Such a sad sight!
WHAT DOES THE EU SAY ABOUT THIS?
This happens in Denmark!
Pass it on to your friends around the world! It is OUTRAGEOUS! Make Denmark STOP!
While it may seem incredible, even today this custom continues, in Dantesque - in the Faroe Islands, (Denmark). A country supposedly 'civilized' and an EU country at that. For many people this attack to life is unknown– a custom to 'show' entering adulthood. It is absolutely atrocious. No one does anything to prevent this barbarism being committed against the Calderon, an intelligent dolphin that is placid and approaches humans out of friendliness.
WHAT A SHAME, A SAD SCENE! THIS MAIL HAS TO BE CIRCULATED. THERE IS NO WORSE BEAST THAN MAN!
A 'custom' to show adulthood? Why, they could take bungee jumping the New Guinean way. That, my friend, is really an initiation to adulthood!!
.
I'm not condoning it.. They say its part of their culture and tradition.
Have you ever visited a slughterhouse after a camel has been killed ?? Pretty gruesome sight..
My God...
That was nasty, poor whales :(
but not in this way britexpat........
I don't know about Calderons, but Pilot whales are usually "hunted" for food. Whale meat is a favourite staple.
Faroe Islanders are fishermen by trade and these hunts are not for money. The meat and blubber are shared amongst the fishermen.
