Apparently these SS fans never appear to consider the higher number of cetacean and cargo vessel collisions that would happen if the Faroese imported more goods to make up the amounts they get from the whales. Or the amount of diesel that would burn up. But then some of these people clearly think these islands are located near Denmark and are in Europe. This is why they keep sending petitions to both governments.
It's not like there's a vast land available to grow lots of crops and livestock to live in like other countries or have major trade routes. You make the most of what is around you eat what you can catch/grow yourselves it's expensive to transport and it lessens the effects on environment using big trucks and stuff
Utter crap! The Pilot Whales can only be eaten once a week due to the contamination with high amounts of Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and Mercury. With this being a max amount that can be eaten, assuming that it is in fact eaten once every week, it would not make any negative impact on someone's personal wealth, especially given that the Faroese are much wealthier than most people around the world.
First of all you don’t eat that much of the pilot whales that it would probably be that much money that you would safe. On the other hand as many of you mention it is only “professionals” which kill the animals and that is why it’s not cruel and because not everybody is a professional I guess you will still have to also buy that meat, right? Or don’t you even buy it and the just present it to everybody because they are not interested in eating it themselves or are just killing too many to eat the meat themselves? It is wrong in any way. And your argument does not make any sense because when everybody should kill animals by themselves because it is cheaper then we would really fast not have any of those animals left. And I guess importing stuff is not only at your island expensive but also in many other islands which do also catch fish and kill them but not those very intelligent and social kinds and they do it to eat them and not as you mostly throw them away.
correct. And they only do that for themselves. They don´t export the meat and they only kill enough for their community. You can´t do much else there to get food.
Yes is understandable but the massacre that can and will happen has to be regulated, 1400 dolphins gone in one day is a big hit for the ecosystem that won’t recover fast enough. It might look barbaric yes but it sustain people yet cruelty like that shouldn’t occur.

People are shocked by the whale hunts because they can see it happening as it obviously has to be done in the open. What happens inside the abbatoirs of all the countries that don't hunt whales is far, far worse. But that's hidden away, out of sight, and so people happily carry on eating their bacon sandwiches whilst bemoaning the whale hunts. I understand a special tool is used to kill the whales quickly; it's not harpooning anymore. And they live their lives in the open sea; they're not kept in awful cramped conditions like many farm animals. I personally don't eat meat as I don't like the idea of any animal being killed but I don't begrudge the Faroese and Icelanders doing what they need to do to acquire food. Those angry about whaling should investigate what takes place on a daily basis in their own country's abbatoirs.
Because those activists don't like to mess around with a chinese trawler crew. It is the same like with the anti fur activists, they threat women who wear pelts, but not bikers who wear leather.
Number of sheep killed in middle east and south asia during Eid: 12-15 million Number of Turkeys killed during thanksgiving in the US: 37 million Number of cows killed yearly in the US: 29 million Number of pigs slaughtered in the US per year: 110 million Our outcry is inherently based on what life form we find disposable. It's brutal, the killing of 1500 pilot whales, and the statistics above are not meant to justify killings. However, our general human condition is biased on our perspective that is mostly guided by either religion or tradition and rarely on logic and self reflection. So unless, you yourself do not consume any meat, or equally condemn other systematic killings, it's quite hypocritical to criticize the islanders. I don't and even though I find this barbaric and disturbing, I have no moral ground to single out the islanders. If you do, good for you, you're better human than I am. *the stats above maybe slightly off, as I got them from a quick google search. they are there to just offer a perspective. However, one important factor that differentiates the grind from other killings listed above, is that pilot whales and such species cannot be control-bred like other land animals.
I guess me only questions are, how do they sustain the whale population? is there a certain number of whales they kill? is there only a certain season in which they hunt? are there ever times when they could hunt, but choose not to?
There are only about 2-5 whale killings each year. And differs from 200-500 whales killed each year. We do not hunt the whales if its small packs. We do not go out looking for the whales. But kill them and eat them when they come close to the islands
@@carsonc29 we do monitor the population, because if we’d be whaling too much, it would be illegal to do so. the whales themselves aren’t endangered, but if they were, we would stop whaling.
@@carsonc29 It is monitored, just not by the faroese. There's an estimated 800.000 pilot whales in the atlantic ocean, and the faroese kill approximately 600 a year.
One important factor that differentiates the grind from other systematic killings of animals is that pilot whales and such species cannot be control bred like other land animals. And that factor is particularly critical against the Captain's argument that others cultures eat chicken, beef, lamb, pork etc.
For those who argue this is their way of life, it’s not an excuse. They’ve done this for hundreds of years, but they don’t need to do it anymore. People shouldn’t be excused by still doing barbaric actions like slowly killing whales alive and pass it off as “tradition.” Tradition is not an excuse. If religion isn’t justified for being traditional then neither is this.

@@VHSVulture I bet he was alive and actively involved in the practise and industry all those centuries ago. Time has moved on and it’s about time your agenda does to.
@@VHSVulture The description says the pilot whales are killed for food. But you say contamination seriously reduces the quantity that can be eaten. I hope the catch is correspondingly reduced! I also think little of the statement that the impact on pilot whales is minimal. That's because the Faroese population is very small. To turn your argument round, you could dump serious amounts of mercury in the sea per person and say 'well it doesn't matter, the global impact is very small'. But if we all did that then the global impact would be very significant. Even if just all coastal communities globally. Ditto pilot whale hunting. So why should the Faroese award themselves a free pass?
@@artgreen6915 The catch is reduced precisely because of the pollution. That same pollution kills far more whales and dolphins per year than the Faroese people. If wasn't for the mercury, the whale meat itself is healthy to eat because it has iron, vitamins A and B and doesn't cause allergic reaction.
After working with faroese for a couple of years, i can tell that the only difference i have noticed is the audible «ah/uh» sound after a sentence every now and then
It’s kinda insane people still do barbaric stuff like this today and even with their kids and say “it’s tradition” while horribly mutilating a creature as smart as a whale alive.
Kinda hard to see it and believe it's a hunt. They pretty much guide the whales and dolphin as they go past there island onto the shore. It's kinda like calling fishing during the salmon migration hunting. To each there own I guess
Good for him! I hope it scared the hell out of those self-righteous Sea Shepard assholes. How dare they interfere with these people on their land no less!!
It's weird how on every Sea Shepherds video the people in the comments condemn the Japanese, yet when Europeans kill even more whales they are suddenly not that against whale killing. Moral of the story, it's only bad if the Japanese do it, that's the ideology of your average Anglo person. They don't care about whales being killed, they just don't want the Japanese specifically doing it, which is why Japan only accounts for 10% of all whales killed every year, yet accounts for 100% of all condemnation in regards to whale killing.
Uhm, the difference is that the Japanese do it on an industrial scale, while very few, traditional European people do it. And no, there is very little backlash against the Japanese in comparison.
- "it's not barbaric" ... - "here is the knife we use to do it" ... - "don't come between the whales and us" Yeah bro, you are not barbaric, you are from the middle age

Without beef chicken or pork you wouldn’t go hungry as you can live healthily as a vegetarian. However we choose to eat meat because it tastes nice which is the same reason they eat whale.
@@oilersridersbluejays for a start the Faroe Islands and Denmark are very wealthy countries. I m from the uk and loads of our food is imported. Citrus fruit, grapes, bananas, olive oil, spices, tea, coffee
I have a question for you. Are you a professional butcher? Are all those involved in this whale massacre professional butchers? To be clear I'm not vegan. I eat chickens, pork and beef, bought from the store. There are jobs that allow you to do this, for which you are paid. It is a profession that only those who practice it, it is not a pleasure. That's how people end up eating meat. We don't all gather, the whole family, the whole village, the children to gather the animals in a corner and go with knives in hand to kill the animals just to eat them. We don't participate in killing them to eat meat, we don't do a show. We do not take our children to teach them what violence and brutality mean. For us it is a necessity and not a violent spectacle. What you do is not a necessity, but rather a spectacle, and it seems like a pleasure to some of you. Which is not human. Do not excuse yourself by saying that it is a necessity because it is a big lie. Don't call your people and children and the whole village out of necessity. You don't give a show and you won't be satisfied after killing thousands of whales. From my point of view, you have serious behavioral problems in society, you behave like wild people and you seem psychopathic to the satisfaction you have. God left all this to feed us. But not like that, not a show, not violence, not satisfaction. What you are doing is violence, brutality, inappropriate satisfaction, not the desire to eat to live.
@@VHSVulture :)) So they are not fishermen or butchers. Training means where to cut the whales. Correct? But that's not really their job. They are ordinary people with different professions. They do this only on such occasions. The whole family, neighbors, aunt, puppys and cats also participated. Just for survival, right? That is necessary for everyone to participate in order to live. It's a necessity, isn't it? They are obliged to take part in such massacres. Everything sounds like a tradition. By no means a necessity as you call it. The need manifests itself in a way totally different from the tradition and pleasure you practice. Take a step forward in to the reality because you don't fool anyone. Unfortunately, your law allows this shit, for know. All stupid things has an end.
@@annca Yes, licences are required, and you need proper training for that. www.responsibletravel.com/holidays/faroe-islands/travel-guide/whaling-in-the-faroe-islands
@@VHSVulture I'm a vegan and I actually have the opposite issue...if you are going to hunt and kill... show everybody... use everything... at least in this situation the kids and villagers understand the actions required to end a life, and the choices and violence (and maybe respect?) involved. Insulating the population from such things is how we get the pork and chicken and dairy industries in the USA, which are essentially a blight on humanity. To be clear I'm not super happy with hunting, but I'll take what you do, any day of the week, over the cellophane-wrapped lies that most people digest in the Western world.

He is a legend
Legend
People are shocked by the whale hunts because they can see it happening as it obviously has to be done in the open. What happens inside the abbatoirs of all the countries that don't hunt whales is far, far worse. But that's hidden away, out of sight, and so people happily carry on eating their bacon sandwiches whilst bemoaning the whale hunts. I understand a special tool is used to kill the whales quickly; it's not harpooning anymore. And they live their lives in the open sea; they're not kept in awful cramped conditions like many farm animals. I personally don't eat meat as I don't like the idea of any animal being killed but I don't begrudge the Faroese and Icelanders doing what they need to do to acquire food. Those angry about whaling should investigate what takes place on a daily basis in their own country's abbatoirs.
The Islands and the Whales - great documentary
These Sea Shepherd guys should be fighting for the sharks. People aimlessly kill them, and it's actually significantly denting their numbers.
But they think whales have some kind of new age superior intelligence, they don't give a damn about "lesser" animals!
They are fighting for the sharks.
Because those activists don't like to mess around with a chinese trawler crew. It is the same like with the anti fur activists, they threat women who wear pelts, but not bikers who wear leather.
@@hohltaeuber But they do mess around with Chinese shark killers, as well as Japanese whalers. And-- they aren't PETA. They are Sea Shepherd.
Good. The less sharks, the better.
I want to see one day when whale stop growing in faroe island..
They will die out from industrial pollution, not tiny scale whaling.

Our outcry is inherently based on what life form we find disposable. It's brutal, the killing of 1500 pilot whales, and the statistics above are not meant to justify killings. However, our general human condition is biased on our perspective that is mostly guided by either religion or tradition and rarely on logic and self reflection. So unless, you yourself do not consume any meat, or equally condemn other systematic killings, it's quite hypocritical to criticize the islanders. I don't and even though I find this barbaric and disturbing, I have no moral ground to single out the islanders. If you do, good for you, you're better human than I am. *the stats above maybe slightly off, as I got them from a quick google search. they are there to just offer a perspective.
However, one important factor that differentiates the grind from other killings listed above, is that pilot whales and such species cannot be control-bred like other land animals.
I guess me only questions are, how do they sustain the whale population? is there a certain number of whales they kill? is there only a certain season in which they hunt? are there ever times when they could hunt, but choose not to?
There are only about 2-5 whale killings each year. And differs from 200-500 whales killed each year. We do not hunt the whales if its small packs. We do not go out looking for the whales. But kill them and eat them when they come close to the islands
@@kjartanthomassen3821 does the island have any way to monitor the population? just to make sure they arent over huntng them?
@@carsonc29 we do monitor the population, because if we’d be whaling too much, it would be illegal to do so. the whales themselves aren’t endangered, but if they were, we would stop whaling.
@@carsonc29 It is monitored, just not by the faroese. There's an estimated 800.000 pilot whales in the atlantic ocean, and the faroese kill approximately 600 a year.
It’s almost as if the local populaion know what they’re doing.
One important factor that differentiates the grind from other systematic killings of animals is that pilot whales and such species cannot be control bred like other land animals. And that factor is particularly critical against the Captain's argument that others cultures eat chicken, beef, lamb, pork etc.
They have one important thing in common, though, in that the killing has near to no effect on their overall population. The species is not threatened.
@Julian Grønborg That's my point.
For those who argue this is their way of life, it’s not an excuse. They’ve done this for hundreds of years, but they don’t need to do it anymore. People shouldn’t be excused by still doing barbaric actions like slowly killing whales alive and pass it off as “tradition.” Tradition is not an excuse. If religion isn’t justified for being traditional then neither is this.
ronni olsen approved certified
Don’t know why he bothered
@Pinguinusimpennis, I wish you are welcome wherever you go by the same civilised way...if you go to Portugal, please tell me, I'd love to be there to welcome you
I think you have some colonies and slave descendants to ask forgiveness first.
@@VHSVulture I bet he was alive and actively involved in the practise and industry all those centuries ago. Time has moved on and it’s about time your agenda does to.
Pilot whales are 30% of their diet
May have been once, but now their meat is too polluted with mercury for any person to eat that much. Which we can thank the rest of the world for.
@@VHSVulture The description says the pilot whales are killed for food. But you say contamination seriously reduces the quantity that can be eaten. I hope the catch is correspondingly reduced!
I also think little of the statement that the impact on pilot whales is minimal. That's because the Faroese population is very small. To turn your argument round, you could dump serious amounts of mercury in the sea per person and say 'well it doesn't matter, the global impact is very small'. But if we all did that then the global impact would be very significant. Even if just all coastal communities globally. Ditto pilot whale hunting. So why should the Faroese award themselves a free pass?
@@artgreen6915 The catch is reduced precisely because of the pollution. That same pollution kills far more whales and dolphins per year than the Faroese people.
If wasn't for the mercury, the whale meat itself is healthy to eat because it has iron, vitamins A and B and doesn't cause allergic reaction.
i like him
though faroese is different from norwegian, they have the same english accent :)
Faroese is derived from old Norwegian Norse.
After working with faroese for a couple of years, i can tell that the only difference i have noticed is the audible «ah/uh» sound after a sentence every now and then
Yeah, chase those degenerated activists out of your territory !
Fucking based.
Man imma make myself a whale stew tomorrow.
The definition of PROPAGANDA....
Just put a mark 48 adcap in the sea shepard boat and call it aday
It’s kinda insane people still do barbaric stuff like this today and even with their kids and say “it’s tradition” while horribly mutilating a creature as smart as a whale alive.
Boycott Danish produkt 😥
When will you dare to boycott the Japanese who kill ten thousands more whales each year?
Kinda hard to see it and believe it's a hunt. They pretty much guide the whales and dolphin as they go past there island onto the shore. It's kinda like calling fishing during the salmon migration hunting. To each there own I guess
He also eats chicken.😂 stop the cap i don’t think on their markets are only whales
I don't think so, they don't know what's a chicken, just saw some on tv...
Good news: PAUL WATSON GOT ARRESTED !!!
Best video i have seen

Good for him! I hope it scared the hell out of those self-righteous Sea Shepard assholes. How dare they interfere with these people on their land no less!!
I think the soy boys wet themselves!
I love it.
Oh, hello Satan 👋
Genocide is not accurate.
During this time PPC destroy the sea
Criminals from the Faroe Islands should be treated on the same way as they treat whales.
... what criminals?
Pais se diz modelo de qualidade de vida, mostrem isso para turistas.
Cultura?
It's weird how on every Sea Shepherds video the people in the comments condemn the Japanese, yet when Europeans kill even more whales they are suddenly not that against whale killing. Moral of the story, it's only bad if the Japanese do it, that's the ideology of your average Anglo person. They don't care about whales being killed, they just don't want the Japanese specifically doing it, which is why Japan only accounts for 10% of all whales killed every year, yet accounts for 100% of all condemnation in regards to whale killing.
Uhm, the difference is that the Japanese do it on an industrial scale, while very few, traditional European people do it. And no, there is very little backlash against the Japanese in comparison.
- "it's not barbaric"
...
- "here is the knife we use to do it"
...
- "don't come between the whales and us"
Yeah bro, you are not barbaric, you are from the middle age
If barbarism is the opposite of being a domesticated human like you then I would rather be barbaric.
Hilarious. The Faroese guy mafia threatened them "If you get between us and the whales, it wont be so good... for YOU".
Not a threat when it was a fact
Scares? At the end the man just lose his temper when confronted to facts 😂
Respect fyri marnar
Whales=$
Feroe islands don't sell whale meat .they only share it among themselves
The feroes need to concentrate less on killing Whales and more on eradication of their inbreeding
A lot of foreigners are moving there, you can even see some in this video.
No pain, no pain, just 2 minutes. I'd like to see if he could withstand what he puts the whales through and be able to tell us it isn't painful.
If I had to be killed and choose how, I would like to have my spinalquard cut, because it's fast and humane
It's not any worse than when pigs and cows are slaughtered.

Without beef chicken or pork you wouldn’t go hungry as you can live healthily as a vegetarian. However we choose to eat meat because it tastes nice which is the same reason they eat whale.
There aren´t much plants growing on those islands.
@@unglaubiger5645 you can grow root vegetables and it’s 2021 loads of their food is imported
@@lightningleaf23 You can´t grow vegetables if it´s cold and there´s little to no soil.
Importing everything isn´t sustainable in the long run.
Do you realize how expensive imported food is? This isn’t downtown “whatever the fuck city” you come from.
@@oilersridersbluejays for a start the Faroe Islands and Denmark are very wealthy countries. I m from the uk and loads of our food is imported. Citrus fruit, grapes, bananas, olive oil, spices, tea, coffee
I have a question for you. Are you a professional butcher? Are all those involved in this whale massacre professional butchers? To be clear I'm not vegan. I eat chickens, pork and beef, bought from the store. There are jobs that allow you to do this, for which you are paid. It is a profession that only those who practice it, it is not a pleasure. That's how people end up eating meat. We don't all gather, the whole family, the whole village, the children to gather the animals in a corner and go with knives in hand to kill the animals just to eat them. We don't participate in killing them to eat meat, we don't do a show. We do not take our children to teach them what violence and brutality mean. For us it is a necessity and not a violent spectacle. What you do is not a necessity, but rather a spectacle, and it seems like a pleasure to some of you. Which is not human. Do not excuse yourself by saying that it is a necessity because it is a big lie. Don't call your people and children and the whole village out of necessity. You don't give a show and you won't be satisfied after killing thousands of whales. From my point of view, you have serious behavioral problems in society, you behave like wild people and you seem psychopathic to the satisfaction you have. God left all this to feed us. But not like that, not a show, not violence, not satisfaction. What you are doing is violence, brutality, inappropriate satisfaction, not the desire to eat to live.
They all undergo training for this specific purpose, yes.
@@VHSVulture :)) So they are not fishermen or butchers. Training means where to cut the whales. Correct? But that's not really their job. They are ordinary people with different professions. They do this only on such occasions.
The whole family, neighbors, aunt, puppys and cats also participated. Just for survival, right? That is necessary for everyone to participate in order to live. It's a necessity, isn't it? They are obliged to take part in such massacres. Everything sounds like a tradition. By no means a necessity as you call it. The need manifests itself in a way totally different from the tradition and pleasure you practice.
Take a step forward in to the reality because you don't fool anyone. Unfortunately, your law allows this shit, for know.
All stupid things has an end.
@@annca Yes, licences are required, and you need proper training for that. www.responsibletravel.com/holidays/faroe-islands/travel-guide/whaling-in-the-faroe-islands
@@VHSVulture I'm a vegan and I actually have the opposite issue...if you are going to hunt and kill... show everybody... use everything... at least in this situation the kids and villagers understand the actions required to end a life, and the choices and violence (and maybe respect?) involved. Insulating the population from such things is how we get the pork and chicken and dairy industries in the USA, which are essentially a blight on humanity. To be clear I'm not super happy with hunting, but I'll take what you do, any day of the week, over the cellophane-wrapped lies that most people digest in the Western world.
This is the absolute worst fucking take I have ever read.
Production animals are completely different than wild mammals!
