Save the whales - Stop the bloody tradition on Faroe Island

Marianne AndersenCharlottenlund, Denmark
Created May 28, 2011

The Issue

A BLOODY TRADITION THAT LEADS TO NOTHING BUT SUFFER AND POISENED KIDS.

 

The barbarian tradition to kill lots of pilot whales in Faeroe Islands has begun early this year with the bloody slaughter of 60 defenceless pilot whales. In a world where civilized nations come to the rescue of stranded whales, the one place on the planet that demonstrates no mercy is this group of islands situated between Scotland and Iceland.

 

The whales are pulled ashore with a blunt hook lodged in their blowholes. Once beached and defenceless these whales are killed by having their spinal cords and major blood vessels cut. It can take up to three and a half minutes for a whale to EVENTUALLY die.
