Grisly pics show mass whale slaughter in Faroe Islands hunts



The ā€˜spinal lanceā€™ used to kill the whales was designed by a Faroese veterinarian and ensures that the mammals lose consciousness and die within a few seconds, a spokesman for the Faroe Islands government told Fox News earlier this year. An entire pod of whales is typically killed in less than fifteen minutes, he said.





They kill whole pods? Why?
 
Witnessing a grind first hand was truly an eye-opening experience,ā€ explained the volunteer, in a statement provided to Fox News. ā€œAs the pilot whales were driven to the shoreline by the small boats the intensity of the thrashing bodies grew. Hooks were sunk into the blowholes and the whales were dragged onto the shore in a sadistic game of ā€˜Tug of War.ā€™ We witnessed whales seemingly bashing their heads against the stones in a frenzy.ā€

No.
 
Your own link tells why. :)



How can it be sustainable if you are killing off the whole pod? Gene pool? Also take into account that the Japanese still kill whales. Is it sustainable?
 
Life feeds off death, rather grisly baseness of barbaric activity for such an intelligent creature with a creator...

Pilot Whales are not endangered.
Yet!
As long as a relatively small and isolated group of people "harvest" the whales, it should not be a problem. Thank about the Indians killing buffalo. It was only when the white man started killing for sport that they got wiped out.

They have done so for 1000 years and they are still here.
Management and control seems to be working.

That wasn't sport, it was an attempt to starve the native Americans.

That's a new one on me.
 
Canadians have bludgeoned baby seals to death for years! Walked right up and knocked their brains out. For fur. Pretty white fur.
 
I am a meat eater.....it's good to be at the top of the food chain.
