World Wide Protest

The worst part about not being on campaign is being here. Watching my friends get attacked, beaten, held down by multiple police officers, as they point them towards the massacre and force them to watch. Knowing that entire pods of whales are dying and although we are over there, fighting for the; we don't always succeed.

When you are over there, at least you feel like you are helping. Everyday that you return to base and a pod wasn't driven onto the beach is a day you can celebrate. I was lucky, we always had a reason to celebrate. But organizing this protest was the best thing i could do from a distance. After the double grind massacre we all united. I contacted leaders from all over the world, London, Germany, Luxembourg, Costa Rica, Mexico, Columbia, Australia. Together we decided that we would stand up against the injustice and make sure that the world knew what was happening in the Faroe Islands. I know it seems silly, standing on a street corner yelling phrases. But having everyone thank you me for my service overseas, for my dedication, and passion was the most amazing feeling. I have spent 5 years of my life fighting for these causes. I can't imagine doing anything else for the rest of my life. 

A second grind takes place today

Faroese Update 2315 Hours (Faroese Time)

Between 50 and 75 Pilot whales have been driven onto the beach near Torshaven, the capital of the Faroe Islands. The whales were driven onto the beach by about 40 boats. They are being viciously slaughtered as I post this update.

Sea Shepherd has about a dozen people on sight. The BRIGITTE BARDOT is three hours away on the other side of the islands. The SAM SIMON was forced to go to the Shetlands yesterday to get supplies, most importantly fuel for the small boats that they could not get in the Faroes.

Thanks to the Danish Navy the Faroese are able to kill whales with impunity this year. The blood of these whales dying today in on the head of the Danish people.

Sea Shepherd Leader arrested as killing begins

The whales are being killed now. The whales are dying on the beach at Borg, it is a horrific sight.

Sea Shepherd Team Leader Rosie Kunneke of South Africa and Christophe Bondue of France have been arrested for on the beach by Faroese police. Two other Sea Shepherd crew have been arrested at sea by the Danish Navy.
They were tackled and beaten to the ground before being hauled off by the Faroese police

The latest report from the beach describes men shouting obscenities at Sea Shepherd as they slash, stab and spear these wonderful animals. The sea is running red with blood

It is horrific,sickly horrific and it is frustrating that the full might of the Danish Navy is defending these psychotic butchers.

Large pod being driven towards Bour

The large pod is still fighting but more and more boats have arrived. T

The Danish Navy ship RASMUSSEN has blocked the BRIGITTE BARDOT. The pod appears to be between 100 and 200 Pilot Whales. Numerous people are gathering on the beach near Bour ready to spill hot blood into the sea.

The whales have little chance to avoid death at the hands of these killers who are armed with such traditional advantages as motorized boats, cellphones, sonar, radar and radios and of course with the traditional Naval warships standing guard in defense of the serial killers of the Ferocious Isles.

Another proud day for Denmark and the Danish Navy as the barbarian hordes prepare once again to display their vile viciousness to the world.

Start of the Season turns Bloody

Last summer I stood watch at this killing beach almost everyday, if I wasn't there one of my teammates were. Perched on a cliff, watching, waiting. The boat team was always nearby, and we were prepared to stop this. This slaughter from these bastards. Today we weren't there, and a large pod of 150 plus whales are now dead, murdered and tortured for their meat. Meat that many locals throw out because they have been warned it's too toxic to eat. Meat that isn't necessary when they're lands are filled with grocery stores. These people don't kill for tradition, don't kill for food, they kill for pleasure. They are basically barbarians holding large knifes just waiting for an animal to harm. 

They kill puffins, seagulls, so why would pilot whales be any different. They view them as having no feelings, and believe them to be killed quickly by severing their spinal cord. But these whales feel pain, they scream out as they are being murdered. These pods aren't just their families it's entire generations of mother, daughters, and grandfathers. The Faroese are killing the existence of these whales, and the environment will not recover.

When I think of what is happening, I get so angry there are no words. I just wish I was there standing watch so I could've helped those poor whales. They had no idea what was coming, and now the water runs red, and the people of the Faroes will celebrate yet another murder. Drinking and driving and doing what they're best at, being obnoxious fisherman. Tomorrow when the sun rises they'll continue looking for more pods, because greed is a foreign concept to them. But not as foreign as their inability to care for animals or for the environment. 

If this is not stopped, the pilot whales will someday not exist. Not because of pollution, although it does play a small factor, but because of this country who continues to slaughter it's way through pods for nothing but pure pleasure to feed their barbaric needs. I'm glad Sea Shepherd is returning because it is the only hope these whales have for survival. 

June 6 2015

Once again, another cruel summer opens to the horror show of evil that the Faroese call The grindadráp which translated means “the murder of whales.”

This year the Faroese not only have the Faroese Coast Guard and the Danish Navy to defend these brutal and pitiless killers, the whalers also have the services of the Faroese Coast Guard to find the pods of whales so they can be slain.

This is the lunacy of our times. Military assets being used to help kill innocent whales in order to secure whale meat that is inedible because of the toxic levels of mercury in the bodies of the whales.They kill to feed poison to their children. These thugs certainly do look like they have severe cranial degeneration, the kind caused when mercury literally eats away the tissues in the brain.

It is amazing that in the year 2015 with the diminishment of biodiversity, and with species after species going extinct, that there are still people so alienated from reality that they continue to engage in contributing to the death of the Ocean.We humans are literally killing the ocean by diminishment of the life within. Many Faroese overfish, they slaughter puffins and other sea-birds and they murder whales and dolphins. These are the kind of people that future generations in a world devoid of so many species, will look back upon with utter disgust.

The Faroese enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world with the highest income per capita in all of Europe. Their supermarkets are well stocked with anything that can be bought in Copenhagen, London or Paris. They all drive cars, own computers and enjoy the luxuries of modern industrialized society yet many claim they need to kill pilot whales and dolphins for meat.

The truth is that some of them simply like to kill. They enjoy it. They need to see the blood spurting into the water. They need to smell and wallow in the blood and the shit of the dying animals. They need to hear their pitiful screams because these are the needs of sadistic psychopaths. Not all Faroese are cruel and not all participate in this foul obscenity. Both for those who do and for the politicians that support these despicable act of slaughter, the evidence is that there is a rotten stench of death associated with these islands that will be angrily remembered when the pilot whales and the dolphins are no more.

Anti-whaling activists Sea Shepherd will be sending ships to Iceland, Norway and the Faroe Islands in the weeks to come, as minke whaling prepares to begin.

The organisation has already declared victory over Japan in the southern hemisphere, RÚV reports, and will now be turning their attention to the North Atlantic.

Adam Meyerson, captain of the Sea Shepherd ship Bob Barker (shown above), says it has not yet been decided how many ships will be sent into the region, nor what kind of actions they will be taking, as this is decided on a case-by-case basis. In the southern hemisphere, Sea Shepherd emphasised direct interference with whaling vessels as their primary method.

The announcement comes as the hunting of minke whales is set to begin. A whaling captain MBL spoke to said he expects to begin his hunt this weekend or early next week. More whaling vessels can be expected to follow suit over the coming weeks.
