    Interesting work you do mate.
    Funny that i stumbled across you on "Mossy Earth" channel...and looked familiar, then remembered : Was in your band's concert a little while back!
    I would recommend doing a bit of journalism on top of this : involving government body interviews about each matter & conservationist statements as a backstory/info about what's being done and how these events affect the ecosystem!

      Thanks! I hope you enjoyed the show of my band :)
      About your suggestion of journalism it's a good point, but I am more an activist myself rather than an objective journalist. I film video mainly to show a lot of interesting volunteering projects, volunteer myself and also show the process of volunteering to encourage others.

      @@BeBraveToAct about journalism : it's more about providing info about the matter, like : Why are things the way they are / what's being done about it/ what are the results etc etc.
      Still nice to see quality work!

    Great video explaining the grind and the mentality - and also the need to be a vocal tourist. This is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, and people should flock to it - and loudly state that they don't appreciate the slaughter.
    Amazing work!

    If humanism means good values and dignity, what I just watched was not only cruel but with a full meaning of unhuman. Does this mean we can destroy anything we want, under the name of “culture”??? To some extent, I do understand the wrong or undesired practices of the "LESS privilege countries" due to their limitation to the most basic resources, but here in the heart of ALL the PRIVILEGES, you choose to hide your ignorance under the name of “culture”. You can stay blind but rest of us, who can question any act before putting into action, will be watching with deep pain your cruelty and CHOOSE to protect them under any cultural nonesense!!!
    All the ones who are Brave to ACT; Thank you very much for being the voice of those who cant. Truly amazing video with lots of sadness in it.

      Prefering local organic food from a sources that is not endangered, does not pollute and not killed for money, unlike almost all the meat killed and eaten rest of the world, is the opposite of cruel or destroying nature

  • @kevintarlier3259

    It is disturbing to see a historical practice, once tied to survival, now devolved into an act of collective cruelty. This massacre no longer has anything to do with respecting traditions, but rather seems to satisfy destructive instincts. By showing their children that death can be dealt so easily, without thought or respect, they are sowing violence instead of empathy. Teaching the next generation that life, in all its forms, is precious should be our legacy, not one of senseless slaughter that disrupts the balance of our world.

  • @7sagas7
    @7sagas7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    A kilo or two sold in the super market does not change the fact of the statement that the hurding of pilot whales is not done with the purpose of commercial gain, as 99.99% of the meat is consumed by the locals, shared with neighboors and the elderly in the region, all free.

    This is a good video and I appreciate you cleaning up the beaches when you can, but I must disagree with you in part. While the Grindadrap is a fairly brutal practice, why attack the community and small-scale local business on the island when compared to larger and more powerful companies, the faroe's whaling and fishing practices have many times less environmental impact? Isn't it punching down against local fisheries and effectively eliminating competition to larger oceanic monopolies like the various Chinese fishing companies that make business by causing local mass-extinctions in ocean ecosystems? In general across the west, we're basically the only countries in the world that care en masse about emissions and pollution, and we have various groups actively policing environmental harms here. Yet the people actually responsible in the global community for the most environmental harm--which are unsurprisingly not western and not developed/educated countries--are, but we don't even lift a finger against them... Demonizing the faroese for their communal fishing practices is not just unfair, but also impractical from an environmental preservation standpoint, as its not heavily industrialized and hence not as harmful to the local ecosystem or populations.

      Grindadrap is a brutal hunting practice that should be banned in 21st century Europe. The same as industrial meat production. Don't you agree?

      Enviromental scientist here .. I agree, I think this is only an example of how human distroy in the name of habits their habitat. And if the Dolpins keep coming for generations.... maybe it is less important that the terrible habits of common man. (plastic, pesteside ect...)
      This culture remind me a bit the ancient culture of european with the bear cults.

    The title is misleading.
    The islanders slaughter around 800 pilot whales a year, in average. Some years more some years 0.
    The islanders do not go out hunting whales, but only if they stumble upon a pod while fishing, and only if the pod is large enough, and only if the pod is near a designated beach, and only if there are enough villagers able to help, only then do they go through with the hearding of the pod to the nearest approved beach. That also means that there is no beach on the islands where a slaughter takes place every year. Again, the title is misleading as that beach may have absolute 0 slaughter happening on it for years

    • @BeBraveToAct
      @BeBraveToAct  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      This year already slaughtered 906 cetaceans. Some pods were as little as 5 dolphins, or 8 pilot whales. Here are stats : facebook.com/photo/?fbid=696133989219079&set=a.371748331657648
      This beach on a thumbnail from Leynar where 179 pilot whales killed on 14/06/23 . Instead of "on this beach" I can use "in Faroe Islands" for title. But what does it change ?
