Danes massacred 500-1200 dolphin for fun

[Sebastianus Rex]

Have you read the article? The hunting is fully regulated and sustainable:

"The pilot whale hunt in the Faroe Islands is sustainable. The long-term annual average catch of pilot whales in the Faroe Islands represents less than 1% of the total estimated stock. It has long since been internationally recognised that pilot whale catches in the Faroe Islands are fully sustainable."

The Faroese government publicizes annual records of drives and strandings of pilot whales and other dolphins since the past century. On average the Faroese catch around 0.6% of the total stock around the Faroe, which is well below the reproductive rate of the respective total stock.

So there are no rational arguments for the condemnation of these hunts. It is pure hysteria of softened Westerners, most of whom eat meat everyday.

I did not read the article. If it is fully regulated then there's not much to talk about, no different than fishing for other species such as sardines which also have quotas to maintain the stocks.

The matter is not even if it is regulated or if it is for fun or food but the way they kill all these dolphins.
Muslims also kill lambs for food, the problem comes in the way they kill them for their stupid halal ritual.

Also jews with their kosher nonsense. The cattle suffer immensely before dying. My first job was working at a meat packing plant/slaughter house. We would just shoot the cattle point blank in the head with a rifle. End of story.

I never thought that such uncivilized barbarism still exist in Europe, but it seems North Europe didn't change.

I see... The "soul" of the Vikings has not changed at all ... They were and still are the most uncivilized inhabitants of Europe ..
1100 years of contact with civilization was not enough to raise the Vikings from the animal level to the human one...

Typical Apricity level: "North Europeans are typical beasts, subhumans, look how disgusting they are for slaughtering living, sentient animals" while in the same time baking eggs for breakfast, eating chicken soup for lunch and salami sandwich before going to bed, or any other variation of food containing products originating in sentient beings (my respect to those members who criticize from the position of following a plant-based diet). The hypocrisy is just on another level.

Not push. But if people had to visit slaughterhouse to see how their food is made, than many would change their mind.

It honestly makes no difference to the pig if you're 5 year old kid saw it slaughtered, or never seen it get slaughteted because he was too busy playing minecraft.

Pig still gets killed in the end. And in slaughter houses pig gets slaughtered, not "put down" even, so its suffering immensely either.
Even so a pig never consents to their life being taken from them. No one would argue its ok to feed dolphins or sharks the flesh of human vegetables and other mentally disabled or incapacitated people.

Humans in general are hypocrites about animal rights. Vegans are honestly the only morally superior ones to this issue even though animals do act barbaric towards each other. Humans tend to be oblivious to their own bias.

Imagine raising children that never participate in an animals' death for food. I can't. At a minimum, a fish. Then immediately cook it over a fire and enjoy.

In modern civilization its normal.
You go to the super market and buy when its already been dead from a animal slaughterhouse. You're not some hunter gatherer with internet hotspot or who occaionally stops by a cafe for free internet are you?

[Damião de Góis]

The issue isn't killing for eating meat. It's organizing a sadistic ritual with mass killings for everyone to see. How else would the sea at the shore turn red? Certainly not with a normal whale hunt at open sea. No, that's the effect of traping a huge amount of whales in a small space for "red sea" purposes.
