Very sick and disturbing indeed.
In the 21st century this should not be happening, mankind has raped the Earth enough already, we should be trying to help her heal rather than her most beautiful of children.
Butchering these beautiful animals only allows negativity to spill out into the oceans of the planet: such savagery has no place in a beautiful world.
Bastards.

I remember this was debated last year.
The main justification was that the 'culling' was for traditional food and cultural purposes.
Problem with that excuse is that there is a warning from the authorities that the 'food' [pilot whale] is actually toxic and should not be eaten.
Chief medical officers of the Faroe Islands have recommended that pilot whales no longer be
considered fit for human consumption, because they are toxic - as revealed by research on
the Faroes themselves.
[...]
... in a statement to the islanders, chief medical officers Pál Weihe and Hřgni Debes Joensen
announced that pilot whale meat and blubber contains too much mercury, PCBs and DDT
derivatives to be safe for human consumption.

During the cut of a pilot whale's spine, their main arteries also get cut. Because of this the surrounding sea tends to turn a bloody red.
doesn't sound too much different to halal
Most part of traditional Faroese food consists of meat. Because of the harsh Faroese climate, grain and vegetables have not been able to grow very well.[citation needed] During the winter months the Faroe Islanders´ only option was to mostly eat salted or dried food (this includes meat, pilot whale meat, seabirds and fish). This means that over the centuries, the pilot whale has been an important source of food and vitamins to the isolated population on the North Atlantic archipelago.
i assume the faroese aren't much interested in the pissing and moaning of a few lefties when it comes to survival. must be the viking blood that flows within.

Mine's Canada. I've already made plans to go there. Northern Manitoba or something along those lines. I know it's close to America, but it's so vast and wild.
I love how people say it's tradition so it's okay.
There is a lot to be said about groupthink. If these towns are raised to consider this 'normal' they will not have a problem doing it.
Outsiders see it like it is, needless cruelty. These poor whales. We are the scum of the earth, some of us humans. We are worse than any animal out there, by far.
