I don't know if anybody really cares about this issue, but here goes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whaling_in_the_Faroe_IslandsPersonally, I am conflicted regarding grindadráp. On the one hand, I deeply respect faroese culture and considering the small amount of pilot whales killed during the grindadráp, I consider it not as particulary brutal. On the other hand, It is true that pilot whales are very social animals and can be traumatized by these killings, but with the faroese constantly improving their methods of kiling, I hope that it with time will become less painfull for the whales. What do you think? |

We cannot legislate morality by passing laws controlling firearms. The only evil we can combat lies within our hearts. We need stronger laws to protect the moral foundation of society against the evil of gay marriage. |

I think that one thing that maybe could be done is to allow only the males to be killed. In that way the faroese can get their whale meat without killing the females and their offspring. |
