"UPDATED On December 1, 2008, Faroese chief medical officers announced that pilot whale meat contains too much mercury, PCBs and DDT derivatives to be safe for human consumption."
On a group of islands just north of Europe, the traditional bloody whale and dolphin slaughter takes place every year. The Faroe Islands are a part of Denmark, where whaling is banned, but they have laws that are independent of Denmark's laws...
Many people have seen the graphic pictures portraying the annual drive hunt of pilot whales in the Faroe Islands, an autonomous province of Denmark. During these hunts, pods of pilot whales, a species in the dolphin family, are driven ashore and then brutally killed. About 950 pilot whales die every year during the killing season, which generally takes place in the summer.
The population of the Faroe Islands is largely descended from Viking settlers who arrived in the 9th century. The islands have been connected politically to Denmark since the 14th century. A high degree of self government was attained in 1948.
A group of volcanic islands in the northern Atlantic Ocean between Iceland and the Shetland Islands. Originally settled by Celtic peoples, the islands passed to Denmark in 1380.

It is OUTRAGEOUS!
Make DenmarkSTOP!
This happens in Denmark regularly.
These are the Faroe Islands

Thank you for drawing our attention to this important issue and massacre.
Even though they may not have to submit to Danish Laws, they do still have to comply with international law wish does forbade the hunt of Whales.

What do they use the meat for? Or is just a sport to them?

Sorry I'm late again! just came in from my work...
The Faroe Islands are a part of Denmark, where whaling is banned, but they have laws that are independent of Denmark's laws... The traditional bloody whale and dolphin slaughter takes place every year.
This outrageous!
Metal hooks are driven into the stranded mammals' blowholes before their spines are cut. The animals slowly bleed to death. Whole families are slaughtered, and some whales swim around in their family members' blood for hours. Whales and dolphins are highly intelligent creatures and feel pain and fear every bit as much as we do.
We Can Help Stop This
We must contact the Mrime Minister of the Faroe Islands, the Faroe Islands Tourist Board and the Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs. Urge them to immediately enforce a ban on these bloody massacres. (http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/faroe_islands_whales)
Thanks again! To both of you... :D

Now similar photo's are being forwarded around the world by e-mail (I got the same e-mail twice!). Your island are looking at a whole load of trouble! As 99.99% of the world will see this as an incredibly barbaric act.

But more than 90% of those who see us as barbarians are themselves meat-eaters, and should examine how their own meat is treated, in life and in death.

Desde que tomei conhecimento dessa barbárie, que não tive mais sossego na minha alma.
O faroese interrompe a procriação das baleias piloto, quando elas chegam em centenas, disso o Grande Deus vai cobrar deles!
Espero que um dia tudo isso acabe e, não massacrem mais as baleias e os golfinhos.
Tenho muita indignação da baleação do Japão, pois é cruel a matança de baleias com o arpão.
Peço a Deus que nos ajudem e faça parar imediatamente, pois não suporto ver tanta crueldade!
Muito obrigada por esse espaço para usar como divulgação.
Voce é uma pessoa maravilhosa!
Seja muito abençoado, voce e toda sua família!

INFELIZES esses faroenses...
Até quando irão massacrar os seres marinhos???
Salvemos as baleias e os golfinhos!

Pigs are farmed. Dolphins and whales are not.
Denmark should stop the Faroese for killing whales and dolphins, and will if this reach the media and hurt Denmarks foreign relations.
Like when Denmark stopped the eskimos in Greenland with the seal killing.

EM RESPOSTA DESTE:
turbofritz2 (1 dia atrás) Ex
wow :) lol.
I´m not nazi. senseless killing is maybe things such as bullfighting and stuff.
That we can survive withour whale killing doesn´t mean that we have to stop it.
Denmark can also survive without swine killing. but they don´t stop it just because of that.

If they ever spent any significant time with whales and dolphins in the sea (on their terms) I think people would want to stop this. It is a very subjective and emotional opinion but it's just hard to regard these animals as pests or food once you have seen how like us they really are.

27 / 05 / 2008 EXCLUSIVO: Na desenvolvida Dinamarca, acontece anualmente espetáculo de barbárie contra baleias
Mônica Pinto / AmbienteBrasil
Muitos ficaram legitimamente aborrecidos com a presunção de estrangeiros de que poderiam tomar conta da Amazônia melhor do que nós, os brasileiros. Vários países do chamado “primeiro mundo”, que já acabaram há tempos com suas florestas, agora posam de defensores do planeta e arrogam-se o direito de interferir em territórios que não são deles, mensagem expressa, por exemplo, pelo New York Times na reportagem “De quem é a Amazônia, afinal?” (clique aqui para ler notícia sobre o assunto).
Em que se pese o Brasil continuar se mostrando incapaz de controlar o desmatamento na região, o que muitos defendem é que não se deve confundir ajuda com ingerência.
O curioso é que, em alguns desses países que se colocam como avançados em todos os sentidos, perpetram-se crimes contra a natureza que, no caso deles, não podem sequer ser justificados pelos clamores da sobrevivência.
Agora mesmo, vem circulando pela internet um e-mail que mostra fotos de um banho de sangue, este derramado de baleias, nas Ilhas Feroe. Para quem nunca ouviu falar delas – e isso não seria incomum -, salva-nos a Wikipédia: “As ilhas Feroe ou “ilhas das Ovelhas” são um território autônomo da Dinamarca, parte da Europa, localizado no Atlântico Norte entre a Escócia e a Islândia. O arquipélago é formado por 18 ilhas maiores e outras menores desabitadas que acolhem, ao todo, 47 mil pessoas em uma área de 1.499 km². Na ilha maior - Streymoy - está localizada a capital, Tórshavn.”
Nesse local, como se vê, ligado à próspera e desenvolvida Dinamarca, é realizado um evento todos os anos que inclui encurralar centenas de baleias à beira d´água, para depois ter o prazer de exterminá-las a golpes de facas. Crianças costumam ser dispensadas das escolas nesse dia, para acompanhar o “divertimento”, que funciona como uma espécie de ritual de passagem dos rapazes à idade adulta (veja fotos no final da matéria).
Já circula uma petição na internet pedindo providências para acabar com tal barbárie. “Essa caça esportiva é uma prática que foi abandonada em todo o mundo há muitas décadas, e agora é considerada ilegal em muitos outros países europeus”, diz o texto da petição.
“Os habitantes das Ilhas Feroe não têm necessidade da carne de baleia para a subsistência, e muito da carne é deixada para apodrecer e é jogada fora. Ela não pode ser exportada, pois está poluída com metais pesados e outras toxinas e, assim, não atende os padrões de saúde da União Européia para alimento para consumo por humanos”, prossegue. (Para conferir o texto completo, em Inglês, clique aqui)
Em julho de 2000, a organização Sea Shepherd, que dedica-se à proteger as formas de vida marinhas, velejou até as Ilhas Feroe para intervir na matança anual de baleias pilotos. Conseguiu que o massacre fosse levado às primeiras páginas da mídia européia e, melhor que isso, passou a fazer pressão econômica sobre as companhias que ainda compravam alimentos do mar com origem nas Feroe, o que representa 90% da economia local, com predominância das compras feitas pelo gigante holandês Unilever.
“Acima de 20 mil pontos de venda a varejo europeus cancelaram os seus contratos de pesca a pedido da Sea Shepherd”, informa o portal da entidade.
A luta está, porém, longe de um final feliz. “Na Noruega isso acontece também; é um problema cultural”, disse a AmbienteBrasil Cristiano Pacheco, coordenador jurídico da Sea Shepherd no Brasil. “É um espetáculo de horrores, eles abrem o pescoço dos animais de fora a fora e os deixam agonizando na beira da praia, onde as pessoas ficam aplaudindo”, completa o advogado, para quem é “inacreditável” que aconteça algo assim no mundo em pleno Século XXI.

Whale Rescue Off Tasmania
Sea Shepherd crew member
Arne Feuerhahn keeps an eye on the
last remaining live pilot whale
What is causing the largest mass whale stranding in Tasmanian history?
We intend to find out!
Some 200 pilot whales and dolphins went ashore on King Island north of Tasmania on the week-end. Over 400 whales have died including 50 Sperm whales in January.
Sea Shepherd groups in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania including the crew of the Steve Irwin, responded in a coordinated effort to assist with this effort. Thanks to them, the Australian Parks and Wildlife Service and the good citizens on King Island, nearly fifty whales were saved.
Captain Paul Watson was in Queensland when word of the plight of the pilot whales reached him on Sunday morning. He immediately contacted the crew on the Steve Irwin and instructed First Officer Peter Hammarstedt to do whatever he had to do to get a crew up there as quickly as possible.
King Island is very remote, some 90 miles north of Tasmania in the treacherous Bass Strait. But where there is a will there is a way and five Sea Shepherd crew made it to the island by Sunday evening.
The Sea Shepherd crew was pleased to see that Australian Parks and Wildlife Services had the situation under control and had mobilized some 150 volunteers to help the whales off Naracoopa Beach on King Island. The five Sea Shepherd crew placed themselves under the direction of the Parks and Wildlife Service to assist in the rescue and had nothing but praise for the efforts by the rangers.
Fifty-three of the 54 whales that were alive Sunday morning were returned to the sea. Five of the six stranded Bottlenose dolphins were also returned alive to the sea. Unfortunately some 150 pilot whales were lost.
One whale remains alive on the beach and is being cared for until the sea conditions allow for her to be assisted back to her pod.
The five Sea Shepherd crew included one biologist and two documentarians. We hope to have video from and photos within a few days.
The crew measured the size and length of each animal and took biological samples from the dead whales with hopes of securing evidence as to the cause of death.
Stranding events can be caused by military exercises, seismic research, and pollution. It is well established that pilot whales contain high levels of mercury and this could affect their behaviour.
"We need to get forensic evidence like inner ear bones, tissue samples and even entire brains to conduct the research to find the cause of these strandings," said Captain Paul Watson. "The Australian government has promised to allocate funds for research on whales and this is a good place to start."
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society would like to point out that Parks and Wildlife have been spot on in addressing this latest disaster and they did a splendid job of organizing a constructive rescue that saved a quarter of the stranded animals.

"Los cerdos son famosos los delphines y ballenas no son... Dinamarca deberia feroe para detener la matanza de bellenas y delfines, y si esto llegar a los medios de communication,
Como cuando Dinamarca detuvo el skimos en Groenlandia con el sello asesinato."
Gracias a todos!

CONFLICTS: THE EVIL IS GROWING BECAUSE THE GOOD IF IT HIDES AND IF IT IS SILENT:
Old Will: Gênesis 3,9, God asks Adam: " Where you are? " God still is making this same asks today to each one of us Where we are with respect to MISSION that God gave in them? You use its talent for the practical one of the evil? " The only necessary thing so that the EVIL WINS, is the good men not to make nada" absolutely;. If we will be neutral in the subjects spirituals, we will finish discovering that we are against " Céu".
