The Horrible Whale and Dolphin Massacre tradition of Faroe Islands in Denmark
You would think that the first world countries in Europe such as Denmark would never succumbed itself to i killing dolphins and whales just because its a tradition? How barbaric are these people? Well lets just say that upon my research of this infamous tradition, I stumbled upon tons of sites that tackles this horrible massacre of the whales and dolphins, and take note “WITH PICTURES” (Read: horrible graphics). When I first saw the pics I thought it was a hoax but upon reading articles about it on credible news sites, I can’t believe my eyes that this barbarism is happening in another country, which is far more progressive compared to ours. I, one time shed a tear upon looking at the pics because it was really horrible. The people look on, saying nothing, as if it was some kind of entertainment or a circus to behold on to. The worst, there were children everywhere. I previously wrote about a series here in Brother Sun, Sister Moon which featured extinct animals caused by mans’ slaughtering and hunting. Well I guess it won’t be long till the pilot whales of Faroe Island would be seen only in pages of books. Take a look at the pictures after the jump, its really horrible
The owner of this photograph (above) posted this pic on his flickr account and seems to be proud of his achievements because he even justified that people are going and commenting on his photos because they are fantastic. What this amateur photographer doesnt know is that he is being branded by people all over the world as sick, insensitive and barbaric just like most of his fellows in Faroe Island are. Hi is totally clueles just like his fellow islanders. I dont know what this photographer will feel like if instead of blodied whales lying on the shore, its their own ghastly bodies that are slaughtered to pieces… FYI, this photograph was forwarded to me via email… and the man who claimed I posted this without permision is as deluded as his tradition! This photo is taken by Adolf Hitler! LOL
Why are they Killing the Whales and Dolphins?
Whale and Dolphin hunting has been the tradition of the inhabitants of Faroe Islands (located in Denmark) since the 10th century. And most of the descendants of the medieval whalers have passed this tradition from Generations to Generations. For the record, there are 17 villages in the Island that have these kind of scenario every year which are authorized to conduct such massacre. After killing the whales in methods so gruesome, the villages part take the meat of their hunt and distribute them among the inhabitants. And because sometimes meat are abundant, some carcasses of the killed whales and dolphins are laid to waste and rot over the shores. The inhabitants use the whale meat for food because it is one of their staple diet. But recently, a law was passed in the area stating that whale meat consumption must only be once every two weeks because of high levels of mercury, insecticides and other poisons contained in it.
This Tradition has met worldwide outrage and criticism that even Greenpeace Activists tried to stop this from ever occurring again. But the islanders insist that the outsiders doesn’t know the implication of this tradition to their identity and culture as Faroe islanders. Activists however argued that during the medieval times, Faroe islanders have shortage of food compare to this time of ours that food is abundant already in the Island and that using tradition as an excuse for the slaughter of these gentle animals is truly unacceptable. If they were sharks, I don’t think they stand a chance in staging such massacre. I am reminded by this of primitive Mexico prior to the apparition of the Virgin in Guadalupe, wherein people are sacrificed on the altar and their hearts taken from their bodies as a “traditional” sacrifice to the serpent god. The only difference between Mexico and Faroe Island is the time and era. But practically they have the same kind of barbarism in their blood.
Being a Franciscan at heart, we were taught that all animals are our brothers and sisters and that men should show love for all things and creatures created by God. If St. Francis were alive today, he would probably preach on the shores on Faroe island with whales and dolphins as his listeners. For truly, Faroe islanders are more bestial than the gentle beasts themselves.
BTW, I forgot to mention, newly born and baby whales and dolphins are also not spared from this massacre.
OTWOMD condemns these foolish traditions and acts of atrocities towards animals.

Oh my God!! halos bumaliktad ang sikmura ko while reading this post..Tradition? that’s their reason? it’s a pathetic reason because what they’re doing is barbaric. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of these people will get sick because of the higher mercury content of what they’re eating.
Maritess last blog post..PhotoHunt#8 Reflection
Hello Marites
Oo. Kakaawa yung mga dolphins at whales. Grabe ano? Ang dami nila pinatay
nakakalungkot, actually nasa blog ko to last year(including those disturbing pics) nung active pako mag blog sa Y360.
lees last blog post..Computer Humour
Ah ganun ba? matagal na pala ito? I just read this from animal activists sites such as sea shepherd, wwf and greenpeace
bluepanjeets last blog post..Stranger than fiction
Is this done religiously? Its gross and repulsive. Poor dolphins. Some times you wonder if these are human beings or monsters who’re killing them.
i’d rather contravene with this tradition than killing lots of innocent dolphins.
these people are assholes.
I´m just shocked…
this has to stop horrible
kapatid naisend na rin ito sa email ko. Haays ansakit sa dibdib.
medyo complicated nga talaga once tradition na ang pinag-usapan. pero kung gagawa talaga ng paraan at pagtutulungan, sigurado mahihinto din ang kasamaan na yan. Parang foot-binding sa China diba since ~950 AD pa yun pero na-abolish din. Kelangan lang din talaga mag-set ng boundaries between tradition and barbarism.
Well my two cents are:
I guess the island is full of impotent people for which they have to prove by slaughtering innocent creatures in the name of ritual.
I so think Viagra has a huge potential in these islands as the only way to stop this massacre.
Shame on them and also on world peace-keepers for celebrating the Silence.
Now I know why did nt they chose Sharks instead lol
THIS HAS TO STOP. THIS HAS TO STOP NOW.
THIS IS RETARDED
WHAT A STUPID TRADITION….AAAAAAAAARGH
I am lost for words , this is the worst thing iv;e seen for a long time . what have these poor creature done to any one .
THIS HAS TO STOP . THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEM SELVES FOR LETTING THIS GO ON .
SHAME ON YOU .
THE HUMAN RACE CAN BE SO STUPID!
Ma ci sono o ci fanno??
Ma il mondo è veramente impazzito??
Ma perchè a questi pezzi di merda non li squartano e li sbudellano come fanno a questi poveri e SPLENDIDI animali??
mah…ogni giorno più schockkata…. ma poi ”tradizione” di cosa?? se queste sono le tradizioni di un popolo non so più che pensare…belle ”tradizoni” del cavolo!! la tradizione di ammazzare esseri viventi..bello bello.. e nessuno interviene… Ma vaffanculo..politici e istituzioni del cavolo…!!
How horrific! These people have no empathy for the living beings they are slaughtering (just imagine the way the whales feel listening to the cries of their fellow pod members being hacked up waiting there turn!!!) Tradition is BS! especially when it is so atrocious and barbarack! Evolve you basta__s!!!
this is sick
If this activity is just a bloody sport It is simply outrageous and barbaric – it has to stop!
Either way, these dolphins are intelligent creatures and do not deserve such treatment …
ALL ANIMALS SHOULD BE FREE FROM THIS MADNESS! All of them! No animals should be exploited by us, especially not in this day and age! Encourage abolitionism, it’s the only way things will ever change. Don’t be down, keep yourselves happy, strong, and active for animals, and someday (though maybe not in our lifetimes) the good in our species will win out and this can be a better place.
Hate this kind of stuff we humans do…..if we just disappeared I think the world would be a better place….-_-
you guys are horribly sick. to the core!
how could you bring yourselves to kill animals
for no good reason!!
Ihr Daenen seid ein kluges, souveraenes und friedliebendes Voelkchen. Doch, dass fuer euch das grausame Massaker an Delphinen und Walen vor der Insel Faroe immer noch legitim ist, erschuettert mich zutiefst. Stoppt endlich diesen barbarischen Wahnsinn!
Well my appeal to all is STOP EATING ANIMALS/ FISH / BIRDS . . . why are you so disturbed by this killing ??? Because you are seeing the Photographs of these . . . the same thing takes place at the Slaughter house of all the Super stores where you buy meat/ pork./ lamb/ fish / chicken/ cattle/ etc . . . Do GREEN PEACE go and protest there ???
So are these people who slaughter for your food IMPOTENT ? No? then these who are doing slaughter for the same purpose may be not ?
Killing another animal for satifying your hunger itself is a horrible thing . . . please stop this . . .
Those people should have their hands cut off – Fucken Animals… these are not humans… these are cowards. hiding behind a tradition to slaughter helpless animals.
How do they sleep at night?It’s pictures like these that make me ashamed to be a part of the human race.
First of all Feroe islands are not in Denmark, they are under the non-governing monarchy of Denmark, and they are as sovereign as Greenland and eve have their own laws.
The Danish government definitely could do something about it, and I really don’t understand why they haven’t.
I hope these images that are now circulating through the internet help do something about it…
And please people, keep this in perspective, there is a handful of injustice being spread around the world, to children, older people, animals and even our environment so don’t judge all DANISH people for it… that would like judging all AMERICAN people for Iraq, eventhough after 9/11 they begged for revenge… anyways… KEEP YOUR PERSPECTIVE!
Peace
Somebody should go there and tell them that the tradition in his country is to kill stupid persons that kill innocent animals. WHAT A STUPID TRADITION. Does an organization has done something against that?
where the hell is GREENPEACE? just another politic-corupted agency!?
How can you be so sick they are part of this world and are living creatures they have as much right on this earth as we do and damn all those who kill them to hell in my opinion shame on denmark and feroe Island i hope that you all suffer later and it haunts you in you’r memories for seing what you people do i am going to do my best to help organisations to stop what you do i think you are sick in the head go to hell. i am currently tryin 2 raise money to help stop all this, i think everybody who takes part in killing theses creatures should have their lives taken if they carry on killing them. i think the government should be ashamed of letting this get out of controll and should stop the people from doin it.
. 
U PEOPLE ARE SOOOOOOOOO SICK IN DA HEAD WOULD U LIKE IT IF WE DONE IT 2 U PEOPLE IN DENMARK.THAY ARE SOOOOOO SICK CANT BELIEVE THAY DO THIS DO THE WHALES
this is terrible! why do it they are so graceful! its so grusome why do it!
shame on them!
they should be sentanced to like 10 or more years in prison God said to LOOK AFTER the animals

I shed a tear for our Brother Whales Bluep…
.-= dFish´s last blog ..Learn To Be Still =-.
What is being done to stop this?? this can go on any longer, how stupid can u be? how stupid can u get? Tradition? they lost all traditions already — used to be pagans now are f@#$$ christians, so if that tradition wasnt worth holding on to why this ignorant one? Absolutley incredible… I promise Denmark , that may be ur country but this is our world and we can’t destroy it anymore, this makes me so angry that some environmental terrorism would be quite needed to stop this. How about all this idiots being slaughter too– bombed?
.
don’t you compare mexico with these feronese tradition. first of all because prehispanic mesoamerican sacrifices where an honour to the sacrificed person. he or she was very willing to do this for his or her god. and it was one sacrifice in a long period of time. and secondly, because every culture, even you’re own, (whichever it is) has prooven to have barbaric demonstrations of violence against other people and animals at some period. specially if you’re from the states, where that culture has bombed baghdad not a very long time ago, killing hundreds of civilians. I know my culture has commited a lot of violent agressions against life. starting with the conquest of the indian population in mexico. i’m not proud of it. but that has been left in the past. so what i’m trying to say is that your phrases:”The only difference between Mexico and Faroe Island is the time and era. But practically they have the same kind of barbarism in their blood” are waaay out of context, they show ignorance, and frankly,as a mexican i’m offended to have the name of my country related to this brutal extermination of innocent beings.
Please STOP with this practice.
The human need learn from the animals. POR FAVOR DETENGAN ESTA MATANZA SIN SENTIDO NI RAZON. DESDE ARGENTINA LO PEDIMOS
i was shock on this pictures specially when i watch the you tube videos about this case… i hope i can do something… tradition is important but not all especially today… we are already in a civilized world… we have hearts, feelings… we are not animal to do such thing… its really brutal… i can’t imagine that this exist…. i wish not untill now… it’s more dangerous if the nature will revenge…
Why in the hell would someone do that? You guys are horibble people=[
I trully hope that the people that do this kind of thing go home and feast with the dolphin meat and suffer from mercury related deaseases, so they stop slottering dolphins.
Who knows the karmic effects or Divine lessons those atrocities will bring them… Anyway, let’s also think about all animals that are slaughtered every day for food in all countries… I’m glad I’m trying to be a vegetarian (it’s hard when you haven’t been raised as one).
thats horrible!
even if something like that was for religious purposes, why kill so many!
i dont support the killing of animals, but god forbid if they need a sacrifice to their god, why not make a sacrifice of killing one instead of killing off the whole species?!?!
How foolish of me; when I saw the first photo, before reading the text, I thought the Danes painted the sea like the Irish when they dye the Chicago river green on Saint Patrick’s day… LOL!
i dont think this should be tradition.(personally). there suppose to be happy N memorable idk y anyone would wanna keep this up?…. why would they want there children to see this happening n going on?. ..pshh animals don’t deserve all horrible things that happen to them…*no offence er nothing* * i think this in my opinion* sorry if other people dont.:-x
I think if they need the meat to eat its fair game. Just limit the number of whales being killed.
This is truly horrific and cruel. I cannot believe that this tradition hasn’t been outlawed by their government.. these are beautiful, intelligent, kind dolphins for crying out loud. Both the islanders and the government should be very ashamed of themselves. I hope a stop is put to this immediately!!!!!
This is the saddest thing I have ever seen. I hope the governemnt does something about this and SOON. where is WWF and Green peace? WHY is this being allowed to continue?
Feroe Islands shoud be the next country USA should invade.
shame of us… they have to pay for those crimes
I am horrified. My continent, Africa, is supposedly barbaric and uncivilised, so how can “first world” so how can called “advanced” European society behave in such a despicable manner? It’s BARBARIC to kill beautiful creatures for the fun and excitement of an age-old ritual. The government of Denmark should hand their collective heads in shame! The entire population of my beautiful city of Cape Town wept when 50 pilot whales beached here earlier this year and could not be saved. The Faroese should no longer be allowed to continue with this bloody tradition!
Yes we are all indeed disgusted and outraged that such a primitive tradition is allowed to continue aleit by a bunch of inbread deadbeats who’s only contribution to this planet is to CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME…Yes the “species” that perpetrates this atrocity should be dealt with as the virus they are and be “neutralised” but that’s probably an unrealistic expectation. Can someone PLEASE tell me what we can ACTUALLY do about this?
Its inhuman…..stop it immediately if you all know the value of lives
Bull**** DENMARK. U must stop this horrible…
I pray that this stops NOW.I feel sick seeing this.These villagers are mental.Please send them help
I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT I HAVE SEEN — THIS IS MASS GENOCIDE –WE MUST UNITE TOGETHER TO STOP KILLING SUCH A WONDERFUL ANIMAL
Poor dolphins,
killing is a big cruelty by d human people . stop it ….may b in future der i’l b no ny dolphins on d earth….
what ****** idiots! why do denmark people always to crazy **** to upset the rest of the world?
the judgement day is coming so im not that worried. we all need to redeem for human crimes against this planet.
there is a phrase: kill one to save millions.
here is mine: i give my life for all those people deaths and others in the world which kill others, go to war, deceive, rape etc.
but im affraid human race cant be saved. it must be EXTERMINATE by this planet itself. we are the worst beings on this planet.
I feel shame being a human… what kind of tradition is this? really barbaric people. horrific tradition.
I am very sad. something must be done to stop this..
what in the world do they think their doing! those animals r going extinct cause of them! people have to stop this!
That is one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen in my life. I cant believe that anybody can do something like that. Its bad enough with what Japan does, but what the hell is this bloody carnage???? SHAME ON YOU,your nothing but murderers. I hope their cries as you slaughtered these beautiful animals will haunt all of you in your nighmares for the rest of your sorry lives. I have always been proud of my Danish heritage, but ill stop and think before I bring it up ever again in a conversation because of this shame.
That is one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen in my life.
I am shocked and appauled by this disgusting annual act. How can people be so cruel? What did these beautiful creatures ever do to deserve this??????????? They can feel pain and are suffering because of people who should have compassion and appreciation for these beautiful animals but don’t and slaughter them for absolutely no god damn reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…excuse my language. I just hate this so much!!!! This has got to stop…….I hope that if everyone signs petitions and are persistant on this that it will change. I can’t bear to think that this will continue year after year until they are completely extinct. So angry right now.
it’s unbelievable that this thing goes on in these times. They should all be ashamed of themselves. This is truly disgusting
These nasty Northern Europeans have hidden their true side long enough. Christ is no dummy, and the Bible makes a distinction between the true and false believers. I prefer these Neanderthals dried, petrified and hanging in museums and on the pages of history books… to hell they will go.
May the apocalypse come now.
Are these people in mental asylum and freed for a leisure? If they are not, they must be sent to one immediately. They are dangerous headless creatures and nobody should consider them as humans.
Anybody from “discovery” or “animal planet” seeing this? What are your channels for? Have you ever shown this on your channels criticizing this cowardly and inhuman act. Close your channels if you can’t act upon this.
This is sick. Totally inhumane and unnecessary. To argue that this is done in tradition is utterly ridiculous not to mention deluded. Clearly they have no argument of a common food source any longer, given the laws that are now in place that are there only to protect their health – nice right? – Their government doesn’t want the people to get ill but they pass no laws prohibiting the actual killings.
The fact that their government does not control of such barbaric acts is a disgrace to the country. One would think that they would do so if not to see the abysmal cruelty ended, but to aid their tourism industry which I could only assume must be on a constant decline as a result of the worldwide attention this ghastly “tradition” is receiving. I know personally I love to travel, and after seeing this have no inclination to ever visit this place. Not only do I not want to step foot in such a terrible place, I wouldn’t sink my money into their tourism industry.
Those that partake should be ashamed of themselves, and parents who take their small children to view these massacres are sick and twisted.
this is totaly sick not as if the islanders of faroe are exactly starving the governments should do something and soon before the world loses its natural beautiful mammals i myself cannot understand why they would pass this sick tradition on and let kids watch such a massacre please lets try and do more to stop this now
its disgusting,horrible and absolutely barbaric….animal rights organisations shud stop this as soon as possible but it seems that all social activists are deep asleep.
Stop killing the whales & the Dolphins… they are such friendly mammals… THIS IS A STUPID TRADITION!
STUPID TRADITIONS FOR STUPID AND RUTHLESS PEOPLE. BETTER EAT YOUR OWN RELATIVES AND CHILDREN THAN EATING THESE SIMPLE AND FRIENDLY CREATURES. DAMN THOSE WHO KILL THE DOLPHINS.
Like everyone else I am mortified….Why can’t they prove their “manhood” by going after a lion or tiger with their bloody hooks…..that would be interesting wouldn’t it? (Not that I would approve of that either if there was any chance that they might actually hurt the lion or tiger)
If I wasn’t a lady there is a four letter word I can think of right now to describe those bleeping savages.

Unbelievable! Sickening! Totally Unnecessary! W.W.J.D.
This is an example of all of us a a species. Criminal, Evil, Disgraceful, Sick, Inhumane, Wicked and an afront to God. That any government allows this should be a crime against humanity! Those that just watch and do nothing are accomplices in this crime. It is immaterial that this is tradidion, a religion or whatever… THIS MUST STOP NOW!!!!!!!!!!! DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hindi ko kinaya ang sakit…
horrible
(
I think the west, the so called civilized countries, need to think about who they call civilized. Imagine Iran, Afghanistan or China doing it. How will the Danish would react with outrage. Hypocrites to the core. Not to mention that what an outragious act supported by all of us. Why not consider sanctions against Denmark instead of Iran pursuing nuclear ambition which they may or may not use for anything destructive. We focus so much on posturing ourselves on political issues to sidestep other nations we do not like, but we ignore the sick and destructive acts of the countries we “like”. I am sure Denmark is one of the “liked” countries of the civilized world. Bravo.

I guess humans are the most cruel animals in the world. If such gruesome killings continues out off stupis customs and traditions, it won’t be long before the world would come to an end. I would rather not live and raise my children in such atmosphere than being a part of it.
Do you know of anyone organising an on the spot protest? What date of the year does this happen? I want to be there- this can not happen again.
Thanks
Wendy
Noooooooo !!!!! This is one of the saddest thing I have ever seen…I have no words…
Diificult to understand why it s being allowed by the governemnt…
Its totaly inhuman !!!!
these people r f****** cowards who mecilessly kill dolphins who come towards them in a freindly manner. these people can only show their authority over someone not equal 2 them.i wish the ass who started this tradition was i big f****** dork.people who follow this ritual r bigger dorks.i feel so bad for the animals there. don’t they hav a heart?these dolphins which do not know what will happen freindly come towards these people not knowing what ass***** r they. please stop it. where r PFA, other agencies etc.Denmark sucks big time…..
My heart is bleeding when seeing these pictures. Human beings are so lost
What’s the government doing? It is happening in day light in front of everyone, where are the law agencies ? where is the UNO
Where are Human /Animal Right Champions ?
It must stop immediately.
All these people go to HELL!!!
Shame on us that we cannot stop this god damn tradition.
Sanctions against Denmark! This is atrocious. It is human behavior that is despicable. It must be stopped!
What is being done about stopping this? How do you contact Greenpeace and the Faroe Island governing body? They have a tourism website – it needs to be bombarded with this information! I see a lot of people showing disgust – what is being done about it?
Here is some contact information for anyone who has the backbone to actually try to do something about this horror:
Faroe Island tourism: visi…@mfa.fo
Greenpeace: supp…@greenpeace.org
Write to these people and find out if this is actually happening.
This is another example of how the corrupt corporate media is not covering what it is truly a genocide! These people should be hanged!
this type of tradtion is a sick and unbelievably horrid thing. how could anyone with a heart do this to such intelligent animals. there are mean people in the world but this is outtrage. whoever dares to do this type of killing should go to hell!
this is so impractical..thy tend to lower the population of the whales wherein as far as I know whales are one of the endangered species of animals in the earth..this tradition must be stopped!..
tað er keðiligt at síggja hvussu lítla vitan tit hava um grindadráp og hvørja ávirkan hetta hevur fyri føroya fólk.!! (it is sad to see, how little knowledge you all have about whalehunt, and what meaning it has for the people of the faroe island
We all live of what nature gives, and nothing more than that.. We dont enjoy killing whales, but do it for the food, and that is just the law of nature.!! the faroese goverment has done good work to make the killing as least painfull as can be, and it has been a good succes 
dont tell me that none of you people eat meet, bought from factorys, you dont think that those animals felt pain as they were killed.!!!
I just simply hope that some of you can understand our way of living, and not just comment by saying evrerything out wrong thankss
It is very sickening and disturbing that there is no respect for wild life in the way these ‘barbaric sloths’ keep traditions that have no justifiable meaning today. If the meat is a staple exploit it like with cattle that are killed with a stun in the head, something that reduces unecessary suffering. I am somewhat glad that mercury is finding it’s way to their brains. Maybe there will be a point where there will only be stillborns or total infertility and at least these islands and places will be devoid of these ‘low-humans’.
i think this is the most sadest and stupidest thing in the intire world it is so barbarek and i love dolphins there gonna be all dead by the end of the year if this keeps up i apsuloutly hate this it needs to stop big time im sooooo protesting against this
These barbaric people should be exterminated in gas chambers !
I can’t imagine of it as traditions. UN should make a stand!
Actually, Greenpeace is aware of this issue and has made waves in disrupting this “tradition”. And to add, Greenpeace organization has done A LOT to protect our planet.
I think that they should STOP that tradition! It’s time to make an effing difference!!! I don’t care if it started from the 10th century or what. It’s already the 21st for crying out loud. Loads of animals are already extinct, yet they’re still going for that tradition which involves MURDER. People don’t have to prove manhood through killing animals.. I am really pissed off by what they are doing
P.S. I won’t EVER go to Denmark until this tradition is banned.
This situation needs to be attended to with immediate effect. this is just ah cruel satanic act done by sense-less people!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi.
I just want to say that i’m the Faroe Islands and think that this is horrible and disgusting so now you know that not all from the Faroe Islands are “evil”
Tradition? What happened to all the many traditions from long ago deemed unfit/unsuitable/barbaric? Stopped because of how wrong they were and not acceptable in 21st century. Why should these idiots be allowed to carry on with murderous acts? It doesn’t make them masculine just sick killers! THEY ARE EQUIVALENT TO CHILD KILLERS and should be tried just the same. These creatures are happy go lucky like children and should be protected in the same way. They gleefully interact with humans trusting them, yet these barbaric islanders are allowed to stage disgraceful acts that no human could lawfully to a child. Protect them in the same way!
what did the government contribute to stop this? have they done something to stop this rude tradition? this is too much!
…i never thought that this thing is possible…none of us have the right to do such thing just because we have to follow traditions…i mean, what do we get from it…does their Gods ordered them to kill those innocent whale and dolphins just to pleased them…it’s not right….it just melt my heart and made me cry to see those fish killed by those heartless people…
I can never understand the cruelty that Man exhibits towards other living beings !!! On the one hand Christ is worshipped..and on the other hand this baseless massacre..Kindness is perhaps lost forever… makes even men like Adolf Hitler look kind.. such slaughter… and for what reasons !!! We may have evolved from monkey to man..but in terms of our mental senses we have only gone down !!!.
correct
ohhh Lord!!!! may they receive what they gave! let what they did happen to them….. may the souls of the doers be burned in hell!!
why is it that no one’s taking action about this….. this should be stopped……. dolphins and whales are second to humans and killing these mammals is lyk murdering a human being…. where’s PETA where’s WWF, where’s HUMANE SOCIETY?????
I wish that these people would forever recall this atrocity every time they’d hear a baby cry, just like the dolphins did as they slowly died.
poor animals..why are they still practicing this kind of tradition to their kids? Why would they choose to kill dolphins instead of other animals that can be domesticated like chicken or pig? I hope they will pay for this kind of crime..Do they want to see their own family members to be killed just like that..Are you people? or just a piece of soulless trash
tsk!! napaka wulang hiya!!! d’ americans should help about this case.. how stupid!
HOW THE HUMAN BEING CAN BE LIKE THIS.
THEY ARE WORSE THAN ANIMALS. I WOULD LIKE THE DOLPHINS WILL DO THE SAME TO THEM
este no está bien. luchando contra las leyes de naturaleza, haciendo daño a mis delfines queridos y ballenas, que país se ha vuelto loco que estos animales de cariño puros les habían hecho, allí los sesos se han deteriorado debido al nivel alto de mercurio contenido en sus cuerpos, por eso esta gente no piensa más
Oh God, they don’t know what they’re doing!!!
Where the f..k are animal rights organizations??? Denmark should be punished by UN!
Is there anything an average person like myself can do? Is there any petition going on?
We have a responsibility for our world, and this is one of the many things that brings a grave inbalance to our earth. Respect the world you live in. Treat it with the same regard you would like to be treated yourself, then you should think twice before you would do such a horrible act. In this day and age we should know better!!!! This tradition is long overdue, like the bull fighting, dog fights and other horrific ideas of man(kind).
THESE ISLANDS SHOULD BE INVADED AND THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE MADE TO STAND TRIAL. DAMN THIS THING SAT ME OFF AT THE END OF A NICE SUNNY DAY :@
You have the power to change this, spread the word, send them emails, letters. This cruelty has to stop. Humanity has to prevail, barbarism has to be abolished if our next generations have a chance in the future!!

This is a shame for humanity! And I thought that only Japanese are to blame for killing and hunting dolphins. I am so disgusted that this takes place here in Europe too. Shame!
These photos are grusome, but have you ever been to a slaughter house? This goes on all over the world and will if we continue to eat meat. At least these creatures can roam freely before they are killed as opposed to cattle feed lots, chicken cages, etc. This tradition may eventually die out if other foods can be imported in exchange for locally harvested fish since there is little land for agriculture there.
I am a proud hunter and fisherman and I am horrified by this practice! It can not be condoned and must be stopped immediately! I can’t believe that such atrocities are being allowed to continue in this day and age. I will not buy any products of Denmark until these barbarians are stopped. I encourage all of you to join me.
Please stop this cruelity against nature!!!
truly a good enough reason for the travelling public and businesses alike to avoid this disgraceful country with a very very weak government. These
thugs should prove their manhood against each other, as these animals are not there with any agression in their hearts, trusting their envioronment and ultimately trusting their human counterparts. A truly disgusting sight. man should be ashamed. DENMARK you are despicable. I for one will never send my business your way.
its good to know your there syed. i too can not understand why the animal rights people are not there physically stopping this debacle.
its so depressing to see. i will never visit this dumping ground for the worlds scum
WHAT A SICK SICK SICK PEOPLE!!!! AND THIS IS COMING FROM DENMARK?!?! SHAME ON YOU DENMARK!!! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, NOW !!!!
What the…???!!!???
Please stop this. Those guys are not human. This tradation is devil Tradation. If they have human heart, then they will not do such activities. Where is the law of Denmark? Wake up please.
This is proof that every human on earth is a follower (brainwashed) by their ancestors…parents. When boys become men, that’s when every father and mother should tell their sons (and daughters) that “just because I was taught to raise you this way, doesn’t mean it’s right.” Like the gulf oil disaster, this is proof that man has failed again and has lost his ability to forsee how he his bringing the very things that sustain him to extinction. Where are the mothers!!!!!!!!!!
This is totally insane. How could such people gonna call themselves as human. this is a barbaric act .And such act should be banned not in Denmark but all over the world . We had to raise voice against such activities……………….
are you serious? You must be kidding me! This is the rawest I’ve seen ever! Why extinguishing such an intelligent and gentle species? Raise chickens or pigs and kill them in an humane manner. This seems to be a pastime family event, rather than nutritional need. You all should be ashamed.
I live in Las Vegas, and we don’t have cows grazing on pastures either. All we have is dogs, cats, and other pets. We don’t eat them. Just because you don’t have livestock, does not mean you eat what you find. What about import? Many countries rely on importing goods to sustain. Wouldn’t that work? So, the excuse about need for food is invalid. Are these volunteers doing the killing any way they want? The meat producing industries in most countries are raising animals for the purpose of consumption and use methods of humane slaughter ( and I agree that there might be some perverted exceptions under the radar). Governments regulate and check the industry. These here are hobby killers depleting the most beautiful creatures of the oceans. How sad.
why do they kill whales??!! what kind of tradition is this??!!it is insanity!!
dolpins and whales are one of the most sensitive animals in this earth., please save them., they done nothing wrong to us,. please stop killing them
This is enough to make me want to resign from the human race ( once again!)
Looks like Denmark is still an honorary member of the AXIS of WW II. At least the Holocaust was a painless death from lethal gas. This is simply akin to murdering a child with a grappling hook..en masse!
To stop to kill the dolphins
This is the worst thing i ever seen, i am a shame to call me humen
sometimes you wonder why all these innocent children and citizen are victims of war. Now you know way. NObody is innocent suffers they are paying for there bad deeds
HELP EVER ,HURT NEVER . my humble request to Feroe Islanders to stop this act of killing dolphins / whales every year as a tradition. all living things on this earth are children of god . please, please ,please , put a FULL STOP to this tradition.
I am genuinely shocked and physically sickened by this wanten destruction of these majestic creatures. Are these people evil. By the look of it there seems to be a blood lust at play here. If they don’t stop they will be branded insane if not downright evil. How bad can the human race get? Vomit inducing.
How sickening that human beings can do this, why can nobody stop this wicked act. The Whales and Dolphins don’t belong to the people on the Faroe Islands they are there for everyone to enjoy seeing them swimming and breeding in the ocean. Why does’nt Denmark step in and do something about it? STOP THIS WICKED ACT NOW.
[...] NAZIs are only endemic in Germany and Faroe Island. Remember when I posted here in OTWOMD the Horrible Massacre of Whales in Faroe Island? It is a shame that we here in the Philippines have our own contribution to Animal abuse. Just [...]
Please stop killing these innocent and intelligent creatures. They’ve done nothing wrong to you, people of Faroe Denmark!!! Think about your actions. It doesn’t really make you a man to kill these creatures. What makes you a man is to stand up and do something to stop this nonsense. There are many ways to celebrate your tradition or culture.
C’mon…We are MAN, we are intelligent beings we can think of many ways to avoid these gory traditions. We can just celebrate in the streets or plaza or wherever you want to. Just to STOP the killing. Same to the citizens of TAIJI Japan, who do exactly the same.
Most disgusting scenes. We can do something. Boycott everything Danish!! An embargo on Denmark. Then they will do something about it. Disgusting and retarded breed of people that should have been exterminated during WW2.
Too shocked for words.
