PLEASE PRAY FOR THEM AND TO AN END OF SUCH FUTURE CRUELTY IN THE
WORLD
The sea is stained in red and it is not because of the climate
effects of
nature. It's because of the cruelty of the human beings (civilised
human)
who kill hundreds of the famous and intelligent Calderon
dolphins.
This happens every year in Feroe Island in Denmark . In this
slaughter the
main participants are young teens.
WHY?
A celebration, to show that they are adults and mature!
In this big celebration, nothing is missing for the fun.
Everyone is
participating in one way or the other, killing or looking at the
cruelty
supporting like a spectator
Is it necessary to mention that the dolphin Calderon, like all the
other
species of dolphins, it's near extinction and they get near men to
play and
interact.
In a way of PURE friendship
They don't die instantly; they are cut 1, 2 or 3 times with thick
hooks. And
at that time the dolphins produce a grim cry like that of a new
born child.
But he suffers and there's no compassion while this magnificent
creature
slowly dies in its own blood.
Take care of the world, it is your home!

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 pilot whales and other small
cetaceans.
Islanders in motorboats first drive the whales into a bay. The
chase may be lengthy. The exhausted, terrified and confused whales
are eventually driven into the shallows. Here the bloodbath begins.
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.
The Faroese celebrate the butchery of their victims in a carnival
atmosphere of entertainment. Indoctrinated 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.
Every year around 2,000 whales are driven ashore and cruelly
slaughtered in the Faroe Islands, mid-way between the Shetland
Islands and Iceland. For centuries the Faroe Islanders have hunted
pilot whales, driving entire schools into killing bays, where they
are speared or gaffed from boats, dragged ashore and butchered with
knives. Although the Islands are a protectorate of Denmark, they
have their own Government and regulations governing the pilot whale
hunt or "grind" as it is known.
Aside from the fact that the number of North Atlantic long-finned
pilot whales is unknown and they are listed as 'strictly protected'
by the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and
Natural Habitats, this is an act of barbarism and pointlessness. By
slaughtering 100 whales at a time, the Faroese are wiping out
entire pods and family groups. They are removing building blocks
from the gene pool of the species and damaging the web of life in
the North Atlantic and the North Sea.
The drive hunt is a practice abandoned elsewhere many decades ago,
and now outlawed by other European states. The inhabitants of the
Faroe Islands have no subsistence need for whale meat, and much of
the flesh is left to rot and be dumped; it cannot be exported, as
it is polluted with heavy metals and other toxins and therefore
cannot meet EU heath standards for human food.
According to Faroese legislation it is also permitted to hunt
certain species of small cetaceans other than pilot whales. These
include: Bottlenose dolphin; Atlantic white-beaked dolphin;
Atlantic white-sided dolphin; and Harbour porpoise (There are also
specific regulations for the hunting of harbour porpoise. Harbour
porpoises are killed with shotguns).
