Faroe shocking images in a hunt for whales!
In the Faroe Islands there is a tradition in the hunting of whales and locals not losing the opportunity to gather young and old to see the poor animals in agony.
Although what they do is say a little outrageous, the local ward, and say that we act quickly and cut arteries, so that mammals do not suffer too much.
As soon as whales approach the shore, the men attacked them. In just three hours, nearly 140 specimens have been found in such end, according to a report conducted by the BBC.
Whaling is a millennium in practice little Danish island. Even if the European Commission has tried to prohibiting this tradition, they continue to follow the tradition and every year kill hundreds of animals.

So what are your opinions on cows being slaughtered for beef, or chicken, or every piece of meat we as a society eat? Do you think that meat just grows out of the ground?
There are way more cows, chicken, fish, etc.. being killed than whales on a daily basis.

Use your obviously fine-tuned sense of perception to do a little compare and contrast on those estimates. Please also consider whale fecundity and life histories.

I am faroese and I have yet to see an accurate description of faroese whale slaughter.
So here are a few comments.
Pilot Whales are not considered an endangered species. So this is not different than slaughtering a cow, pig or any other mammal.
The whales live a free life and are killed as quickly as possible, so this should be considered ecological food.
It is a part of our culture to eat meat from pilot whales, and not any other type of whales. To ensure that we do not stress the population, we have regulations.
We eat the meat and blubber, and it is actually a delicious meal, although it has been recommended not to eat it to frequently, the sea isn’t what it used to be.
Please don’t project your emotions onto these animals. Even though they might seem cute to you, they are not different from pigs.
Using pictures for shock effect is dishonest. Have you ever seen pictures from any other type of slaughter, it is always bloody.
Lastly, I would like to appeal to the author of this article and future articles like this one. You probably have good intentions, but before you pick your battle, do some basic research and direct your effort where it actually does some good.
