Get your facts straight, please. Danes do NOT condone that crap. It raises a debate here everytime it comes up.
Unfortunately we're stuck with the Faroe Islands as an autonomous region and THEY are the perpetrators here.

It would be the same as blaming all Americans for any shit that goes on internally in Iraq, basically. Like pointing the finger at YOU because an Iraqi performs a Halal slaughter of an animal.

if that was true there would be no fish anymore since the seals are there much longer than the humans. also you could give them a clean shot instead of using clubs. or is there a small chance that it's maybe about the fur instead?

But don't you get it? They're killing the whales to save them;)
Or some such utter bullshit.

The good thing is that REAL Conservationists Sea Shepherd has been on the scene. They have operatives in the Faeroes and they've been actively trying to sabotage the idiots-
They have deployed an acoustical Warning System for the whales which will hopefully large numbers of them away-

If you want to get involved in anyway i suggest connecting with Sea Shepherd. They talk the talk and walk the walk.

They're quite tasty too.

Blame Obama.

what scares me more than anything is that people get more upset about the slaughter of animals than they do the slaughter of people.

Ethiopia? fuck them they should move where the food is, South Africa? fuck them they should wear condoms, Pakistan? fuck them they are muslim terrorists

Seals and whales? They are so innocent! lets all come together and do something about it!!! those people should all be lined up and shot!! or jail for life and then shot!!

I would hardly say that living in a can being force-fed with chemicals and antibiotics is the "least stressful" life for an animal.

People hunt all over the world, and for many good reasons. Here in the United States hunting is very big sport but it's also necessary so that the DNR can control animal populations to prevent spread of disease and many other nasty things that can happen to animals. Hunting is not bad, it serves a very good purpose both for people and for animals. I would take wild food over stuffed livestock any day, so much better tasting and it actually serves an ecological purpose.

But in the end, we all know that hunting cute animals like whales and bunnies is bad but hunting mean animals like bears and possums is good.

first: i never said that i want animals force-fed etc. - whenever i can i buy meat that comes from reliable sources that do not do that. unfortunately especially here in CZ it's hard to find

second: i have no (big) problem with hunting as long as no one forces me to join

the only thing i don't like is torturing and killing animals for fun, tradition or bogus scientific reasons to hide the real reasons.

and yes, i am a hypocrit, i care more about a cute baby seal than a cow

what about that pesky Hitler slaughtering Jews????

i heard he stopped that somewhat around 1945 :2 cents:

Believe me, if a whale had the chance, he'd kill you and everyone you care about. ;)

Would have been perfectly acceptable if he ate them all too.

When I grow up I'm going to Bovine University.

Who says they get more upset?? People say this all the time on here when an animal cruelty thread gets posted. "But what about some hungry kid in Africa ??"

Make a thread showing the poor and starving in 3rd world countries and you'll see people getting upset. Don't expect it in a thread about animal cruelty. Don't know why people always confuse the two.

Remember millions upon millions in aid is sent to Africa etc every year, so people do care, but there's only so much you can do...
