Whaling in Faroe Islands

[Daniel]

Seems they do eat them

Doesn't seem that the animals are endangered either.

I find whaling to be repulsive and horrifying. There are very few of them left and for me their killers are monsters. I am ashamed that I am in the same species as them.

Why?

Are you a Vegan?

[F1boat]

No, but last time I checked the species of chicken for example is not endangered.

Guys, you don't get it. This is NOT commercial. This is some kind of a local feast. They celebrate something by killing whales. This is what I have problems with.

Yes, disgusting. They don't even kill for food. I think that only humans kill for pleasure.

LOL I find myself agreeing with Tony for once.

Tbh I find the site of dead anything laying on the ground in rows a little disturbing but then again my meat comes from a shelf in a plastic package so that's understandable. In the west animals are just as dead when we kill them in abatoir's where the process is nice and hidden and you don't get a small faeroese or however you spell it inlet red with the blood of cows or sheep or chickens or whatever.

As long as they eat the animals and as long as the animals aren't endangered I don't see the problem.

Both claims which seem to be false.

Well, Daniel:
1| Are the chickens endangered species?
2) which other species kill for pleasure? Please enlighten me.

1) These whales aren't endangered
2) Foxes, ever heard of them?

Foxes? I know them and I know that they are cute little predators, but honestly I didn't know that they kill for pleasure and not for food. To quote Valve, LINK PLEASE?
About the whales, then I guess that I'm pretty hypocritical for I still don't approve killing for sport like these whales or bulls in corrida or for fur like the baby seals. But hey, everybody has an opinion.

Yes, polecats, too. Hell, even my mom's cat in the countryside hunts birds for pleasure. But do you want to be in the same league with them, my friend?
