"While it may seem incredible, even today this custom continues, in Dantesque,  - in the Faroe Islands, ( Denmark ) . A country supposedly 'civilized' and an EU country at that. For many people this attack to life is unknown- a custom to 'show' enttering adulthood. It is absolutely atrocious. No one does anything to prevent this barbarism being committed against the Calderon, an intelligent dolphin that is placid and approaches  humans out of friendliness. WHAT A SHAME, A SAD SCENE. THERE IS NO WORSE BEAST THAN MAN!" - Demetrios the Traveller from Bookmarklet

a sea of blood. it's fukn unbelievable : ( - 'Like' robot (frɐnc)

pretty much what's happening behind your average slaughterhouse's walls this very moment. - 'Like' robot (frɐnc)

humans are not goats.. we need meat, but whales and dolphins are not for consumptionOK #FRANK L - Demetrios the Traveller

..just whale-sized : p - 'Like' robot (frɐnc)

This is and always will be horrific, barbaric and completely unnecessary. One may two men, hungry men who need food, clothing in a bout with spears or suchlike maybe but never ever this. I cannot believe that this is still happening. - Kevin J Hatton

oh com'on what the hell they are doing there :( - Viva Vida

This is what one time a year ? What about all the cows ,pigs and chickens , fish that get killed just like this every day . Why do you not jump up and down about that ? If you eat meat you take a life and you are just as bad as the people who kill wales and dolphins . Step back and look at yourself as a killer . - Lisa zahara Hopkins

@Demetrius I'm not going to even *try* to discuss that here. but it's exactly what Kevin said what I think. - 'Like' robot (frɐnc)

I am a proud killer if you like, I have to eat meat and I am not a F,,,ing weirdo eating nuts.... and it is not the same....those guys killing just for fun it is not he same - Demetrios the Traveller

This does not look like a slaughterhouse type of thing to me, or like fishing. People don't gang up on the animals this way in a slaughterhouse or while fishing. At least not to my knowledge. - Kamilah Gill

If this is all true, I don't see what's wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... It's a tradition, the whales aren't endangered, and the catch is split up evenly among the community to eat. - Rodfather

so it's not just fun after all.. good, let's eat. @Kamilah you're right, at least these whales are Free. - 'Like' robot (frɐnc)

Anyone who wants to compare this to other forms of animal slaughter, to a degree, in my opinion, have a point. But this is done for fun and is just reckless free for all slaughter, which is not regulated. While I would agree that any slaughter is nasty and perhaps we may be being squeamish but I cannot in all honest say that there is any reason while this barbaric practice should continue. It is sick just sick. Give it a name. Yes I do eat nuts but not exclusively! - Kevin J Hatton

Who told you that Rodfather? There is nothing left it is hacked up meat and then everyone gets back in there Volvo's and goes home to see what's in the freezer. - Kevin J Hatton

Disgusting! Shit like this makes me ashamed of humanity - Jim Goldstein from iPhone

http://www.nammco.no/webcron... - "In the Faroes, harvesting of pilot whales has been an important source of food for the inhabitants since the islands were colonised. Pilot whales are taken in an organised drive hunt, or grind. When whales are sighted, local fishing vessels co-operate to drive the whales into designated beaches. Once ashore, they are killed by severing the neck arteries and veins using a specialised knife. The catch is then evaluated by designated officials who measure and mark the whales. The catch is divided into shares following specified rules and distributed free of charge to hunt participants and all adult residents in the district (Bloch et al. 1990)." - Rodfather

brutal once in the past maybe, now just brutal - Demetrios the Traveller

Sometimes it would be better to do that with them... Those humans should be killed. - Wulffy

This is why my European cousins are scary - Christian (Simply X) from Android

sign the petition as #hootwise suggests - Demetrios the Traveller

Oh yea forgot DOH! - Rich Weaver

Why would someone just waste all that meat for sport? I don't know any hunters who'd do that. - Rob Haas

lets stop hunting and waste killing..... - Demetrios the Traveller

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1... ...got it signed! Thanks! - Rich Weaver

They need to change the "Like" button to "agree" or something, its tough pushing I "like" this! - Rich Weaver

I agree with that #HootWise - Demetrios the Traveller

For there be no misunderstanding. I do not like this form of killing! - Lars Clausen

ok Lars we know that! dont worry! - Demetrios the Traveller

And the Danes do not like it, but we do not govern Faroe Islands, they have autonomy. But I like that Demetrios took it up :) - Lars Clausen

thank you Lars ;-) - Demetrios the Traveller

it should be illegal !!! - mike gile

:-( - Kol Tregaskes

Those whales weren't raised for slaughter, they are wild. And that's the difference. - Mark Davidson from BuddyFeed

how is it possible? how we let it happen?? why not to do something stop the craziness? - Avi Joseph

:(( - AJ Batac

WTF ? Where is PETA ? Why not anyone stopping this shit? - Jacque

I was just going to add that this is not happening in Denmark proper, nor would the majority of Danes condone this, I'm fairly certain. As Lars just commented, the Faroe Islands are autonomously governed. - Mark "Mr Bolivious" J

what you mean autonomously? #Mark - Demetrios the Traveller

unlike! - `aziz´ Alihan ÇETİN
