Calderon Dolphin Slaughter in Denmark

Every year, in Denmark, specifically the Faroe Islands, innocent and helpless Calderon Dolphins are slaughtered brutally by the danes.
This poor dolphins are stabbed a number of times, but as if that weren't enough, they bleed to death, probably in excruciating pain while the whole town watches.

Very surprisingly, young people are supposed to participate to this shame, so that they can show they became "real civilized men". Needles to say, that killing a deffensless animal is no proof of anybody's manhood.

It is certainly not our fault if the rest of the world can now consider them as the opposite of what they think the are... brutal, retarded and uncivilized.

I am concerned by the fact that they are somehow part of Europe...

Few notes (to try to find excuses on their acts) :

• do these people need to act like this in order to maintain their local way of life and industry ? This could be possible. Maybe the local economy requires fishing these cetaceans. But I keep being amazed that such a massive Slaughter be really needed.
• we should check on how things are really happening theses days because I had no way to know when these pictures were taken

I also found an interesting discussion about this here : http://honeyreyes.com/tag/massacre-of-calderon-dolphins-in-denmark/

"I forwarded the email to my students and one of them (from Germany) replied:

Hello Honey,
yes, this is sad!
But I think there is something wrong with the message.
Faroe Island is an autonomous province of Denmark.

I think this island is nearer Norway, and Norway is known for disagreeing to the international agreement against whaling.

This island is far away from all of the other continents.
Yes, it’s bad, that they are hunting whales and kill them in that way, but I think you must have a look to the whole situation of that island.

They live from the whales and fish, they are hunting and they have no other industry.
Another thing is, that you didn’t know how old these photos are…
warm regards
