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.
