is so CRUEL!!!!!!! IT NEEDS TO STOP!!!!
I feel so very sick – I already knew about this barbaric practice but seeing these pictures is making me feel like there is no hope. What could possibly be going through the minds of these people when they slaughter these beautiful creatures?

I signed the petition for the stopping the dolphin massacre in Denmark. Do it too. You don`t know what can be your fate in your next life. HERE.
SEND To: Danish government; What can you do more, read this ARTICLE!
But that is not all. You don`t need to be a wildanimal to die from the human brutality. If you can eat after this video, I applause you. You are totally a new kind of a being - but not a human-one!
STOP THE VIDEO IF YOU HAVE HEART OR ANY OTHER HEATLH PROBLEMS. THE VIDEO CONTAINS VIOLENCE!
"You will cry out to this, but chickens living in cages, MILLIONS of animals, that live in a space not tall enough to stand, not long enough to lie, live in these conditions for years, only to die and get cut up. i think that is much worse than this, years of living in a cage then to be killed, much worse than living free and then having the most traumatic 5 minutes only to be cut with a knife. what would you choose? I totally disagree with this im not trying to say its ok, but inhumanity is all round us, we dont make an effort to change it," writes caruso on digg. And he does have a point...

Wow… where are the animal rights organizations?
...
I don`t know what is happening, but it seems that I cannot comment from my IP adress. If this commentar shows out that means something has done this intentionally so I cannot comment my own posts. I receive one and the same error 10 times already for 1 hour that I HAVE NOT RIGHT TO COMMENT - ERROR. If the organizers tell me what is going on and who plays such hack tricks would be great.
For the record - I wouldn’t call Faroe Islands Denmark, even if they still formally are in some way connected. But in terms of culture and real politics they are quite different.
Whale hunting is very dubious of course. Also countries like Norway and Japan are hunting I think… and also there the issue is sometimes more about national pride than about animal rights.
This is cruel and terrific! Would it be possible to put some mark before the pictures and videos about what they contain.
By promoting this violence in straight posts, we do not prevent violence..
I have a friend who have showed that!
It is a pity!
This happens every year in the Faroe Islands.
And it’s one of their traditions. It’s the same as the dolphin hunt in Japan.
On a different matter, Faroe Islands is not exactly the same as Denmark.
This is terrible !!! CRUEL !!! someone must do to this poeple what they are doing to the poor animals :X You must definetly put a HUGE mark on this post !! It is so bad i coudn’t read it all ;((((
cruel it is not strong enough word. I tried to put remark. this is near the campaign McCruelty of PETA. Welcome back to me. thanks for the support…
This is shocking!
Thak you for bringing this to our notice.
Sharing your post with everyone!
Thank you all. I hope all will clear out soon.
As for the topic:
http://www.mccruelty.com/
You`ll find it interesting. However, the last video here is the most AWFUL one which I have ever seen. I understand now the vegetarians…
It is a crime against nature!
It is crime against ourselves as thinking “animals”. It`s pointless and savage.
Thank you for this post. It is incredible what people are doing on this planet and how much of is defended with the word “tradition”. Where is the logic in that? Should we all kill our pets, because people did so in the past? It’s insane…
Further I liked that you pcreated a link between cruelty against wales and dolphins with the cruelty against other animals like chickens or cows. Just that this cruelty is supported by the mayority of the population. Maybe it helps more people to realize what it is, they are promoting when they stuff things in their mouths that used to live in torture, just some days ago…
as a citizen of the planet and especially as a diver i’m asking myself how this could be true in 2009?
I wanted to write about it a long ago and now, when I posted it, I feel better. This is far worse than eating dogs and cats in some Asian countries (I have written on this topic in one newspaper). It is a shame, that here, it is not any necessity. It is like I^m wathcing how the Aztecs have ripped out human hearts in some cult. And more over, the subject of farming animals is that complicated and frustrating, that I cannot imagine what is happening just in this moment in some slaughterhouse…
I bet how a diver can feel when seeing a seacreature butchered.
What kind of a ritual is this ? What is next, eating puppies or cutting off babies heads ? How so no one is punished for this ? What kind of a country is this ? Those people should be locked up . “People” - I’m sorry, every one who kills dolphins and wales in cold blood is not human .
That’s just barbarism.
If you ask me, for each killed dolphin or whale there must be also punishment covered with blood. Sorry, for being sadistic, but they deserve that!
Good god… it’s brutal. I can’t even bring myself to look at it properly.
I tried to watch the movie 3 times. Each time I pause it at some point. I`ll do my best to post it in local eco media websites…........
Awesome. I love meat. These videos made my sandwich taste that much better.
I`m sure you like your mccruel sandwich…do u want to post a video or?
Hello,
This is a brutal slaughter… Guys who are involved in it please stop this. If in case you owns have replaced dolphins who are not your criminals would you have been doing this to your owns…..And wht kind of tradition you are following to prove yourself matured… Disgusting guys… Please stop this…
ppl plzz do sumthing against this….i just could’t see the complete video…
Stop this? How do you think we can stop them? By writing a new post? They are mad, what do u expect us to do?
Please, STOP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be HUMANE BEINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Human Beings are full of compassion and mercy!...
Miglena, that is nothing…look this: http://climatechange.thinkaboutit.eu/think2/post/chinese_diners_eat_live_fish_in_youtube_video/
This is shame on Denmark… Why do you need to kill innocent dolphins to prove that you are matured now…..
Dolphins come near to you to make friendship and you kill them… this is betrayal of their faith..
Someone should do same with you people…
Please stop this…..
I hope they will stop this before there are none specimens to save.
SAVE THE BABY VEAL
It MUST be stopped!
I wish those people will just stop this cruelty. Sheesh, dolphins never did anything wrong. If all the dolphons die, I wonder how will they do their ritual of being mature…
I want to make a new ritual to show I’ve matured consisting of dropping in and slaughtering these people in Denmark! It would make this world a better place! Dolphins SAVE LIVES of
people drowning! This is truly sick. These people need a mental institution because their sanity can not be on track doing these barbaric, disgusting, horrific, nauseating, sad, tragic rituals as this. I am saddened today seeing this. I fear for this world, we as humans are killing it. I fear for my son when he grows old in the damaged world we have left behind. My heart bleeds when I see things like this. I can’t take much more.
I just can’t believe my eyes…Denmark should be thrown out of the EU…how can any human being do such a disgusting thing?
eople are doing this for fun, and getting enjoyment from it…the human race is truly sick.
This must be stopped.
I`m sorry, but all of that is a reality. Just like the extinction of rare animals for their leather and meat. However, some people take it very serious by practicing it.
I begin wonder if all of you who find the killing of wales cruel are vegetarian. Personally I think that the fate of farming animals is even worse. They live in horrible conditions, get marked painfully right after birth, seperated from their kids, they don’t have space to move etc… Make sure you also watch the second video in this post. IF you eat meat one way or another you support that. I just sometimes wonder where the border between a wale and a cow is drawn…
For cruelty against animals we can really not only blame Denmark.
@David - I completely agree.
“For cruelty against animals we can really not only blame Denmark.”
Exactly… first of all Denmark does NOT have any kind of authority ovrthe Faroe Islands that give them the right to comment on this. And @Kev,throwing Denmark out of the EU would not help. The Faroe Islands are not in the EU today.
If we should critizise Denmark, I think their pig farming is a bigger problem. And not only Denmark, but pigs throughout Europe suffer for our cheap meat… Whale hunting is barbaric, but breeding pigs in horrible circumstanes only to kill them and throw away haf of the meat as waste is barbary on an industrial scale
The continued violation and abuse of our fellow animal species by members of our own race is a crime that must constantly be addressed. Out there in the world and at home on our dinner plate. Educate your children, harass your governments and shame the perpetrators at every turn.
I cannot stand and believe that people can be such cruel animals. I cannot stand unmoved and without doing anything. Please inform me if there is any petition or other act that can stop this massacre of whales and dolphins in the world. I have seen a movie called the Cove which can be as well posted here for dolphin massacre in Japan . Let’s not be just viewing but acting.
What’s the difference between this and killing deer every winter for food? These people actually use them to eat and turn into rope and oils. Has anyone ever thought about the amount of deer that are killed every year? What’s the difference? Both are intelligent animals (although yes dolphins are more so), both can feel pain. If you’re going to be upset about this than you should be against hunting as well…
The people of Denmark are a disgrace! Funny how a lot of these Germanic peoples are cold and brutal.
After seeing this I couldn’t care less if a huge tsunami swept that entire country into the ocean and they themselves were devoured by sharks. No small wonder I prefer the company of animals to that of the beastly human race.
Please let people say: “How can I help?” instead of “I can do nothing”. Thankyou for your work on the Net.
Can I help? If so, let myself know.
That mike guy is STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I don’t care if he was being sarcastic. It just goes to show you what men think of in that pea they call a brain. And whoever participates in that he—of a festival is a monster. Doesn’t deserve the name of homo sapiens.
