SAVE THE WHALES

SAVE THE WHALES - STOP KILLING THEM!!!!!!!!!

Whales are sensitive, social animals with highly developed nervous systems. They have a profound capacity to suffer distress, terror and pain.

Each year, the Faroese kill over 1500 whales. Families of whales - including pregnant mothers(LIFE OF TWO), lactating females, youngsters - are butchered by the islanders. The whales Suffers, screaming in pain and die slowly. And those islanders who kill the whales are often drunk or high. Because they are celebrating. It’s their time to prove heros.

Islanders will use motorboats to drive the whales into a bay. Terrified and confused whales are eventually driven into the shallows. Here the bloodbath begins, or you can name it the “RED SEA”.

The islanders repeatedly hammer 2.2 kg metal gaffs into the living flesh of each whale until the hooks hold. A 15 cm knife is then used to slash through the blubber and flesh to the spinal column. Next the main blood vessels are severed. The blood-stained bay is soon filled with horribly mutilated and dying whales. So CRUEL!!!

The Faroese celebrate the butchery of their victims in an carnival atmosphere of entertainment. Indoctinated from an early age, children are often given a day off school to watch the fun. They run down to the bay and clamber over the carcasses of slaughtered whales.
