Every year, in Denmark, specifically the Faroe Islands, innocent and helpless Calderon Dolphins are slaughtered brutally by the danes. Why you may ask, simply because. A pointless and stupid right of passage to manhood.

ReplyDeletePLEASE! If you want to gain international support to stop this horror (and I certainly agree that it MUST end!), then you have to get your facts right!! You - and many others - are just repeating the same factual mistakes, and this undermines your good intentions!
ReplyDeleteRead my blog [ http://yardyyardyyardy.blogspot.com/2009/11/gotta-get-it-right.html ] in which I've corrected many of the errors being circulated.
It might help you focus more.
Good luck!

I received the following from the Danish Embassy, it may be of interest, and has a direct email address for the Faroese department of Fisheries and Maritime Affairs:
ReplyDeleteThe Danish Embassy has received your mail in which you express your feelings caused by some pictures circulating on the internet depicting selected scenes from the catching of Pilot whales in the Faroe Islands.
We take note of the fact that you find these pictures disturbing.
The Faroe Islands have autonomy within the Kingdom of Denmark. The Islands are not included in the Danish membership of the European Union. Affairs regarding industry, agriculture, veterinary matters, the environment, fishing and whaling, are subject to Faroese autonomy.
Should you be interested in acquiring some factual knowledge about whaling in the Faroe Islands and perhaps supplement a possibly negative aesthetic first hand impression on the subject or before possibly addressing the relevant authorities, we suggest that you turn to the Faroese authorities’ homepage on whaling: www.whaling.fo.
If you would like to address the Faroese authorities regarding pilot whaling the e-mail address of the Foreign Department of the Faroese Government is mfa@mfa.fo. The e-mail address of the Faroese department of Fisheries and Maritime Affairs is fisk@fisk.fo.
Yours sincerely,
The Royal Danish Embassy London
