[en] Whale killing in the Faroe Islands

Today a herd of Pilot whales where killed in Tórshavn on the Faroe Islands. There is a article about this here. Also you can enjoy the beautiful images from the killings here in these two galleries: Gallery 1 and Gallery 2.

Long live the Pilot whale killings!

Having received criticism for this article I have deceived to add some more informative text on the killing from wikiedia.org - Whaling in the Faroe Islands.

From wikipedia.org:

Whaling in the Faroe Islands has been practised since at least the tenth century.^[1] It is regulated by Faroese authorities and approved by the International Whaling Commission. Around 950 Long-finned Pilot Whales (Globicephala melaena) are killed annually, mainly during the summer. Occasionally, other species are hunted as well, such as the Northern Bottlenose Whale and Atlantic White-sided Dolphin. The hunts, called "grindadráp" in Faroese, are non-commercial and are organised on a community level; anyone can participate. The hunters first surround the pilot whales with a wide semi-circle of boats. The boats then drive the pilot whales slowly into a bay or to the bottom of a fjord.

Most Faroese consider the hunt an important part of their culture and history. However, animal rights groups criticize the hunt as being cruel and unnecessary.^{[2] [3]} The hunters claim in return that most journalists do not exhibit sufficient knowledge of the catch methods or its economic significance.^[4]

Good whaling... Jari
