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.

Once again, another cruel summer opens to the horror show of evil that the Faroese call The grindadrĂ¡p 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.
