Risso's Dolphin

Stop the Slaughter of Risso's Dolphins in Feroe Island

Target:
Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh RASMUSSEN
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.

Yesterday I received a series of pictures of Calderon Dolphins being slaughter. Which is correct Calderon or Risso? Which ever it is I can't believe it. Denmark had the cheek to condemn RSA for aprtheid - this is just the same.

This makes me sick to my stomach. How can anyone allow this !!!!! Maybe the men should hack each other to show their strongness.

Mankind is a beast! I wonder what we are going to destroy next if there is nothing left over... maybe then we finally commit collective suicide?

I guess the "civilized" human beings are the most stupid ones on the whole planet. What other species would destroy natures balance for the reason of pride? It will all come back to us. Mother earth will try to get rid of us parasites someday. It already started...

Dear Prime Minister Lars Lokke RASMUSSEN I live on a small island, Alderney,in the English Channel and like most Islanders have a great respect for the sea and the creatures that live in it alongside mankind. I also have a respect for the Danish people and their country, I am however deeply shocked by the totaly pointless and horrific cruelty carried out against the Risso's Dolphins by the people of the Feroe Island. I Hope you will use your influence and halt this needless cruelty. Regards Derrick Williams
