The Islands and The Whales (whale hunting)

Yes, folks in the Faroe Islands have been doing this for years. They do consume the meat but I'm not sure the killing method is the most humane. Those whales don't die right away. They are not poor people. You should be looking at the Japanese and their killing of dolphins and whales. That is a much worst scenario.

Its they way they have been hunting for 1000 years
 
Good to see some white folks still very much a part of nature.

And here I thought the only savages left were us brown folk.

How they live is beautiful to me. Watch that video I linked. All this man needs is on those islands and the nearby sea. They live with nature not against it.
 
Full-belly hubris on the part of first world animal activists.

I firmly believe that the hunting and fishing traditions of indigenous people's should be respected.
agreed. vegans have this tendency to protest seal hunting in Canada, or to harass indigenous restaurant owners for serving seal while apparently ignoring all the burger tents.

So?
1000 years ago butchers did not use captive bolts or electrical stun guns, but we do now because it is a far more humane method of killing than traditional forms of slaughter.

Why shouldn't we use technology for a more humane method of killing?
 
Pilot whale meat is full of mercury and other contaminants.

Wtf @ these morons poisoning their children. It's 2017, they can import whatever food they want. We don't live in the world of a 1000 years ago, the oceans are polluted to all heck.

In 2008, Faroe Islands Chief Medical Officer Høgni Debes Joensen and Pál Weihe of the Department of Public and Occupational Health recommended that pilot whales no longer be considered fit for human consumption due to the presence of DDT derivatives, PCBs and mercury in the meat.[34] Their recommendation was based on research suggesting a correlation between mercury intake and the high rate of Parkinson's disease on the islands.[35][36] As of 1 June 2011, the Faroese Food and Veterinary Authority has advised Faroe Islanders not to eat the kidney or liver of pilot whales, not to consume more than one serving per month, and, for women and girls, to refrain from eating blubber if they plan to have children and to refrain from whale meat entirely if they are breastfeeding, pregnant or planning to conceive in the following three months

Animals store persistent organic pollutants in their fat tissue. The whale fat tissue is so toxic they're literally saying to not eat it if you want children one day. These people are retarded if they eat this shit.

If you watched the video you would know that this is something that is a big issue for them. Doctors tell them only to eat it twice a month and none at all if they are pregnant.

Of course they reall question is are all these whales retards then basically down syndrom whales
 
not a fan of killing animals then
I respect all life.
But there is a difference between a chicken and a monkey. A cow and a whale.
I'm guessing you're one of those people that is going to tell me that animals are animals.

As a somewhat practical matter the islanders simply don't have modern whaling tech because they are not professional whalers. It is a island wide event where all the islanders take time off their normal jobs and hunt the way they do. So they likely don't have it.
More to the point, this is a traditional hunt to bring the community together and test the men. It is not a commercial enterprise.

You might as tell a Masai warrior to use a gun when hunting a lion.

Nonetheless It is a barbaric ritual. We don't allow ritualized animal sacrifices anymore, and European societies are looking at banning Halal/Kosher slaugher. So should it be ok for Muslims and Jews to perpetuate animal suffering because of tradition?

In their own country yes. It is only when they try to force their culture on us that I have a problem.

Well the prolem here is that Jews and Muslims who are citizens of Western countries will both claim they are in their own countries. I am not talking about banning Halal and Kosher slaughter in Muslim majority countries and Israel, I am talking about banning it in the West.
 
Paul McCarthy, that daft cunt (huge Beatles fan here) came to Thunder Bay years ago to stop the seal hunt. I wonder why people feel the need to meddle in traditional and sustainable ways of life.
What is your opinion on hunting seal pups/juvenile

well we have the rule of law if they can get the bill passed then good if not then oh well

that is my whole point with islam. If the muslims become the majority we have to switch to national socialism.

You answered your own question.

Moral arrogance. I think future generations will look at it as a characteristic failing of our time.
 
Greenpeace are also hypocrites.
They are against the Faroe Islands

but are okay with Inuits hunting whales
http://nationalpost.com/news/canada...ts-inuit-hunting-but-native-groups-still-wary


Either way it is a big group of elitest picking on a small indigenous people.


Notice that they don't do this to anyone in Russia. Why Russia knows how to deal with these people. They get lenghty prison sentences in harsh jails like they should.
Green peace are dumbass but its harder for them to go to north pole at -45 to teach Inuits what to hunt lol

i just don't see why chickens are considered stupid and a monkey smart. i think all animals are smart

I grew up on a farm.
Chickens are not smart.
As I said, that doesn't mean I don't respect their life. But I have far less of a problem eating something that has a more limited intelligence.
And I hope you are not serious about not seeing the difference between a chicken and monkey.
There are definitely levels of intelligence among animals.

I live in Korea. They eat dog here. I don't like it, and would never eat it, but I don't lecture people about it either. But if you're going to tell me a dog and a chicken are the same, then you havent been around either animal.
