End Whale & Dolphin Slaughter in the Faroe Islands! The Faroese celebrate the massacre of their victims in a carnival ambience of amusement. According to Faroese legislation it is also legal to kill certain species of small cetaceans other than whales.
These include: Bottlenose dolphin; Atlantic white-beaked dolphin; Atlantic white-sided dolphin; and Harbour porpoise (There are also precise regulations for the hunting of harbour porpoise. They really must stop this even if it is a ritual.

"Animals Do Not Have A Voice Of Their Own. If We Do Not Stand Up And Speak For Them... Who Will?!"

It sickens me to know that so called human beings could be so cruel and heartless as to cause pain to another living, breathing and feeling creature of God!!!

Please contact the Faroe Islands department of Tourism: http://www.faroeislands.com/Default.aspx?pageid=9717 According to the tourism video, the Faroe Islanders live on sheep, fowl and fish (not whales and dolphin) and have easy access by sea and air to the mainland of Denmark. This practice should be stopped.

This is appalling, and must stop. There is no justification for such reckless slaughter and disregard for natural balance.

This barbarous practice serves no purpose and must cease immediately...it has nothing to do with survival and everything to do with cruelty. Please stop this carnage and respect the living species that share our fragile planet with us.

I understand that rituals are important to each unique culture but this is a barbaric custom that needs to be ended. Please consider the wider implcations - we have exterminated so many precious species already, please don't make it more!

It is an atrocity, mass killing of another living thing always is and in this case there is so much good someone could do by way of ritual, it seems to me a terrible energy to be ritualistically initiated into adulthood.

I feel horrified that things like this go on still - we are sentient beings with choices and the ability to change... How can we allow this to continue. Please please stop this.
