Whale massacre in Europe
Don’t look at the photos and video if you’re a big animal lover, it’s “a little” hard to take in…
This “bay of blood” set somewhere in the Faroe Islands is where hundreds, sometimes thousands of pilot whales are literally butchered alive by hungry locals. The hunt known as Grindadrap is centuries old and it hasn’t changed much since then, except for the power-boats, radios and echo-sounders which make life a lot easier for the butchers. They round the poor whales into the shore with the power-boats and when they get really close, the locals plunge into the waves and start hooking them to death in a horrific manner. Then they drag the carcasses to shore and start skinning them and splitting the meat and blubber between all the islands’ inhabitants.
The Faroes economy relies only on economic fishing, but that doesn’t give them the right to slaughter 544 Atlantic white sided dolphins in a single day, like they did in 1988.
recently, studies have shown that the meat and blubber of pilot whales contain high amounts of mercury, PCBs, DDT and dieldrin. For what they do every year these animals deserve to get much more than mercury poisoning.

hopefully these whales start going mental and eating those people! a plague on sickos who would do this to a pretty whale!
Fuck you, people of Faroe Islands! Your descendants will eat their own poo on deserted lands when you devour all rhe species you can lay your hands on in the ocean
Hmmmm…..it seems to me that you write down your feelings without considering the facts.
If the topic is “it is fair to eat animals or not?” I could understand your comments, but since the question is different, I don’t understand at all.
If you eat or have eaten some kind of meat, you can shut the fuck up immediately. I guess that more than 544 animals are killed in a small town abbatoir daily. Multiply this figure for the working days in a year, and multiply it for the number of abbatoirs in USA, and ask yourself if it is intelligent to accuse those people of murder, or not.
P.S. The Faroese kill annually a maximum of 950 animals. If you have some figure of the animals (fish, cattle, and so on) killed annually in the US, publish it! It will be interesting to make the comparison.
Shame on Faroe guys who involved into this slaughter.Even animals don’t do this.
What happends to your nature.where is the humanity?oh my god!Wake up please!
i nearly cry when i saw this. somebody should do smt to this island . we used to blame Japanese but now in Europe …. shame on you denmark
This i food.. Is it wrong to eat food?? What du you people eat?? Leaves or grubs??? Every animal that we eat needs to be killed… Can you believe what hamburgers used to be?? Wake up people!!! To survive we have to kill animals… Like it or not……..
ok I think this is sick! when i saw the pics and video i was shocked! its not a hunting, it is a mass murder! its important to know what the government of Faroe Islands think about this! what the normal people there thinks? where is the EU ? sick story with sick peoples!
Most of the participants in this crime seem to be radicals.
No real person would be limited, if this crime is prohibited by the Commission of the EU.
