Faroe Whale Cull - Faroe Islands



Uploaded by: journeymanpictures
Video Description:
October 2007
The Faroe Islands, midway between Scotland and Iceland, were settled by Vikings a thousand years ago. Remote and intriguing, they look like something out of a Norse fairy tale.
People live in log houses with turf rooves, speak an ancient Viking language and delight in dressing up in traditional costume and singing Norse ballads.
But there is one part of their picture-postcard culture that outsiders find positively shocking. Every northern summer, Faroese herd pods of pilot whales to shore and butcher them with hooks and knives, before cutting up the meat to share with each family.
It's seen as a birth right and a celebration of Faroese culture. The islanders have steadfastly resisted international pressure to stop.
Kate Sanderson moved to the Faroes from Australia 22 years ago and married a local. She tells tells us, " You know what we say, save the whales -- for dinner!
Sanderson is the chief international negotiator on whaling and fishing. "Two generations of media hype and campaigning against whaling have really warped people's view of what whaling today is all about," she says. "Those countries that continue to (hunt) whales today are all countries that have a very long tradition of eating whale.

disgusting... wrong ... ( 1 week ago by coolfrog28)
disgusting... wrong... shame on humanity....absolutely horrendous... I understand that this is their tradition or whatever... But we could be the generation to see many species of whales and sharks EXTINCT. We have 2 decades to change what is happening in the ocean. These people need to wrap their stupid heads around the fact that there is a bigger picture than their cruel ceremony... If they are different from outsiders they are still human. There should be a lot of blood on their consciences.
@coolfrog28 The ... ( 1 week ago by klintrimus)
@coolfrog28 The fact is, that pilot whales are NOT about to be extinct, far from it! The biggest danger they face nowadays is pollution.
@klintrimus: why ... ( 1 week ago by frankentiger83)
@klintrimus: why dont you stop defending this shit? Do you think you are going to change the views of everyone who watches this barbaric shit? The fact is, whales are WILD mammals and the people of the FAROE ISLANDS need to understand that this is an outdated and embarrassing practise that has no place in the MODERN world. Stop trying to 'sell' this shit to everyone. Most people would be appalled at the actions carried out by the FAROE people.
@klintrimus: "So ... ( 1 week ago by frankentiger83)
@klintrimus: "So please go out and play or I cut your Hello-Kitty doll wide open." - I believe that if I did in fact own a hello-kitty doll that you would cut it wide open. You have probably practised on many defenseless pilot whales. MONSTER!
@frankentiger83 I ... ( 1 week ago by klintrimus)
@frankentiger83 I have never killed a whale in my life. Nor have I killed a cow, sheep, chicken or a pig but some of those kills are necessary because we can't all eat carrots . Most people would be "appalled" and think twice if they where forced to kill the animal before eating it. I think people are so ignorant/naive forgetting that "meat" once was an animal!
I just love the word modern! Is it modern that people in Pakistan barely get any help? There is nothing modern about this world!

I live in a fishing port in England and I believe the Faroe Islanders are doing nothing wrong, in modern fishing boats the fish are trawled up alive and filleted and gutted alive, at least the Faroe Islanders cut the spinal cord ensuring the mamal is dead quickly, this is no different to what happens to cows in slaughter houses everywhere.

@GODBLESSAMERICA71 You really, REALLY need a life! Do you think, any of your comments will stop us, killing whales? the answer is NO. Go outside the door, little friend.

@GODBLESSAMERICA71
first of all,roman planski is not swiss but a dirty jew vermin.
two,its a honor to have "nazi gold" we supported our Germanic germans brothers and we are damn proud !

five,whales are delicious ! Miam ! :)

@Aterkomsten The fagroes are a bunch of inbred pussies. Check out some videos from those deserted islands and you'll see they all have the same inbred face. You retard the nazis lost the war and your proud of that? Fact is they lost the two biggest wars. Being noble and proud got them real far dumb ass! But you would be proud cause you pussies sit on the sidelines and make cheese and cuckoo clocks! Thats something to be proud of. LOL!!!

@Aterkomsten Looks like you made a friend in scwerttau. Short little fat girls need loving to. If she agrees with you then she might want to even move to the land of chocolates and swiss cheese. She could get even fatter for you. But won't she be in for a surprise when she finds out your pussy is bigger than hers. You could make watches together and bitch about the sri lankans taking over your fake germanic heritage. Why are you so mad at the jew? It couldn't be that you are a jew. Could it???
