Who is more barbaric? A: the indigenous people of the Faroe Islands who prefer all animals to be free, even those they eat? They share the meat they catch. Nothing goes to waste and the food is shared equally among the locals. A huge majority of these pilot whales are left alone to continue their good life free in nature where they will die of natural causes. B: the people in the industrialized world who enslave all animals, deprive them of all their natural environment, pump them with chemicals, and then slaughter every one of them in the name of money. Get your focus straight and get rid of the real killer: the Western worlds industrialized pollution - that includes your own pollution.
Rull Mourn The islanders nowadays kill for fun and sport, to relieve their tedious existence. As the meat is highly toxic the meat is not eaten in quantities like it was 100 years ago. Medical health authourities have recommended not to eat any of the meat. The islanders privately admit that the Grind will soon stop.
kiezertosser11 You are the king of B.S. You either make outright dishonest claims or completely ignore facts (because you have no counter claim). Lets make a list of the nonsense and drivel that you constantly spurt out: 1) Lie: This is my favourite one: Whale meat is "organic" that is just hilarious when you know full well the meat is highly toxic. 2) Ignore: The islanders privately admit that the Grind will cease in the coming decade(s) as the meat is toxic as can not be eaten in quantity. 3) Ignore: The whale and dolphin meat is toxic 4) Ignore: The islanders kill Puffins which are listed as vulnerable. 5) Ignore: Incest on the Faroe islands is rife. 6) Lie: Stating the Grind is 'Humane' when a half an hour of brutal chasing and a slow death up to 5 minutes is considered normal. 7) Lie: Forever whining that less than ideal farm methods happen in some countries, so this justifies the cruel treatment of cetaceans in the Grind. 8) Ignore: Endangered species of cetaceans are killed in the Grind. 9) Lie: Pretend that the islands eat whale and dolphin meat as a major part of their diet, when you know full well it is eaten as a delicacy, as it is toxic 10) Lie: Pretend that there is absolutely no excitement and thrill in a Grind, which clearly there is, and is by definition another form of fun and sport.
2 wrongs does not make a right..They do not leave any Pilot whales alone, once a pod is spotted the whole family is terrorized for hours as they are driven into the fjords...not one is spared, pregnant females, babies the lot are slaughtered, and they don't eat them all, there is a graveyard under the sea where Pilot whale bodies are dumped! They don't need the meat, and it is highly contaminated, their own health officials and doctors are telling them to STOP, not cut down, but STOP!...They are wiping out whole gene pools of these highly intelligent beautiful mammals, I'm not condoning the treatment of farm animals by the industrialized world, in fact I don't eat or wear any animals, but what goes on on these islands is wicked, watch some videos, they are laughing as they skewer the spines of these creatures, children missing the spine, these creatures die in agony in the blood of their families, and they are highly evolved, they know what is happening...Nobody knows how many Pilot whales there are, there are many who believe they are endangered.....but that is not the point, the way these animals are killed is not legal in any slaughter house in the western world..... th-cam.com/video/-0WtJH6SmvY/w-d-xo.html
"why do you have to kill anything? She says on an island where there ar 70,000 sheep , salmon farms, a large fishing industry, and shops packed full of food just like any other western country. No one goes hungry and they have one of the highest standards of living in the world, yet they pretend they need to kill dolphins and whales to survive.

@@125minden So it's okay to kill sheep, salmon, other fish and import shops full of food of killed animals from all around the world but at dolphins and whales you draw the line? Haven't heard such a dumb statement in a long time.
@@Teheleri So it's okay to kill whales and dolphins mainly for fun and sport, and eventually dump large amounts. Even though the islanders have many alternatives. Haven't heard such a load of nonsense for a long time.
R you that dumb? There r many things to eat other than these poor creatures that we r not suppose to eat . We r blessed with many other things to eat so we don’t run out of food and die out of hunger.But I guess us humans r very ignorant with these types of things and later on there will be consequences that maybe if we keep doing this , we will actually run out of food.
The hypocrisy of people criticising this is that they eat meat produced on an unsustainable scale in factory farms and criticise a sustainable and traditional way to get food
William Haines whale hunting in the Faroes is NOT "sustainable". According to ASCOBANS / Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) convention secretariat staff (same offices). Faroese whale hunts are NOT designated ‘sustainable’ under ASCOBANS due both to lack of accurate pilot whale population data and the ocean areas covered by the treaty in regards to Appendix II species. The grindadrap has not been declared 'sustainable' by the CMS for the same reasons as confirmed again on the 28th January 2016 by the ASCOBANS coordinator & CMS Marine Mammals Officer based in Bonn, Germany.

@@horse-lover68 Yes,. the world sees how Sea Shepherd for decades have portrayed the islanders unfairly Yes, they eat the non endangered pilot whales. But are they really barbarians? I would say NO They prefer local organic meat from animals that actually had a good life. They do not enslave animals like we do in the "modern" world, and they do not kill animals for money, as we do. You might not like the meat the islanders prefer to eat, but given what meat we eat and how we treat animals then sounds hypocritical for any person living in the industrialized "modern" world to point any fingers and claim those islanders are worse than us and are "barbarians"
@@teldupostarurder is murder, no matter where an animal is sourced, captive or not. Culture doesn't permit such violence, instead of murdering such sentient and advanced beings the state should set up heated gardens similar to the systems set up in antarctica to preserve ecology while controlling invasive species
Idk what to say. Seems like no matter where we are in the world, we ruin it or are in the process of ruining it. Personally, I’d prefer wild caught food over our current factory farmed frankenfood any day. That said, I don’t agree w/ needlessly over killing animals. Be respectful & smart. Hunt what you need. Use what you kill. Appreciate Mother Nature. There’s no honor in mindlessly killing a bunch of animals “just for fun”.
I really, really doubt the Faroese are overkilling. Japan and Iceland might be another story. I'm honestly not certain. There's a seperate question about whales in particular as a species, I suppose. I'm really not a fan at all of the sloppy and unscientific reasoning of animal rights activists, in general. However, our scientific understanding of whales and other cestacians seems to be increasingly pointing us in the direction of recognizing that they probably do posess not only consciousness but sentience and high intelligence. If this is the case, then the argument against killing them even for food becomes stronger than, say, the argument against eating fish or birds or other mammals which do not possess those traits.
What about the over 1500 dolphins that were tortured and murdered (and run over with cars) a couple of years ago?? Dolphins have too much mercury to safely eat, so it was nothing but cruel sport hunting.
Or vegetarians, but i get your point and could'nt agree more..... (one of my pass times when bored is to find sea shepard videos about "the grind" and slammer it with truth...then to 3 hours later find it's been deleted, the repost it word for word, they delete, i repost, rinse and repeat)
Why, exactly? When cows, sheep, chicken, etc. are killed, they die painlessly with one bullet. There is a difference between capturing whales and slowly killing them, as they watch other whales suffer the same fate, and animals dying without any suffering.
@@herbert42069well its like if you had to kill a chicken or kill an ape that looks in your eyes Thing is, whales, especially pilot whales are extremely intelligent and social animals and are a lot closer to humans than the majority of us are aware of. So this senseless slaughtery really has no more right. Back in the day when people truly needed the whale hunts to survive, okay. But today there is NO NEED We live in a modern world and these hunts are nothing but fun to them because it gives them something to do on these islands
Jane, not true at all. That's a lie made by whites in Canada and the United States. They said the same thing when we hunt. Told us it wasn't safe. That's a lie too. Cultural genocide is racism. If your a nazi then you might want to leave because you aren't welcome.

I love how these people are living an authentic life in the faroe islands, it may not be pretty but its real and non polluting... and yet still "While their traditions may belong in the past" utters the channel 4 narrator right at the end.... Does channel 4 also believe UK slaughter houses belong in the past? Does channel 4 believe we should all be Vegan? Or is it because Whales have a cute place in certain societies hearts, unlike cow, pig, chicken, deer, rabbit etc etc.... which are slaughtered & gobbled up daily in their millions. The hypocrisy & sanctimony amazes me.
If it wasn't for the mercury or the fact that puffins are threatened species, then there wouldn't be anything wrong with eating either of them. Hunting puffins is illegal in the Faroe Islands because they are threatened. But pilot whales are not any more endangered than salmon or herring, so there is no reason not to hunt them if it wasn't for the mercury. The grind does not harm nature. It only harms our health. And I am saying this as the most liberal guy you can imagine. Do whatever you like as long as it doesn't harm anyone else, including the nature that we all rely on.
@@blueheart7987 I don't need to do research. I've been there several times. Killing and eating puffins is illegal, is heavily policed, and come with severe sentences. Killing and eating animal species that are not endangered is however not illegal.
Hilarious...... some islanders do indeed still kill Puffins, and the Faroese government have made it conveniently 'legal' to kill endangered or vulnerable species of whales and dolphins. In all other countries they are protected. As I said - do some research.
@@Thor.Jorgensen I live in South Africa and Rhinos aren't poached either. It's very illegal and comes with severe sentences. It certainly must never happen. I don't need to do research.

It’s not for outsiders to tell them how to live their lives but the Grind does seem barbaric to me. Killing whales in isolation with maybe an electric or grenade harpoon is one thing but herding panicked family pods into shallow water and butchering these sensitive and intelligent animals in front of their mates, mothers, children is not something i can condone personally.
@@elite1361 Go to your fancy supermarket where and look at all the slaughter of super smart pigs (which were proven to be smarter than dogs), emotional cows, other mammals and even chicken have feeligs too. All those steaks did not fall from a tree. It comes from animals which live most of their lives in a tiny box, milked and pumped with hormones, and then slaughtered.
pilot whales aren't endangered though, estimates at their population are over 700,000 individuals pilot whales. the Faroese kill 800 a year. you can make ethical arguments against the activity on the grounds of human rights, but an argument against the sustainability and ecological impact of it doesn't hold up i'm afraid.
It's Barbaric!!! I have no words for this. That's the way, we re respecting the nature. We will be over flooding in the end. That's for sure. And nobody can seriously complain about that. It's a shame to be human. End of message.
the truth is that it is easier to criticize others, even when they do the exact same things we do, rather than looking in the mirror and make an examination of conscience.
However I will also add the islanders have an appalling record of environmental destruction. They kill endangered species and kill the most whales and dolphins per capita in hte world. These people are disgusting.
meme me as I do respect your opinion, however we don’t kill endangered species. If pilot wales were to be endangered we woukd stop killing Them. Like Puffins, its illegal to kill Them because of the fact that they are indeed endangered. Please, do your research before commenting something like that.
Just imagine you live on an island with few resources I'm sure you'd eat a whale if you were in similar situation. Look at an Inuit diet or people around northern Canada Greenland region, basically diet of creatures bashed on the head by you or your friend.
Novocastrian Winter you know Ireland yeah? I live hear it's an island too and there's these things called boats, and boats bring food, and planes, they bring food too the islands 'limited resources'
The island literally has tunnels connecting to other islands as well as regular imports of food. There are plentiful resources, the only reason they are doing this is because of "tradition"

The question begs are these whales being hunted as a vital food source, or for cultural reasons or as a sport. If you killing them by the hundreds and thousands despite having other abundant food sources, then it's a sport. If you could care less about mothers caring unborn calfs then it's a sport. If you compare this hunt to the Eskimos who regard the whale to be sacred , and only hunt it because they can't sustain themselves with other food sources, then this is a sport . I do eat meat , so not to sound hypocrital, but I also believe thar what is domesticated for human consumption helps balance the food chain . When we start hunting and harvesting more into the domestic food chain, then we do overstep our bounds .
@@devendeven2023 There are non meat food sources you could be eating as well. Meat isn't _vital_ for the vast majority of people. These people eat whale. They don't just throw it away. Factory farming is unsustainable. This hunting is sustainable. Animals suffer their whole lives living on farms unlike wild animals who get to live natural healthy lives. You do in fact sound incredibly hypocritical. You find all of these reasons to vilify hunting even though the way you get your meat is more cruel and worse for the environment.
@@Jake-bt3fc So, wild animals that live a natural life , should be bludgeoned to death , their unborn calfs killed to satisfy some tradition that has no spiritual value to the animal. You obviously don't see the difference between the consumption by these people versus the Eskimos I agree, there are many other non meat food sources , but don't justify killing an animal in a natural habitat as more civilized versus killing one on a farm. It's still a kill with pain and suffering unless you have a way to anesthetize an animal to minimize its pain
@@devendeven2023 Eskimos are an impossible standard to hold people to. They aren't bludgeoned to death, you're making that up. They hook it then cut it's spine... Pretty standard fishing procedure. It's more humane to let animals live naturally and hunt them from their natural habitat than it is to keep them penned up in horrible conditions their entire lives on a farm.
Lets start a tradition where we kidnap some fishermen and their families from these islands, and feed them to sharks and orcas. Its ok if its an tradition, right?
Coronavirus is just a appetizer compared with the unimaginable destruction and suffering humans can inflict.

Doodle Earth these people have been doing this for 1000 years and they use every part of the whale meat .all food in super markets are very expensive and these whales not going to extinct. Many other country’s keep animals in confined spaces with hardly no space and people criticise us.
Human greed causes industrial pollution and will cause the extinction of the human species. If more ppl lived the way these islanders do it would be better.
Chezire Lopez at least they would be eating the meat, and making a good use of it, these people are doing the exact opposite they kill just for fun, they barely consume the meat as the are all well aware of it’s high amount of mercury contamination!! They kill for pure sadistic satisfaction and this makes absolutely no sense at all!!
xFR3DDY FAZBEARx ok no I’ve said that they barely eat the meat, which is true, they know is toxic so they keep the consumption to a minimum, but during grindadrap they kill so many whales that they don’t even eat them
Except the climate is far more conducive to sustaining one self in other ways than the Faroe Islands. New England isn't 1000km away from the mainland, the Faroes is. Thorshavn, capital of the Faroes, get something 868 hours of sunshine a year. Boston sees 2,633 hours of sunshine a year. Faroes are super windy, Boston isn't. All of New England's climate support tree growth, the Faroes islands never had trees due to its rough climate. Average July temperatures in Thorshavn is 10,7°C(51F), while for Boston its 23.4°C(74F). The Faroes only see two months of the year where the average temperature is above 10°C(50F), while Boston sees this 6 months of the year. See the problem? Summer temperatures dictates what can grow. Nothing but grass and a few bushes grow there, unlike New England with its lush forests and fertile farmland. The conditions of a given place dictates how people live. The conditions on the Faroe islands, Iceland and Norway are such that hunting and fishing is necessary to exist there beyond straight survival. Unless you think its a good idea to literally import everything with huge ships, further killing off the oceans and our planet's fragile ecosystems. You're unintelligent and there's nothing that can ever be done with it. You were simply born that way, lacking the necessary cognitive skills to look at complex issues reasonably.
Nothing in the Faroese Islands is going extinct. There are an estimated 150.000 whales in the waters up there and the Faroese harvest about 1000 a year. They are really not doing anything different than other indigenous peoples living in a harsh climate - they live off off what nature provides.
And gues what? We realized how bad a thing it is to slaughter a species. So what’s your excuse. I see a lot of you trying desperately to rationalize this practice. But your arguments are so shallow and unconvincing.
That’s a completely different situation. First, New England whalers targeted sperm whales. Second, whaling in New England became so destructive because it was done commercially for whale oil. They usually didn’t even eat the meat.
3 Golden star at Sea Shepherds propaganda summer camp. I rock, the teacher said. Some one said he was a descendant of some Goebbels, who ever he was. Funny name
the same ppl that are complaining wouldn't give a second glance to African tribesmen hunting like this. it just goes to show their soft bigotry really - because parts of Africa are less technologically advanced, they're somehow held to a lower moral standard
Probably the biggest difference is some African tribesmen doesn't probably have a job. Probably doesn't own a wallet or have any money. So They can't just walk into a local supermarket and buy beef pork lamb or fish or beer like the faroese. Massive differences
@@Stopthegreed and what exactly is the difference between a whale and a lamb or pig? Why is it not okay to hunt whales once a year but keep pigs and cows in hundreds and thousands together in tiny stables. Leaving them to suffer and live a life that's not even worth being called that. Just so everyone can have their burger. The hipocrisy....
I have never seen anything like this anywhere else but Japan. Don’t try to rationalize it by saying “Well, they do it to!” That just makes you sound like a moron. It’s not right no matter who does it. If Africans jumped off a cliff would you do it? Of course not. So don’t be a fool and act like you are making a rational argument. Because you aren’t.

From there they are dragged onto a beach and their throats slit, this is a process that can take up to 5 minutes. Any western vet in a western country would immediately condemn this nonsense, and these people would be brought before court to face charges of unnecessary cruelty.
Well, pilot whales are not and never been endangered But yes, killing animals is evil I suggest we make a ranking list of all the evil countries in the world. Because your country enslaves millions of animals and kills every generation of them every few weeks, your country makes it to the top of the list as one of this planets most evil country! Yes, these islanders are also evil. They kill animals, many But compared to the rest of the world, they would rank lower
You seem more evil to me as you are spreading false claims that fuel the hate speech against this tiny group of indigenous people What these islanders prefer to eat, for example pilot whales, is not a endangered specie. It has never been endangered, is not and is listed as most likely to remain non endangered These islanders are not evil. Yes, they do kill animals and eat they, but so do we in the western world. We even enslave the animals first under horrible circumstances and we kill them all for money, but that is not the case for these islanders as they do not kill for money, but share the food freely and equally among the locals The islanders are not evil. They might not be angels, as they, like us, also shop and eat farmed animals, but they for sure are not more evil than you and me
Sarcasm aside I do actually agree with you. These people do indeed murder endangered species. These cunts who live in these are islands are of the worst kind. They kill massive amounts of wild life. Evil fuckers.
@suburben yobbo But there are other species of whales and dolphins that are listed as vulnerable or endangered by the IUCN. "This hunting practice is sustainable"? Really? how can killing these species be considered "sustainable"? The truth is, the hunting of wildlife anywhere is not "sustainable" This word is thrown around with little thought about what it really means. Please do not make unsubstantiated claims.
@suburben yobbo Wow! That's very interesting to read and supports my commments 100% So thank you. Read comment 8 - your first link. Clearly you didn't bother to read it at all! It seems like you scored an own goal. *It would therefore seem that the Faroese hunt does not meet the criteria to be considered sustainable under the ASCOBANS definition. In fact, the lack of both reliable data on abundance and any indication that other causes for anthropogenic removal are being taken into accountwould make it impossible to reach such a conclusion. Until much more robust data on all relevant factors havebeen collected and evaluated through independent mechanisms, a precautionary approach would necessitate a firm restriction of deliberate takes.*
It’s not a way of life it’s a tradition that went from killing a single whale to killing a whole pod. The gator islands is sir rich they pay you to live there
it isnt their way of life ITS INDUSTRIAL SCALE SLAUGHTER WITH NO EXCUSE IN 2022 FOR A RICH NATION..or dso you think witch burning should also continue as a tradition
I very much agree that the problem is terrorizing whole pods, seeing their babies, moms, dads, their entire community killed so savagely. They are sentient beings. Can you just imagine the sheer horror they experience?

If this really is a "need" thing then stop importing meat. We hear all this rubbish about them needing the food. Then close the supermarkets and stop importing all the meat and other produce. You hear this argument all the time from these people. "Oh we only like organic meat that's had a great life". Yet you import and consume tons of food that's not organic and also import farmed meat that's not organic. Everyone that I know who eats organically eats only organically. You can't use that as an argument then scoff a ton of meat and produce from your supermarkets that's not organic.
If you really believed in saving the planet then why would you breathe out? Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Clearly doing anything by halves is not enough for you. In reality whatever calories they get from here is saving food from being imported, which in some part saves the planet.
@@leomay4240 The latest footage is of these people cutting baby Pilot Whales from their dead mothers. These people are a disgrace. You are completely delutional if you think this slaughter is helping the planet.
I agree! thats why this hunt is so awesome because it is actually possible and so important where many people are entirely reliant on the global capitalist economy and because of that are entirely impotent to resist and revolt
@@Stopthegreed it helps the planet much more than the factory farms which are far more unethical.... good on these people for trying to maintain reliance on traditional and sustainable systems which put all the labor on their hands instead of relying entirely and having no option but to engage a system who labor is more unethical, environmental cost is massive, and which is far cruely on the animals it harvests in captivity their whole lives
We are living in the 21 century not the 17th century, Spiritual people have moved on from needless blood jobs. It's appalling that this government is doing nothing about it. Karma will come back and hit them where it hurts.
Do you really believe that there is Karma in this world? If there is Karma, then why are millions of children suffering? Why are millions of innocent animals suffering daily in meat farms, fur farms, circuses, in abusive homes? I feel that there is no justice in the world. If there was Karma then the Earth would have self destructed herself long back. On one hand there are criminals who keep on feeding on innocents for satisfying their cold blooded egos and on the other, there are millions of others who just keep on suffering.
Funny that people spend so much time on animals not near extinction. Americans and canadians are making the polar bears extinct because they want to Hunt for their skin. Its a endangered species. Yet no talk about it, most fanatics are concered with fishing healthy species.
I m not a DOCTOR BUT THE FAROESE DOES SELL THE DOLPHINS, WHALES AND PORPOISES TO SUPERMARKETS AND ETC IT IS ALL ABOUT MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. AND CORRUPTION 🐬🐬⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️ AS IN DENMARK AND THE EU IS TOTALLY AGAINST THE LAW TO KILL, MOLEST, BULLY, TOUCH AND EAT MARINE MAMMALS, THEY DO THAT IN THE FAROE ISLANDS WHICH DO NOT BELONG TO THE EU. HOW CONVENIENT ! EXACTLY LIKE IN TAIJI, JAPAN, IT IS ALL ABOUT CORRUPTION
@@sethgold2048 Ok gasúr, They hunt whales to survive as they have very little agricultural land and only livestock are sheep and ponies which aren't sustainable. They eat fish and whale because they literally cannot depend on the island for food and unlike you they don't have a shop down the road to get food everyday
So there are apparently 1,000,000 whales of this sort in the Northern Atlantic. Faroe Island scientists estimate less than 1% p/a swim into the Faroe Island's waters a year. They are then pushed towards the beach and killed quickly. It's an opportunist hunt and is very sustainable. The West just had it's own view on ethics and see the blood in the water as being barbaric. As usual, the West dictating how the rest of the world should live. It's also not advised for many women to eat due to Mercury. That being said, it's not common to eat and usually frozen due to the infrequency of pods swimming to the islands.
*The Faroes : ISLANDS OF EVIL AND DARKNESS Here are 12 reasons why:* 1) Where they kill more whales and dolphins per capita in the world, than any other country, by far, for fun and sport. 2) The whale and dolphin meat is highly toxic, so it can not be eaten except in very small amounts. Large quantities are simply dumped back at sea. 3) Where child abuse is rife, as the islanders knowingly feed their children toxic whale meat. 4) Where they kill endangered species of whales and dolphins, and cynically make up laws to make it legal, yet go against international law on endangered species. 5) Where incest by family members is rife on the islands. 6) Where they strangle endangered Puffins and steal their eggs. 7) Where people knowingly and willingly consume meat heavily contaminated with mercury and don’t give a toss, primarily because they eat meat heavily contaminated with mercury. 8) Where a country with one of the highest per capita income in Europe claims they need to kill whales and dolphins in order to survive. 9) Where toxic whale meat is said to be free, except tourists can buy it in the restaurants and it’s for sale in the market. 10) Where population numbers change each day without any scientific validation. One day there are 128,000 pilot whales, the next 780,000. The fact is no one knows, except for the guy in Klaksvik with the crystal ball. 11) Where an hour of stressful pursuit and many minutes of agony accompanied by horrendous screams of pain is described as “humane killing.” 12) Where the Christian community says the whales are a gift from God, though Leviticus expressly forbids the eating of whale meat. Apparently Jesus made a side trip to the Faroes to give them special dispensation.
1) dont know a fisherman who hates all fishing activities 2) how much of the sheep do you eat? probably just the legs 3) "the health authorities in 1989 recommended the general population to consume only 150-200 g of whale meat per week and only 100-200 g blubber per month. Further, they recommended abstaining completely from eating liver and kidneys." "A 1982 study revealed that a Faroese person would consume an average of 12 grams of pilot whale meat and 7 grams of whale blubber a day." not a mathematician but... 4) pilot whales are nowhere near endangered 5) actually less inbreeding occurs in faroe island than in some continental european countries, its just that over time they became homogeneous 6) lying out your teeth again, puffins are not endangered, also cant get a single source on strangling 7) yes, mercury is a problem, by the solution is to not pollute the ocean, mercury isnt good for it either, it shouldnt be there actually mercury levels have been decreasing already 8) they could survive without it, make money selling it to tourists and its a part of the culture, too bad polluting the sea led to high mercury levels, and im sure we both agree that we should clean the ocean 9) "said to be free" "the meat is not exported, but kept for themselves and distributed amongst the community as free food" when where tourists "amongst the community"? 10) "There are an estimated 1 million long-finned pilot whales and approximately 200,000 short-finned pilot whales worldwide." according to marinebio 11) this same tactic is used by anti abortionists, describing things as brutally as they can, they drive the whales in and then they kill the whales 12) isnt all life a gift from god? also since its so "explicit" why is it not here? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_drink_prohibitions youre good at copy pasting
Oh yeah do you split all your food to homeless? Do you even eat everything on your plate even if its rotten? Arent we saving the sea for eating the toxic animals?
y'all need to realize that there are over 800,000 pilot whales in the North Atlantic alone. they are not even close to being endangered. plus it's those people's way of getting food.
Likely there were tens of millions more before whales began to be hunted and ocean habitats began to be destroyed. These species are now under EXTREME pressure from loss of habitat, climate change, pollution and human activity of many kinds. There is no excuse for placing additional, unneeded pressure on these species. Period.
@suburben yobbo Almost any threatened species has some amount of loss which could be deemed "sustainable". In addition to hunting, marine mammal populations are under pressure from climate change, industrial activity, marine vessel collision and pollution. There is no way of gauging what the tipping point for this species population might because it's habitat is under such extreme pressure.
@suburben yobbo In a situation where an ecosystem is rapidly changing and may be on the verge of a type of collapse, yes, I would argue that....at least for animals high on the pyramid.
Pilot whales are not endangered Pilot whales never been endangered The islanders take out in average 800 pilot whales a year out of a population that is close to 800.000 nearby and more globally, which is less than 0.001 of a population that reproduces 2.5 to 3.5 % annual, meaning the islanders have absolute no impact on the total population number What kills whales faster than anything is if the islanders have to give in and eat like the rest of the world, mass imported mass produced industrial food that kills biodiversity, clears land, pollutes and enslaves way more animals under horrible conditions. Local organic food from non endangered sources is better
@@egmevitasource: trust me bro Their actual numbers are in fact declining every year and the lobby behind the sources that state that they are very populous are very strong and have also gotten in your head as we see
I have a few questions for this: 1) what does living; closer to, with, and in harmony to/with/of nature mean? 1b) does the aforementioned community rituals adhere to the above definitions without logical contradictions or 'special' pleading? 2) is there an alternative means of organizing and expressing the community (in comparison to the above) that involves less harm to both parties; and/or improves the lives of both or only one (without harm to the other)? 3) what would be lost if the aforementioned practices were; replaced, changed, made illegal, or simply stopped? 4) of those things that would be lost (3), can the aforementioned community live without these? Are they integral for the community to function? 5) does continued practice of the community rituals reduce some aspect of the world, such that the 'world' as a whole cannot experience that aspect or is lesser for it? This question seeks to determine if human intervention here is a significant factor that is causing a declining trend that otherwise would not occur without human intervention (human-affected climate change as an example). Is this declining aspect to be considered an acceptable loss?

Mate you are formulating those tough questions to some brain dead barbar Vikings. They won't understand and they don't care. I remember I used to read back in news I 2006 about this and here we are. Still prevalent.
Okay, the excuse that many pigs and chickens die every day is stupid cause they are easy to raise and keep populations high on the other hand whales and dolphins require much more expensive care.
What you do not get is that there are still people who find it more justified to rely on local organic food from non endangered sources, as these islanders do, where nothing is killed for money, but shared equally among family and friends, compared to most of the rest of the world that enslaves animals and raises them in ways that is well documented to be driven my money and puts a huge negative strain on both animals and nature.
@@mackman6602 farming animals is far more efficient than simply going out to hunt. If everyone was to hunt native species with the amount of population we had so many dam species would go extinct. Farming is much more stable than killing without producing.
@@anxietyplague Not everyone lives in parts of this globe lives in areas where farming is something to consider. Luckily for many of these same people they though might live in areas as these islanders where they do not need farm animals since the pure ocean surrounding them has plenty of non endangered local organic food for them. In many cases that food is more healthy and puts less a strain on nature and its animals than the food we get from farmed animals - and it is pretty well documented that farming puts a huge negative strain on both animals and nature
@Anxiety Plague I will also admit that some of the species killed are listed as vulnerable as noted by the IUCN. The meat of the dolphins and whales is highly toxic with methyl mercury, and much of the meat is eventually dumped. They kill mainly for sport, fun and out dated tradition. These people need to hold their heads is shame.
@@mainman5172 Plus they drink baby blood and worship the devil. Do not forget that. Send money to Sea Shepherd and we can continue to spread the real truth
I hope that Mother Nature punishes each and every one of them furiously for the barbaric murders they are doing. They are not just killing for survival, they are purposefully murdering these dolphins in a vengeful way because people are questioning their barbaric acts. It's just for the satisfaction of their ego. In this world how many innocents are suffering for no crime of theirs. But these murderers!!!!!! They should suffer, and I hope that day is not far and Mother Nature will give justice for all those innocent lives these barbarians took.
Primary psychopaths who are doing something like this. Primary psychopaths are incapable of emotions and are driven by sadism (they feel joy by inflicting pain and suffering). Unfortunately most humans don´t realize that these monsters are among us ( also intraspecies predators). They´re definitely not the same as us. Born evil.
@@isabellamusulo9190 Unfortunately this is true what you have written. And the thing that angers me most is that nothing can be done against them and there are millions of innocent victims who suffer because of them. And there is nothing that could bring justice to these victims. We say that there is Karma, what goes around comes around etc. But in practicality nothing happens. The criminals always get away from their crimes and the innocents keep on suffering.
This is a good point and hypocrisy I don't understand when people who eat meat like pigs and cows complain about whaling. Just because someone else does it for you and you can buy it neatly packaged in the store, doesn't mean you are not the culrprit supporting it. I'm a vegetarian because I care about the animals. I don't want to be a part of this slaughtering and lack of empathy for them

The holier than thou, in wanting to shame these people discover that their own culture is poisoning the world in which these people seek to live and maintain a way of life. The holier than thou folks turn out to be greater murderers than the folk they claim are murderers.
I understand it’s all about culture and food. But we are humans, we are intelligent. We should learn to adapt and adjust. We should know how we consumed affects our environment.
It is very simple. These islanders prefer local organic food from animals that actually had a good life, and share the gathered food freely and equally among locals. What is it exactly these islanders need to learn? To enslave animals and kill them for money? How is that better?
@Macoi To be honest these people are a special kind of stupid. There is nothing "organic" about eating highly toxic whale meat, I say let them get sick and hopefully die. The islanders kill these animals in a horrendously cruel and slow method. THe good news the islanders privately admit the days of the Grind are numbered.
What's so disgusting is that they only eat small parts of the whales and dolphins as the meat is highly toxic with methyl mercury. The rest is eventually dumped.
Facts and fiction is obviously in the same boat as your arguments. Pilot whales are not endangered. They have never been endangered and their status is listed as being "most likely to remain so: source the International Whaling Commision, NAMMCO and UICN - all experts and scientists within this fiedl If anything is to change their status it is the ignorant in the industrialized world who keep enslaving animals and killing every one of them for money and raising them in ways well documented to pollute and kill the oceans. The people threatening the oceans and its animals is not these indigenous people but actually the ill informed people from the industrialized countries like you!!! The pollution in the oceans come in large parts from the very farmed animals you seem to prefer!
Dont kill our only Ancestors we have left on this world!! Hello wtf. Go watch THE WHALE RIDER !! Based on a true story in Aotearoa. Paikea was a boy not a girl btw
I considered that Northern Europe is very developped specially in terms of the rights, human rights, gender equality, animal welfaire, But your ISLAND taught me that I was wrong.
yes I can understand that because small minded, cut of, many involved however I live uk I do not go on a fox hunt? are you being brainwashed? It is not normal for children to see this, some may not like whale meat. the brighter ones will leave the island, travel, read and get educated and discover not all islands do this
This made me sad... I respect every single culture as I hope them to respect mine (Portuguese). There’s no need to do this in these times. There are alternatives. In Portugal we found alternatives.
These people are respectful people who live in better balance with nature and its resources than most people on this planet. They do not enslave animals as most of the rest of us in the world do. They do not kill animals for money, but share the meat they gather equally and freely among family and neighbors. They prefer local organic food and they prefer all animals, including the few they eat, all lived a good life They happen to slaughter their animals out in the open, turning the sea read for a few minutes and that looks brutal to many ill informed city people, but if they knew the origin of their own mean products they would know it is no way more brutal or less justified than our very own industrialized food. If you want a world where people treat nature better, only take what nature can withstand to share, not kill for money, but only take what you need and share what you got, than we could learn a lot from nature people like these islanders. They are not perfect, but they for sure have fewer flawas than most of the rest of the world. They are just often misrepresented by the world media and too often demonized by the ill informed
@@blueheart8786 dear Blue Heart Portugal has the continental area and two archipelagos. One is called Açores (Azores) with very very remote islands smaller than Faroe. It was a common practice to kill whales. They had very very small boats, mostly made of wood, and old and fragile equipments to catch the whales, brave men had no choice but to do it to survive, they were called baleeiros. People from Azores are very unique, with a very rich culture, mostly in literature. After many years, they stopped the whale catching, they found alternatives, organic food, farming developments, tourism. Well, they don’t have the oil that Faroe has. Well, it’s not by a mere ill city person, it’s just by a person who is from a place who found alternatives, that adapted to the new era. Times change, some things became brutal, not only this but many other that were common. Ill may be someone who was stuck in time and a survived is someone who adapted to it.
@@alexandradecastro5142 First of, the Faroese do not live in a sub-tropical place where you easily can get a lot of things to grow. The Faroe Islanders live on what is basically basalt rock islands with very thing soil, and little to nothing can grow on the islands. Luckily for them their surrounding ocean has plenty of non endangered resources to nourish the Faroese population. You said "they got oil"? What oil? The islanders have no oil, but have to import it. The Faroese see no need to change. They see the world how needs to change. The source of food the islanders prefer is more more ecofriendly than the food most of the world eats. Forcing them to give up their local organic food only would force them to rely even more on imported food and we all know that is not economical, sustainable or more justified way of food The world could learn a lot from nature people like these that do not enslave animals and prefer not to kill animals for money, but gladly share their food freely and equally among family and neighboors. They only take what is proven to withstand to share with them, and leave the rest alone For to long ill informed city people have tried to demonize these islanders, which is stupid given how their own way of life is hurting this globe billion times more and how their very own food is way way more cruel and absolutely not more justified!
@@blueheart8786 in this century, there’s no justification to kill animals, lives with soul. No matter how you try to find justifications, there isn’t one. And please, go search more about Azores because it’s certain that you don’t know anything about it. If Faroe adapted to times to have a Michelin star restaurant, why not a more sustainable practice ?
Yeah, preferring meat from animals that actually had a good life is strange to us. Enslaving animals in torturing tiny cages and mass murder all of them for money is the normal way of getting food.
As a Christian, I was taught God created animals for mankind to have dominion and God loves us so much he told us we can eat meat to survive, and also he told us not to judge others on what they eat. If its for food i am not judging. What hypocrisy is this if you eat meat and judge these people.
If you are a Christian, then you will know that Levitics expressly forbids the eating of any whale meat. Perhaps you are one of those Christians who cherry pick to suit their own twisted narrative?
@@uselessaf4058 Are you too lazy to look for yourself asshat? Not that I believe any the nonsense, supersition, contradctions and witchcraft written in the Bible.
God was created by humans in their own image so they can justify their disgusting acts as some sort of message from this higher power than they have control over. Humans can’t deal with their own guilt so why not create a magical man in the sky who can take it on for them if they step into a box and ‘confess’... can’t cope anymore fml religion is no excuse for cruelty as cruelty is a reality
People need to drastically reduce their red meat consumption. Sadly oceans are being overfished and their meat is containing higher mercury and lead levels. The answer is in poultry farming as it is the most sustainable of all. Eat more chicken, it tastes great!
hmm.. they enslave fewer animals then most countries, they do not kill animals for money in same scale as most countries, and most of the meat they gather is shared equally and freely among the locals. To me sounds less psychopathy then how we live, race and kill animals
@@Couscouscouscous Well spotted. There are a lot of incels making nasty comments on these videos...well I suppose if you are already repulsive to women, why not go for broke.
A traditional house in the Faroe Islands uses rocks or concrete to made the foundation of the house, and often the upper level is made of wood, as it isolates better per centimeter than concrete and creates better in-side climate. Though more and more houses use more concrete than before, as the number of storms in the North Atlantic require stronger and stronger houses. While most houses have modern roofing, still many use grass turf as roofing, as it keeps the warm inside the house and is heavy which helps stabilize the house during storms. More and more houses use therminal heating from water being pumped hundreds and hundreds of meters down into the rocky island and earths inner heatness warms the water that then warms the housing. To drill the wholes is expensive, but then you pay a fraction of a precentage to pump the water down/up compared to the oil other houses use for heating. The electriticy comes mainly from windmills. At times 100% of the electricity on the islands comes from hydroplants or windmills. During the summer months when their is less rain and less wind they still rely on oil to make electriticy, but the goal is to become 100% independant of oil to create electricity by 2030. 3/4 of the year they have already reached that goal - the rest 1/4 requires more windmills, which are planned for the next 2-3 years.
Interesting that every time the discussion about the Faroese annual whale hunt starts, the "defenders" of this hunt start to whine about hypocrisy and making comparisons with the beef industry. Probably all of the opponents of the grindagrap are equally opposed to bio-industrial ways of raising cattle and pork for beef, meat and milk consumption. The local Faroe health officer has a long-term research program running and educates the locals on reduced consumption of methyl mercury-poisoned whale meat. The recommended consumption is max. 100 gram per week for adults. Children and pregnant women are advised to refrain from eating whale blubber and meat. There is really no need for the hunt. With one of the highest capita in Europe, the standard of living is very high on the Faroe. In times of globalisation and everyone looking for an identity, its this old - and historically necessary - tradition that unifies a certain group of Faroese, bonding, and with a feeling of togetherness they try to preserve old traditions and values...but please, not at the expenses of whales and dolphins: these times are long gone!
That's like saying Americans shouldn't be able to eat bacon for breakfast because pigs are intelligent, and feel pain. Favouring different species doesn't prove an argument.
@@ZFilms11 And using types of meat that the faroes consume also isn't an argument. These people have access to everything. They have beef, pork, lamb and fish. They have supermarkets. This bs is done because they enjoy slaughtering whales. It's like a sick sport.
@@Stopthegreed Excuse me, where do you think this meat from the supermarket comes from? We don't have locally sourced pork, beef, and barely have enough fish for ourselves as it's exported. I live here, yknow? No to mention lamb it very day isn't a very sustainable diet. If you want to say it's a sport, go ahead, but I think people enjoy eating food more. Ask your own country.
Most animals are smart The pigs are even more intelligent than any pilot whale. We are all very well aware of those facts, but that has not stopped humans around the world to enslave, kill and eat pigs!
Whales are smart and humans have no reason to kill them. The Faroe islanders certainly don't have any reason to kill these mammals, as they kill for fun, sport and out dated tradition. In addition they eventually dump most of the meat as it is toxic.

The Faroe islanders certainly don't have any reason to kill these mammals, as they kill for fun, sport and out dated tradition. In addition they eventually dump most of the meat as it is toxic."
I am the original Blue Heart. THe above statement is a TROLL who creates FAKE PROFILES, and pretends that I am copying his profile. This person does this because he has a pyshocological hatred of Sea Shepherd. Not that I care care.
Whale meat is actually super toxic and polluted. Also, two years ago 1428 pilot whales were slaughtered at the grind. Who can eat this much whale meat? For days they dumped dead whales back into the ocean. They have different food sources. Today no one has to kill a whale to get food on the table!
It's totally unnecessary and only happens because of traditional reasons. They have sheep's, cows, fish farms and more. There is no factual need to massacre thousands of super smart whales every year

Who is more barbaric?
A: the indigenous people of the Faroe Islands who prefer all animals to be free, even those they eat? They share the meat they catch. Nothing goes to waste and the food is shared equally among the locals. A huge majority of these pilot whales are left alone to continue their good life free in nature where they will die of natural causes.
B: the people in the industrialized world who enslave all animals, deprive them of all their natural environment, pump them with chemicals, and then slaughter every one of them in the name of money.
Get your focus straight and get rid of the real killer: the Western worlds industrialized pollution - that includes your own pollution.
keizersSoze11
...Exactly.
Rull Mourn The islanders nowadays kill for fun and sport, to relieve their tedious existence. As the meat is highly toxic the meat is not eaten in quantities like it was 100 years ago. Medical health authourities have recommended not to eat any of the meat. The islanders privately admit that the Grind will soon stop.
kiezertosser11 You are the king of B.S. You either make outright dishonest claims or completely ignore facts (because you have no counter claim). Lets make a list of the nonsense and drivel that you constantly spurt out:
1) Lie: This is my favourite one: Whale meat is "organic" that is just hilarious when you know full well the meat is highly toxic.
2) Ignore: The islanders privately admit that the Grind will cease in the coming decade(s) as the meat is toxic as can not be eaten in quantity.
3) Ignore: The whale and dolphin meat is toxic
4) Ignore: The islanders kill Puffins which are listed as vulnerable.
5) Ignore: Incest on the Faroe islands is rife.
6) Lie: Stating the Grind is 'Humane' when a half an hour of brutal chasing and a slow death up to 5 minutes is considered normal.
7) Lie: Forever whining that less than ideal farm methods happen in some countries, so this justifies the cruel treatment of cetaceans in the Grind.
8) Ignore: Endangered species of cetaceans are killed in the Grind.
9) Lie: Pretend that the islands eat whale and dolphin meat as a major part of their diet, when you know full well it is eaten as a delicacy, as it is toxic
10) Lie: Pretend that there is absolutely no excitement and thrill in a Grind, which clearly there is, and is by definition another form of fun and sport.
2 wrongs does not make a right..They do not leave any Pilot whales alone, once a pod is spotted the whole family is terrorized for hours as they are driven into the fjords...not one is spared, pregnant females, babies the lot are slaughtered, and they don't eat them all, there is a graveyard under the sea where Pilot whale bodies are dumped! They don't need the meat, and it is highly contaminated, their own health officials and doctors are telling them to STOP, not cut down, but STOP!...They are wiping out whole gene pools of these highly intelligent beautiful mammals, I'm not condoning the treatment of farm animals by the industrialized world, in fact I don't eat or wear any animals, but what goes on on these islands is wicked, watch some videos, they are laughing as they skewer the spines of these creatures, children missing the spine, these creatures die in agony in the blood of their families, and they are highly evolved, they know what is happening...Nobody knows how many Pilot whales there are, there are many who believe they are endangered.....but that is not the point, the way these animals are killed is not legal in any slaughter house in the western world..... th-cam.com/video/-0WtJH6SmvY/w-d-xo.html

We r blessed with many other things to eat so we don’t run out of food and die out of hunger.But I guess us humans r very ignorant with these types of things and later on there will be consequences that maybe if we keep doing this , we will actually run out of food.
The hypocrisy of people criticising this is that they eat meat produced on an unsustainable scale in factory farms and criticise a sustainable and traditional way to get food
That's rubbish. I know I'm vegan and Pamela Anderson is as well. So stop assuming.
William Haines whale hunting in the Faroes is NOT "sustainable". According to ASCOBANS / Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) convention secretariat staff (same offices). Faroese whale hunts are NOT designated ‘sustainable’ under ASCOBANS due both to lack of accurate pilot whale population data and the ocean areas covered by the treaty in regards to Appendix II species. The grindadrap has not been declared 'sustainable' by the CMS for the same reasons as confirmed again on the 28th January 2016 by the ASCOBANS coordinator & CMS Marine Mammals Officer based in Bonn, Germany.

@@horse-lover68 Yes,. the world sees how Sea Shepherd for decades have portrayed the islanders unfairly
Yes, they eat the non endangered pilot whales. But are they really barbarians?
I would say NO
They prefer local organic meat from animals that actually had a good life. They do not enslave animals like we do in the "modern" world, and they do not kill animals for money, as we do. You might not like the meat the islanders prefer to eat, but given what meat we eat and how we treat animals then sounds hypocritical for any person living in the industrialized "modern" world to point any fingers and claim those islanders are worse than us and are "barbarians"
@@teldupostarurder is murder, no matter where an animal is sourced, captive or not. Culture doesn't permit such violence, instead of murdering such sentient and advanced beings the state should set up heated gardens similar to the systems set up in antarctica to preserve ecology while controlling invasive species
Idk what to say. Seems like no matter where we are in the world, we ruin it or are in the process of ruining it. Personally, I’d prefer wild caught food over our current factory farmed frankenfood any day. That said, I don’t agree w/ needlessly over killing animals. Be respectful & smart. Hunt what you need. Use what you kill. Appreciate Mother Nature. There’s no honor in mindlessly killing a bunch of animals “just for fun”.
I really, really doubt the Faroese are overkilling. Japan and Iceland might be another story. I'm honestly not certain.
There's a seperate question about whales in particular as a species, I suppose.
I'm really not a fan at all of the sloppy and unscientific reasoning of animal rights activists, in general. However, our scientific understanding of whales and other cestacians seems to be increasingly pointing us in the direction of recognizing that they probably do posess not only consciousness but sentience and high intelligence. If this is the case, then the argument against killing them even for food becomes stronger than, say, the argument against eating fish or birds or other mammals which do not possess those traits.
What about the over 1500 dolphins that were tortured and murdered (and run over with cars) a couple of years ago?? Dolphins have too much mercury to safely eat, so it was nothing but cruel sport hunting.

No. They still use plastic, they still use the industrial products that will kill more sealife than any whalehunt can. Fucking hypocrite.
Why, exactly? When cows, sheep, chicken, etc. are killed, they die painlessly with one bullet. There is a difference between capturing whales and slowly killing them, as they watch other whales suffer the same fate, and animals dying without any suffering.

If it wasn't for the mercury or the fact that puffins are threatened species, then there wouldn't be anything wrong with eating either of them.
Hunting puffins is illegal in the Faroe Islands because they are threatened. But pilot whales are not any more endangered than salmon or herring, so there is no reason not to hunt them if it wasn't for the mercury. The grind does not harm nature. It only harms our health.
And I am saying this as the most liberal guy you can imagine.

This isn't remotely close to as inhumane as factory farming. If you eat factory farmed meat you have no right to criticize this.
The question begs are these whales being hunted as a vital food source, or for cultural reasons or as a sport.
If you killing them by the hundreds and thousands despite having other abundant food sources, then it's a sport. If you could care less about mothers caring unborn calfs then it's a sport. If you compare this hunt to the Eskimos who regard the whale to be sacred , and only hunt it because they can't sustain themselves with other food sources, then this is a sport .
I do eat meat , so not to sound hypocrital, but I also believe thar what is domesticated for human consumption helps balance the food chain . When we start hunting and harvesting more into the domestic food chain, then we do overstep our bounds .
@@devendeven2023 There are non meat food sources you could be eating as well. Meat isn't _vital_ for the vast majority of people. These people eat whale. They don't just throw it away.
Factory farming is unsustainable. This hunting is sustainable. Animals suffer their whole lives living on farms unlike wild animals who get to live natural healthy lives.
You do in fact sound incredibly hypocritical. You find all of these reasons to vilify hunting even though the way you get your meat is more cruel and worse for the environment.
@@Jake-bt3fc So, wild animals that live a natural life , should be bludgeoned to death , their unborn calfs killed to satisfy some tradition that has no spiritual value to the animal. You obviously don't see the difference between the consumption by these people versus the Eskimos
I agree, there are many other non meat food sources , but don't justify killing an animal in a natural habitat as more civilized versus killing one on a farm.
It's still a kill with pain and suffering unless you have a way to anesthetize an animal to minimize its pain
@@devendeven2023 Eskimos are an impossible standard to hold people to.
They aren't bludgeoned to death, you're making that up. They hook it then cut it's spine... Pretty standard fishing procedure.
It's more humane to let animals live naturally and hunt them from their natural habitat than it is to keep them penned up in horrible conditions their entire lives on a farm.

I guess Coronavirus did do nature the long due justice..
Coronavirus is just a appetizer compared with the unimaginable destruction and suffering humans can inflict. Humans will go out with style in a nuclear fireball and kill a bunch of species in the process. Only phenomena that take million of years like super volcanoes and meteorites can match that.
They maybe are apes but you have to give them credit, they are extremely intelligence and stupid at the same time.

lol faroe islands had like 600 total cases so... maybe a couple of ancient ppl might have died? these places are the most likely to survive because they live more closely to "nature". they'll be eating whale long after vegetarians in bigger countries have starved
@@manfrombritain6816 I don’t mind people eating meat.. I am more concerned with the species being extinct just for pleasure of killing.. Kill what you can eat.. Going on a rampage is not right..
@@jassbrar408 it's not a rampage, it's getting stores for the entire year. What difference does it make if they kill 10 now or 10 over the course of the year?
@@manfrombritain6816 oh ok.. This kind of information never gets out there to people & hence they form a viewpoint..
Meanwhile in Montenegro, our NGOs try to prevent the tradition of annual shooting of a rooster attached to a plank on the sea.
I have many questions lol
Good
What?
are the whales used for food and other things or are they slaughtered because this is a tradition?
Food. Simple as that
Tradition
I used to think Faroe islands is a heaven. I guess every rose has a thorn
What is wrong about killing whales
Me is penguin
Northing much really
well it is for the people lol
Me is penguin it’s unnecessary and cruel? These people have cities and supermarkets where they can purchase plant based foods if needed but nah they choose to slaughter as many whales as they can for no reason? It’s a disgusting waste
Doodle Earth these people have been doing this for 1000 years and they use every part of the whale meat .all food in super markets are very expensive and these whales not going to extinct. Many other country’s keep animals in confined spaces with hardly no space and people criticise us.
Where's South Parks version of this?! Or is it only the Japanese?
Their diet is full of mercury! I'd love to see the film!
Pamela Anderson neddednt say anything. Her remarks are really dumb.
do you even know her
At least she’s trying to make a difference
When tradition still is better then "modern" way of doing things
Human greed causes industrial pollution and will cause the extinction of the human species. If more ppl lived the way these islanders do it would be better.
True
Yeah
Y’all wouldn’t be complaining if Africans or a third world country doing
Chezire Lopez at least they would be eating the meat, and making a good use of it, these people are doing the exact opposite they kill just for fun, they barely consume the meat as the are all well aware of it’s high amount of mercury contamination!! They kill for pure sadistic satisfaction and this makes absolutely no sense at all!!
Werewolffy what doesn’t make sense is your comment.
xFR3DDY FAZBEARx not my fault you’re not able to read and comprehend!!
Werewolffy what i meant was, you seem to misunderstand the fact that they do eat the whale meat and that you implied that they did not was odd to me.
xFR3DDY FAZBEARx ok no I’ve said that they barely eat the meat, which is true, they know is toxic so they keep the consumption to a minimum, but during grindadrap they kill so many whales that they don’t even eat them
Whaling used to be a "way of life" for New Englanders until almost all the whales went extinct
Except the climate is far more conducive to sustaining one self in other ways than the Faroe Islands. New England isn't 1000km away from the mainland, the Faroes is. Thorshavn, capital of the Faroes, get something 868 hours of sunshine a year. Boston sees 2,633 hours of sunshine a year. Faroes are super windy, Boston isn't. All of New England's climate support tree growth, the Faroes islands never had trees due to its rough climate.
Average July temperatures in Thorshavn is 10,7°C(51F), while for Boston its 23.4°C(74F). The Faroes only see two months of the year where the average temperature is above 10°C(50F), while Boston sees this 6 months of the year. See the problem? Summer temperatures dictates what can grow. Nothing but grass and a few bushes grow there, unlike New England with its lush forests and fertile farmland.
The conditions of a given place dictates how people live. The conditions on the Faroe islands, Iceland and Norway are such that hunting and fishing is necessary to exist there beyond straight survival. Unless you think its a good idea to literally import everything with huge ships, further killing off the oceans and our planet's fragile ecosystems.
You're unintelligent and there's nothing that can ever be done with it. You were simply born that way, lacking the necessary cognitive skills to look at complex issues reasonably.
Nothing in the Faroese Islands is going extinct. There are an estimated 150.000 whales in the waters up there and the Faroese harvest about 1000 a year. They are really not doing anything different than other indigenous peoples living in a harsh climate - they live off off what nature provides.
And gues what? We realized how bad a thing it is to slaughter a species. So what’s your excuse. I see a lot of you trying desperately to rationalize this practice. But your arguments are so shallow and unconvincing.
actually it was replaced by kerosene and the industrial revolution which went on to put mercury in all the whales and kill the rest of planet
That’s a completely different situation. First, New England whalers targeted sperm whales. Second, whaling in New England became so destructive because it was done commercially for whale oil. They usually didn’t even eat the meat.

Am I a retarded idiot or Dr Goebbels, living in the Riveria?
Toxic meat is what I love.
the same ppl that are complaining wouldn't give a second glance to African tribesmen hunting like this. it just goes to show their soft bigotry really - because parts of Africa are less technologically advanced, they're somehow held to a lower moral standard
Probably the biggest difference is some African tribesmen doesn't probably have a job. Probably doesn't own a wallet or have any money. So They can't just walk into a local supermarket and buy beef pork lamb or fish or beer like the faroese. Massive differences
@@Stopthegreed and what exactly is the difference between a whale and a lamb or pig? Why is it not okay to hunt whales once a year but keep pigs and cows in hundreds and thousands together in tiny stables. Leaving them to suffer and live a life that's not even worth being called that. Just so everyone can have their burger. The hipocrisy....
I have never seen anything like this anywhere else but Japan. Don’t try to rationalize it by saying “Well, they do it to!” That just makes you sound like a moron. It’s not right no matter who does it. If Africans jumped off a cliff would you do it? Of course not. So don’t be a fool and act like you are making a rational argument. Because you aren’t.

@@harikrishnabhat5657 I support whales and dolphins killed, I also am a big supporter of LQBT rights in the Faroe islands. Being gay and slaughtering whales and dolphins for tradition and sport, is a way of life for me in Torshavn.

But at Sea SHepherd we only care about cute animals. We do not care about the enslavement of ugly pigs and dumb cows. They are all right to be mass murdered for money.

I don't know why people are angry at the Faroese people for this. The majority of them are against the practice.
People get angry at all kinds of things that do not directly concern them. That's not necessarily a bad thing in all cases. However, it can get quite silly with the help of the internet sometimes.
My family is from the Faroe Islands I can assure you all the blubber is used
nickys34 we like doing the traditional way and it is harder to catch them one by one
nickys34 fair enough
what's that go to do with it my family are from Ireland they do not go as a cult on a sea hunt
it is 2020 old fashioned
what are you going to put on your cv
I hunt and torture and kill whales in front of children
you will lose trust very quick
Claire Cats to clarify because you are misinformed the pilot wales and neither endanger or tortured because the Faroese use a special type of knife that’s almost instantaneously kills the whale without suffering
@@memkem1725 Several other species the islanders also kill are listed as 'vulnerable' or 'endangered' by the IUCN, and these are internationally protected. To pretend that the killing of whales and dolphins is somehow humane is absurd nonsense. Pods of whales or dolphins are rounded up and chased usually up to 12 nautical miles to the point of exhaustion. From there they are dragged onto a beach and their throats slit, this is a process that can take up to 5 minutes. Any western vet in a western country would immediately condemn this nonsense, and these people would be brought before court to face charges of unnecessary cruelty.
It’s endangered species! Evil humans!
Well, pilot whales are not and never been endangered
But yes, killing animals is evil
I suggest we make a ranking list of all the evil countries in the world.
Because your country enslaves millions of animals and kills every generation of them every few weeks, your country makes it to the top of the list as one of this planets most evil country!
Yes, these islanders are also evil. They kill animals, many
But compared to the rest of the world, they would rank lower
You seem more evil to me as you are spreading false claims that fuel the hate speech against this tiny group of indigenous people
What these islanders prefer to eat, for example pilot whales, is not a endangered specie. It has never been endangered, is not and is listed as most likely to remain non endangered
These islanders are not evil. Yes, they do kill animals and eat they, but so do we in the western world. We even enslave the animals first under horrible circumstances and we kill them all for money, but that is not the case for these islanders as they do not kill for money, but share the food freely and equally among the locals
The islanders are not evil. They might not be angels, as they, like us, also shop and eat farmed animals, but they for sure are not more evil than you and me
Sarcasm aside I do actually agree with you. These people do indeed murder endangered species. These cunts who live in these are islands are of the worst kind. They kill massive amounts of wild life. Evil fuckers.
@suburben yobbo But there are other species of whales and dolphins that are listed as vulnerable or endangered by the IUCN. "This hunting practice is sustainable"? Really? how can killing these species be considered "sustainable"? The truth is, the hunting of wildlife anywhere is not "sustainable" This word is thrown around with little thought about what it really means. Please do not make unsubstantiated claims.
@suburben yobbo Wow! That's very interesting to read and supports my commments 100% So thank you. Read comment 8 - your first link. Clearly you didn't bother to read it at all!
It seems like you scored an own goal.
*It would therefore seem that the Faroese hunt does not meet the criteria to be considered sustainable under the ASCOBANS definition. In fact, the lack of both reliable data on abundance and any indication that other causes for anthropogenic removal are being taken into accountwould make it impossible to reach such a conclusion. Until much more robust data on all relevant factors havebeen collected and evaluated through independent mechanisms, a precautionary approach would necessitate a firm restriction of deliberate takes.*
I know that is their way of life. But man.. its so heart breaking seeing all those beautiful creature being slaughtered 😢😢😢
It’s not a way of life it’s a tradition that went from killing a single whale to killing a whole pod. The gator islands is sir rich they pay you to live there
it isnt their way of life ITS INDUSTRIAL SCALE SLAUGHTER WITH NO EXCUSE IN 2022 FOR A RICH NATION..or dso you think witch burning should also continue as a tradition
Get over it
Go to the animal farms in America where the food comes from if you wanna see brutal
@@jedsteelwell2354 exactly 👏

What do you mean?
If this really is a "need" thing then stop importing meat. We hear all this rubbish about them needing the food. Then close the supermarkets and stop importing all the meat and other produce. You hear this argument all the time from these people. "Oh we only like organic meat that's had a great life". Yet you import and consume tons of food that's not organic and also import farmed meat that's not organic. Everyone that I know who eats organically eats only organically. You can't use that as an argument then scoff a ton of meat and produce from your supermarkets that's not organic.
If you really believed in saving the planet then why would you breathe out? Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Clearly doing anything by halves is not enough for you. In reality whatever calories they get from here is saving food from being imported, which in some part saves the planet.
@@leomay4240 The latest footage is of these people cutting baby Pilot Whales from their dead mothers. These people are a disgrace. You are completely delutional if you think this slaughter is helping the planet.
I agree! thats why this hunt is so awesome because it is actually possible and so important where many people are entirely reliant on the global capitalist economy and because of that are entirely impotent to resist and revolt
@@Stopthegreed it helps the planet much more than the factory farms which are far more unethical.... good on these people for trying to maintain reliance on traditional and sustainable systems which put all the labor on their hands instead of relying entirely and having no option but to engage a system who labor is more unethical, environmental cost is massive, and which is far cruely on the animals it harvests in captivity their whole lives
@@leomay4240 There are a bunch of headhunters in Brazil who’d love to discuss tradition with you lovely folk. I bet that can be arranged.
We are living in the 21 century not the 17th century, Spiritual people have moved on from needless blood jobs. It's appalling that this government is doing nothing about it. Karma will come back and hit them where it hurts.
Do you really believe that there is Karma in this world? If there is Karma, then why are millions of children suffering? Why are millions of innocent animals suffering daily in meat farms, fur farms, circuses, in abusive homes? I feel that there is no justice in the world. If there was Karma then the Earth would have self destructed herself long back. On one hand there are criminals who keep on feeding on innocents for satisfying their cold blooded egos and on the other, there are millions of others who just keep on suffering.
The sea level rise will affect them first. It’s already happening.
Funny that people spend so much time on animals not near extinction. Americans and canadians are making the polar bears extinct because they want to Hunt for their skin. Its a endangered species. Yet no talk about it, most fanatics are concered with fishing healthy species.

@@sethgold2048 Ok gasúr,
They hunt whales to survive as they have very little agricultural land and only livestock are sheep and ponies which aren't sustainable. They eat fish and whale because they literally cannot depend on the island for food and unlike you they don't have a shop down the road to get food everyday
@@sethgold2048 No its not. Pollution is destroying ecosystems, illegal poaching and noise pollution. Sustainable hunting is not
So there are apparently 1,000,000 whales of this sort in the Northern Atlantic. Faroe Island scientists estimate less than 1% p/a swim into the Faroe Island's waters a year. They are then pushed towards the beach and killed quickly. It's an opportunist hunt and is very sustainable. The West just had it's own view on ethics and see the blood in the water as being barbaric. As usual, the West dictating how the rest of the world should live.
It's also not advised for many women to eat due to Mercury. That being said, it's not common to eat and usually frozen due to the infrequency of pods swimming to the islands.
*The Faroes : ISLANDS OF EVIL AND DARKNESS Here are 12 reasons why:*
1) Where they kill more whales and dolphins per capita in the world, than any other country, by far, for fun and sport.
2) The whale and dolphin meat is highly toxic, so it can not be eaten except in very small amounts. Large quantities are simply dumped back at sea.
3) Where child abuse is rife, as the islanders knowingly feed their children toxic whale meat.
4) Where they kill endangered species of whales and dolphins, and cynically make up laws to make it legal, yet go against international law on endangered species.
5) Where incest by family members is rife on the islands.
6) Where they strangle endangered Puffins and steal their eggs.
7) Where people knowingly and willingly consume meat heavily contaminated with mercury and don’t give a toss, primarily because they eat meat heavily contaminated with mercury.
8) Where a country with one of the highest per capita income in Europe claims they need to kill whales and dolphins in order to survive.
9) Where toxic whale meat is said to be free, except tourists can buy it in the restaurants and it’s for sale in the market.
10) Where population numbers change each day without any scientific validation. One day there are 128,000 pilot whales, the next 780,000. The fact is no one knows, except for the guy in Klaksvik with the crystal ball.
11) Where an hour of stressful pursuit and many minutes of agony accompanied by horrendous screams of pain is described as “humane killing.”
12) Where the Christian community says the whales are a gift from God, though Leviticus expressly forbids the eating of whale meat. Apparently Jesus made a side trip to the Faroes to give them special dispensation.
1) dont know a fisherman who hates all fishing activities
2) how much of the sheep do you eat? probably just the legs
3) "the health authorities in 1989 recommended the general population to consume only 150-200 g of whale meat per week and only 100-200 g blubber per month. Further, they recommended abstaining completely from eating liver and kidneys."
"A 1982 study revealed that a Faroese person would consume an average of 12 grams of pilot whale meat and 7 grams of whale blubber a day."
not a mathematician but...
4) pilot whales are nowhere near endangered
5) actually less inbreeding occurs in faroe island than in some continental european countries, its just that over time they became homogeneous
6) lying out your teeth again, puffins are not endangered, also cant get a single source on strangling
7) yes, mercury is a problem, by the solution is to not pollute the ocean, mercury isnt good for it either, it shouldnt be there
actually mercury levels have been decreasing already
8) they could survive without it, make money selling it to tourists and its a part of the culture, too bad polluting the sea led to high mercury levels, and im sure we both agree that we should clean the ocean
9) "said to be free" "the meat is not exported, but kept for themselves and distributed amongst the community as free food" when where tourists "amongst the community"?
10) "There are an estimated 1 million long-finned pilot whales and approximately 200,000 short-finned pilot whales worldwide." according to marinebio
11) this same tactic is used by anti abortionists, describing things as brutally as they can, they drive the whales in and then they kill the whales
12) isnt all life a gift from god?
also since its so "explicit" why is it not here? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_drink_prohibitions
youre good at copy pasting
Oh yeah do you split all your food to homeless?
Do you even eat everything on your plate even if its rotten?
Arent we saving the sea for eating the toxic animals?
Very cruel
Yeah,,,,you
But cutting an animals throat and letting them bleed out is better? Grow some self awarness please
y'all need to realize that there are over 800,000 pilot whales in the North Atlantic alone. they are not even close to being endangered. plus it's those people's way of getting food.
Likely there were tens of millions more before whales began to be hunted and ocean habitats began to be destroyed. These species are now under EXTREME pressure from loss of habitat, climate change, pollution and human activity of many kinds. There is no excuse for placing additional, unneeded pressure on these species. Period.
@suburben yobbo Almost any threatened species has some amount of loss which could be deemed "sustainable". In addition to hunting, marine mammal populations are under pressure from climate change, industrial activity, marine vessel collision and pollution. There is no way of gauging what the tipping point for this species population might because it's habitat is under such extreme pressure.
@suburben yobbo In a situation where an ecosystem is rapidly changing and may be on the verge of a type of collapse, yes, I would argue that....at least for animals high on the pyramid.

@@cct7558 cool!
To each their own, i suppose...until these beautiful creatures no more decorate our oceans🙏🏾 what then, Faroese islanders?
Pilot whales are not endangered
Pilot whales never been endangered
The islanders take out in average 800 pilot whales a year out of a population that is close to 800.000 nearby and more globally, which is less than 0.001 of a population that reproduces 2.5 to 3.5 % annual, meaning the islanders have absolute no impact on the total population number
What kills whales faster than anything is if the islanders have to give in and eat like the rest of the world, mass imported mass produced industrial food that kills biodiversity, clears land, pollutes and enslaves way more animals under horrible conditions. Local organic food from non endangered sources is better
It’s toxic, so… it’s poison

I have a few questions for this:
1) what does living; closer to, with, and in harmony to/with/of nature mean?
1b) does the aforementioned community rituals adhere to the above definitions without logical contradictions or 'special' pleading?
2) is there an alternative means of organizing and expressing the community (in comparison to the above) that involves less harm to both parties; and/or improves the lives of both or only one (without harm to the other)?
3) what would be lost if the aforementioned practices were; replaced, changed, made illegal, or simply stopped?
4) of those things that would be lost (3), can the aforementioned community live without these? Are they integral for the community to function?
5) does continued practice of the community rituals reduce some aspect of the world, such that the 'world' as a whole cannot experience that aspect or is lesser for it? This question seeks to determine if human intervention here is a significant factor that is causing a declining trend that otherwise would not occur without human intervention (human-affected climate change as an example). Is this declining aspect to be considered an acceptable loss?
you know, the answer of your question three is the answer of all the other questions.
to stop animal abuse/hunting brings benefits.

Mate you are formulating those tough questions to some brain dead barbar Vikings. They won't understand and they don't care. I remember I used to read back in news I 2006 about this and here we are. Still prevalent.
Okay, the excuse that many pigs and chickens die every day is stupid cause they are easy to raise and keep populations high on the other hand whales and dolphins require much more expensive care.
What you do not get is that there are still people who find it more justified to rely on local organic food from non endangered sources, as these islanders do, where nothing is killed for money, but shared equally among family and friends, compared to most of the rest of the world that enslaves animals and raises them in ways that is well documented to be driven my money and puts a huge negative strain on both animals and nature.
@@mackman6602 farming animals is far more efficient than simply going out to hunt. If everyone was to hunt native species with the amount of population we had so many dam species would go extinct. Farming is much more stable than killing without producing.
@@anxietyplague Not everyone lives in parts of this globe lives in areas where farming is something to consider. Luckily for many of these same people they though might live in areas as these islanders where they do not need farm animals since the pure ocean surrounding them has plenty of non endangered local organic food for them. In many cases that food is more healthy and puts less a strain on nature and its animals than the food we get from farmed animals - and it is pretty well documented that farming puts a huge negative strain on both animals and nature
@Anxiety Plague I will also admit that some of the species killed are listed as vulnerable as noted by the IUCN. The meat of the dolphins and whales is highly toxic with methyl mercury, and much of the meat is eventually dumped. They kill mainly for sport, fun and out dated tradition. These people need to hold their heads is shame.
@@mainman5172 Plus they drink baby blood and worship the devil. Do not forget that.
Send money to Sea Shepherd and we can continue to spread the real truth
I hope that Mother Nature punishes each and every one of them furiously for the barbaric murders they are doing. They are not just killing for survival, they are purposefully murdering these dolphins in a vengeful way because people are questioning their barbaric acts. It's just for the satisfaction of their ego. In this world how many innocents are suffering for no crime of theirs. But these murderers!!!!!! They should suffer, and I hope that day is not far and Mother Nature will give justice for all those innocent lives these barbarians took.
Primary psychopaths who are doing something like this. Primary psychopaths are incapable of emotions and are driven by sadism (they feel joy by inflicting pain and suffering). Unfortunately most humans don´t realize that these monsters are among us ( also intraspecies predators). They´re definitely not the same as us. Born evil.
@@isabellamusulo9190 Unfortunately this is true what you have written. And the thing that angers me most is that nothing can be done against them and there are millions of innocent victims who suffer because of them. And there is nothing that could bring justice to these victims. We say that there is Karma, what goes around comes around etc. But in practicality nothing happens. The criminals always get away from their crimes and the innocents keep on suffering.
We do what we have to
@@MK-yl1kl They are a hardy group of people
Totally unacceptable!! this is so wrong not necessary at all. close the island your all just barbaric.so sad and disgusting
not everyone, also i dont think faroese are barbaric.
This is a good point and hypocrisy I don't understand when people who eat meat like pigs and cows complain about whaling. Just because someone else does it for you and you can buy it neatly packaged in the store, doesn't mean you are not the culrprit supporting it. I'm a vegetarian because I care about the animals. I don't want to be a part of this slaughtering and lack of empathy for them
Stop killing Innocent Animals. Men have BRAINS which should be put in proper usage. Amen
That makes NO sense
What are then the animals guilty of since you gladly enslave and kill millions of then in your own country?
@Blue Heart if something wrong is happening it is not necessary to follow it. Amen
@@anandparmeswaran6681 What animals you kill in your country are not also innocent?
22o19%!22 don't act like a Child. Be mature stop comparing first. If a person is doing a wrong would you also do the same. I condemn what is happening in my country but that doesn't justify the inhuman acts happening in Faroe Island. Grow up bro 🙏
@@anandparmeswaran6681 You call others to grow up, yet you say some animals are innocent and others not?
The holier than thou, in wanting to shame these people discover that their own culture is poisoning the world in which these people seek to live and maintain a way of life. The holier than thou folks turn out to be greater murderers than the folk they claim are murderers.

To colonize every planet in the Milky Way and continue slaughtering every space animal there is excellent idea

It tastes so good!
Barbarians! No book holidays to this nightmare of place!
These people are sick.
Actually it’s called tradition, how dare you. You know nothing about the Grind.
@@memkem1725 yeah people have no respect!
They dont even know how the hook works! Idiots!
I understand it’s all about culture and food. But we are humans, we are intelligent. We should learn to adapt and adjust. We should know how we consumed affects our environment.
It is very simple. These islanders prefer local organic food from animals that actually had a good life, and share the gathered food freely and equally among locals.
What is it exactly these islanders need to learn? To enslave animals and kill them for money? How is that better?
@Macoi To be honest these people are a special kind of stupid. There is nothing "organic" about eating highly toxic whale meat, I say let them get sick and hopefully die. The islanders kill these animals in a horrendously cruel and slow method. THe good news the islanders privately admit the days of the Grind are numbered.
What's so disgusting is that they only eat small parts of the whales and dolphins as the meat is highly toxic with methyl mercury. The rest is eventually dumped.
Are you daft? You can eat basically the entire thing. The liver, heart, blubber, meat, fins and the tail.
@Blue Heart your mind has been poisoned they eat every bit of the whale even the skin! Where did you get your liberal fiction!?
Endangered animals and farmed animals arent in tthe same boat at all. Nobodys making sobstory films about chinese people hunting white rhinos
Facts and fiction is obviously in the same boat as your arguments.
Pilot whales are not endangered. They have never been endangered and their status is listed as being "most likely to remain so: source the International Whaling Commision, NAMMCO and UICN - all experts and scientists within this fiedl
If anything is to change their status it is the ignorant in the industrialized world who keep enslaving animals and killing every one of them for money and raising them in ways well documented to pollute and kill the oceans.
The people threatening the oceans and its animals is not these indigenous people but actually the ill informed people from the industrialized countries like you!!!
The pollution in the oceans come in large parts from the very farmed animals you seem to prefer!
Dont kill our only Ancestors we have left on this world!! Hello wtf. Go watch THE WHALE RIDER !! Based on a true story in Aotearoa. Paikea was a boy not a girl btw
Only watch if you wanna cry!

I considered that Northern Europe is very developped specially in terms of the rights, human rights, gender equality, animal welfaire, But your ISLAND taught me that I was wrong.
yes I can understand that because small minded, cut of, many involved
however I live uk I do not go on a fox hunt? are you being brainwashed? It is not normal for children to see this, some may not like whale meat.
the brighter ones will leave the island, travel, read and get educated and discover not all islands do this
Heidi_toto so the world I just black and white? I guess all Muslims bad bcus of their religious laws and all Americans good bcus ww2 and world police?
This made me sad... I respect every single culture as I hope them to respect mine (Portuguese). There’s no need to do this in these times. There are alternatives.
In Portugal we found alternatives.
These people are respectful people who live in better balance with nature and its resources than most people on this planet.
They do not enslave animals as most of the rest of us in the world do. They do not kill animals for money, but share the meat they gather equally and freely among family and neighbors.
They prefer local organic food and they prefer all animals, including the few they eat, all lived a good life
They happen to slaughter their animals out in the open, turning the sea read for a few minutes and that looks brutal to many ill informed city people, but if they knew the origin of their own mean products they would know it is no way more brutal or less justified than our very own industrialized food.
If you want a world where people treat nature better, only take what nature can withstand to share, not kill for money, but only take what you need and share what you got, than we could learn a lot from nature people like these islanders. They are not perfect, but they for sure have fewer flawas than most of the rest of the world.
They are just often misrepresented by the world media and too often demonized by the ill informed
@@blueheart8786 dear Blue Heart
Portugal has the continental area and two archipelagos. One is called Açores (Azores) with very very remote islands smaller than Faroe. It was a common practice to kill whales. They had very very small boats, mostly made of wood, and old and fragile equipments to catch the whales, brave men had no choice but to do it to survive, they were called baleeiros.
People from Azores are very unique, with a very rich culture, mostly in literature.
After many years, they stopped the whale catching, they found alternatives, organic food, farming developments, tourism. Well, they don’t have the oil that Faroe has.
Well, it’s not by a mere ill city person, it’s just by a person who is from a place who found alternatives, that adapted to the new era.
Times change, some things became brutal, not only this but many other that were common.
Ill may be someone who was stuck in time and a survived is someone who adapted to it.
@@alexandradecastro5142 First of, the Faroese do not live in a sub-tropical place where you easily can get a lot of things to grow.
The Faroe Islanders live on what is basically basalt rock islands with very thing soil, and little to nothing can grow on the islands. Luckily for them their surrounding ocean has plenty of non endangered resources to nourish the Faroese population.
You said "they got oil"? What oil?
The islanders have no oil, but have to import it.
The Faroese see no need to change. They see the world how needs to change. The source of food the islanders prefer is more more ecofriendly than the food most of the world eats. Forcing them to give up their local organic food only would force them to rely even more on imported food and we all know that is not economical, sustainable or more justified way of food
The world could learn a lot from nature people like these that do not enslave animals and prefer not to kill animals for money, but gladly share their food freely and equally among family and neighboors. They only take what is proven to withstand to share with them, and leave the rest alone
For to long ill informed city people have tried to demonize these islanders, which is stupid given how their own way of life is hurting this globe billion times more and how their very own food is way way more cruel and absolutely not more justified!
@@blueheart8786 in this century, there’s no justification to kill animals, lives with soul. No matter how you try to find justifications, there isn’t one. And please, go search more about Azores because it’s certain that you don’t know anything about it.
If Faroe adapted to times to have a Michelin star restaurant, why not a more sustainable practice ?
@@blueheart8786 and no, in Açores it’s not easy to make things grow like in Madeira (also Portuguese archipelago)
I’m from the Faroe Islands and this is very normal to me
Yeah, preferring meat from animals that actually had a good life is strange to us. Enslaving animals in torturing tiny cages and mass murder all of them for money is the normal way of getting food.
@@mememe1649 this is the american way
Psychopath
@@라이니-w1e dont you also kill chickens, cows, FISH, sheep, and anything that can be eaten? It’s a tradition for us to kill pilot whales
We get it... but for common individual's viewing this from a slight distance... the behavior may t frightening and or bizarre....?
Go to a ranch or slaughterhouse in the US.
As a Christian, I was taught God created animals for mankind to have dominion and God loves us so much he told us we can eat meat to survive, and also he told us not to judge others on what they eat. If its for food i am not judging. What hypocrisy is this if you eat meat and judge these people.
If you are a Christian, then you will know that Levitics expressly forbids the eating of any whale meat. Perhaps you are one of those Christians who cherry pick to suit their own twisted narrative?
@delicious haha finally a man of culture i see ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@mack-mann Bible also teaches us to beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing.. you choose whales fine.. but i get along with people better.
@@uselessaf4058 Are you too lazy to look for yourself asshat? Not that I believe any the nonsense, supersition, contradctions and witchcraft written in the Bible.
God was created by humans in their own image so they can justify their disgusting acts as some sort of message from this higher power than they have control over. Humans can’t deal with their own guilt so why not create a magical man in the sky who can take it on for them if they step into a box and ‘confess’... can’t cope anymore fml religion is no excuse for cruelty as cruelty is a reality

Let them suffer!! … the islanders that is!
People need to drastically reduce their red meat consumption. Sadly oceans are being overfished and their meat is containing higher mercury and lead levels. The answer is in poultry farming as it is the most sustainable of all. Eat more chicken, it tastes great!

@@Couscouscouscous Well spotted. There are a lot of incels making nasty comments on these videos...well I suppose if you are already repulsive to women, why not go for broke.
What do the locals build their homes with?
How do they heat (or cool) them?
Wind turbines, solar panels.
Looks like a great place to live.
A traditional house in the Faroe Islands uses rocks or concrete to made the foundation of the house, and often the upper level is made of wood, as it isolates better per centimeter than concrete and creates better in-side climate. Though more and more houses use more concrete than before, as the number of storms in the North Atlantic require stronger and stronger houses. While most houses have modern roofing, still many use grass turf as roofing, as it keeps the warm inside the house and is heavy which helps stabilize the house during storms. More and more houses use therminal heating from water being pumped hundreds and hundreds of meters down into the rocky island and earths inner heatness warms the water that then warms the housing. To drill the wholes is expensive, but then you pay a fraction of a precentage to pump the water down/up compared to the oil other houses use for heating. The electriticy comes mainly from windmills. At times 100% of the electricity on the islands comes from hydroplants or windmills. During the summer months when their is less rain and less wind they still rely on oil to make electriticy, but the goal is to become 100% independant of oil to create electricity by 2030. 3/4 of the year they have already reached that goal - the rest 1/4 requires more windmills, which are planned for the next 2-3 years.
You can tell a lot about a country by the way they treat their animals.

@@demondelaplace5161 what the fokk are you saying man😂
Interesting that every time the discussion about the Faroese annual whale hunt starts, the "defenders" of this hunt start to whine about hypocrisy and making comparisons with the beef industry. Probably all of the opponents of the grindagrap are equally opposed to bio-industrial ways of raising cattle and pork for beef, meat and milk consumption. The local Faroe health officer has a long-term research program running and educates the locals on reduced consumption of methyl mercury-poisoned whale meat. The recommended consumption is max. 100 gram per week for adults. Children and pregnant women are advised to refrain from eating whale blubber and meat. There is really no need for the hunt. With one of the highest capita in Europe, the standard of living is very high on the Faroe. In times of globalisation and everyone looking for an identity, its this old - and historically necessary - tradition that unifies a certain group of Faroese, bonding, and with a feeling of togetherness they try to preserve old traditions and values...but please, not at the expenses of whales and dolphins: these times are long gone!
That's like saying Americans shouldn't be able to eat bacon for breakfast because pigs are intelligent, and feel pain. Favouring different species doesn't prove an argument.
@@ZFilms11 And using types of meat that the faroes consume also isn't an argument. These people have access to everything. They have beef, pork, lamb and fish. They have supermarkets. This bs is done because they enjoy slaughtering whales. It's like a sick sport.
@@Stopthegreed Excuse me, where do you think this meat from the supermarket comes from? We don't have locally sourced pork, beef, and barely have enough fish for ourselves as it's exported. I live here, yknow? No to mention lamb it very day isn't a very sustainable diet. If you want to say it's a sport, go ahead, but I think people enjoy eating food more. Ask your own country.
@@ZFilms11 most countries import meat. Even if they produce meat themselves. You lot aren't exactly third world.
@@Stopthegreed Never claimed to be. But you're right if that's what you're after
But they are SO smart. Whales are so intelligent.
Most animals are smart
The pigs are even more intelligent than any pilot whale. We are all very well aware of those facts, but that has not stopped humans around the world to enslave, kill and eat pigs!
Whales are smart and humans have no reason to kill them. The Faroe islanders certainly don't have any reason to kill these mammals, as they kill for fun, sport and out dated tradition. In addition they eventually dump most of the meat as it is toxic.
The Sea Shepherd TROLL who creates FAKE PROFILES in other people names just to harras, wrote this, not me:
"Whales are smart and humans have no reason to kill them. The Faroe islanders certainly don't have any reason to kill these mammals, as they kill for fun, sport and out dated tradition. In addition they eventually dump most of the meat as it is toxic."

Sea Shepherd is SO pathethic

"Why would you need to kill a whale 🐳?"😂 To the people who eat whale 🐳 for living
And now they are paying for it now.... Diseases
Whale meat is actually super toxic and polluted. Also, two years ago 1428 pilot whales were slaughtered at the grind. Who can eat this much whale meat? For days they dumped dead whales back into the ocean. They have different food sources. Today no one has to kill a whale to get food on the table!
That is one of the aspect of consanguinity
demons
The usual hypocrisy from the elites.
That's just how these folks live. There's not much out there really. Seems natural for the locals to eat the whales.
It's totally unnecessary and only happens because of traditional reasons. They have sheep's, cows, fish farms and more. There is no factual need to massacre thousands of super smart whales every year
