In March 09 it was reported that the people of the Feroe Island in Denmark were caught slaughtering many Risso's Dolphins in celebration of their toughness. Risso's Dolphins are of friendly nature, and trust only humans, therefore when they get close to shore, they are caught in nets and slughtered. Tell Anders Fogh Rasmussen to say no to this, and stop these rapid and heartless killings at once.

We all know this is that irlanders tradition..maybe from times when they were starving.
But now it is any need to do this when Denmark people stomachs are full.
Strange why danisch governement does not see any problem.Where are the members from their organisations protecting their wild life?

I think this is the height of cruelty. What are the world animal health organisations sitting with their hands over hands and doing....just warming chairs, just satisfied and relaxed with the job they have or are they actively doing something about this. I hate to say all this but it really hurts me to say that it should have been those people killing those dolphins that should have been brutally murdered like that instead of the dolphins.
Just imagine yourself being murdered in such a manner when you think someone friendly is around just to play or maybe have a good time with you.
This is crazy and I don't understand why all ANIMAL ORGANISATIONS ARE QUIET. I pay donation to one and don't think they even keep a trace on such things.
I'm really ashamed on those pathetic humans in Denmark.

Please stop the senseless cruel killings on these beautiful Dolphins. They are God's beautiful creatures and to have Denmark show their so called, "Celebration of Toughness" by doing such a heinous act is not being tough but a showing a sign of being sick instead.

Dear Prime Minister, Denmark.
I am very sad to look at the pictures of Dolphin Slaughtery in your country, the least corruption society and one of the best civilization in the world. You have got the historic opportunity to prevent wildlife destruction. I urge to take action.

Its a disgrace to know that Dolphins are being killed for personal pleasure and show of might by the young teens there...its a real SHAME to know that humans there need to kill innocent harmless dolphins to prove their superiority.

There is no word to describe this cruelty. More over it’s an act of cowardice. This is true SHAME for a country. I had the impression that Denmark is a civilized country. Please STOP this with immediate effect.
Why don't these 'civilized people' go and ran across some jungle occupied with carnivorous animals to prove their worth. If they come out of the jungle alive, then declare them as brave.

Like all macho bullies and the extent of their actions, I find this one of the most repulsive, disgusting, inhumane and devastating acts of cruelty that I have ever had the misfortune of seeing. It must be outlawed, and there should be International Laws protecting these actions. It is a blood sport with no purpose but to satisfy sadists.Under no conditions should anything like this ever be perpetrated on innocent animals. I feel sick to the pit of my being. I am not vegetarian, but this stinks to high heaven. Ugly, ugly men, may they all rot in hell and have the same punishment be exercised on them. I curse them all from the bottom of my heart.

Sometimes tradition has to be discarded when simple reasoning and logic prove it to be more harmful than useful. Tradition has its place, but not at this cost. They can prove their toughness to each other.

This is so shocking, I am still shaking. I am half Danish and now thoroughly ashamed of this fact. What is the Danish Prime Minister THINKING of? I thought Denmark was supposed to be one of the most civilised countries in the world. How wrong can you be? Her Rasmussen if you have an ounce of decency in you, you will STOP this TODAY.
