Whaling at odds with 2009 Norwegian animal welfare act

[EmilieSannessMusic]

Im a norwegian..this is heartbreaking.. I hate them..I hate them so much I can't explain! I just wanna lay down and cry..

[anstseth]

who cares, what is done to other animals like cows is much worse, at least the whales have a good life before they get eaten

[Striker4928]

@anstseth who cares, it's obvious you're already suffering from brain damage, but you deserve the suffering from mercury poisoning as well.

[anstseth]

@Striker4928 yeah totally

[Striker4928]

Norwegians are swimming in oil, their average salaries are 3 times what other developed nations make. If you're a Norwegian in drag cleaning an oil pipeline you make more than middle class in most nations, so the reason they do these atrocities is for pure sadism. Plus whale is loaded with toxic mercury so they ship it to Japan. But there's a heroic Norway group called Agenda 21that has sunk 4 Norway whale killing ships. Even sadists can't support their bloody hobby with those kind of expenses.

[anstseth]

@Striker4928 but whale taste really good.....:)

[Striker4928]

@anstseth It also is laced with dangerous levels of toxic mercury. It steadily accumulates in the fat and tissues, and results in irreversible brain and nerve damage among other diseases. Hopefully you and your whole family are now dying..... :)

[Bigleg75]

There is nothing wrong with hunting whales. As long as it is not in danger of extinction it should be allowed to hunt just as we hunt any other animal. Whales are not special. The extremists has created some kind of super - whales who does not exist.

[NorwegianStory]

okey, fish lay eggs, whales give birth = whales are not fish. idiot.

and whale meat is really good !!!

[NedrevikOWNS]

Whale is not a fish you dumbass!

[harryfemten]

Westerns get pissed off by norwegian whalehunting, that's why i support it.

The Anglo-Saxon countries has to know that they can't order other people around.

[ljimeru]

Delicious whales... I'll try that whale burger again next time i come to Norway! Can't wait. :)

[LazyBoy3325]

whaling is not any worse than fishing, the eco-terrorists can take a hike

[Ilovecomedy7]

What's wrong about whaling ?

[Petitelady2010]

That's normal of you Christians to say things like that. Such a contradiction to Christianity lies. I only came here to defend Inuits, they have nothing to do with your issue. I'm not sure about the beef issue for Inuits, but Inuits have worst issues to deal with. I don't care if you think I believe in a double standard, because I'm only worried about you using Inuits in your whaling issue.

[Petitelady2010]

Honestly, why are you so stupid. Inuits should be able to whale it's apart of their living habit. They need to whale if they live traditionally and not modernized like Japanese or Norwegians. You have no clue about Inuit culture so shut up. I'm tired of people with no clue about Native americans, don't bother insulting them for your selfish whaling issue.

[Petitelady2010]

I don't even know why i'm responding to you. The only people in America that whale and are ALLOWED are Inuits in Alaska. They are allowed to whale Traditionally ONLY. They are not allowed to whale european style. You don't know anything about America or native people so shut up.

[KillaHaakon]

"Some whales can take up to an hour to die."

So essentially, outliers fuck up the statistics.

Also, whales are tasty, until that changes, we will eat them.

[Kaufman8]

Killing and eating whales is metal!

The minke whale is an inbred and evil kind of whale and it needs to be dealt with fast!

[venturafor2012]

after Sea Shepherd shuts down Japan's whaling, Norway is next!!!

[AnimalabusePissMeOff]

im wery sorry to ay that sea sheperd and all crew will have a problem if they go after the vikings! they will be sunk, iff not by whalers,, by me.... norwegian whaling is for food only and is always humane compared to japaneese style of whaling.

so if sea sheperd comes up to my country getting between me and my whale-steak.. god be with them...

[venturafor2012]

no whaling is humane!!! my mom's side of the family is Norwegian whaling has no place in the 21st Century!!!

mark my words: JAPANESE, NORWEGIAN, AND ICEANIC WHALING WILL BE STOPPED BY SEA SHEPHERD!!!

Sea Shepherd has already sunk 3 Norwegian ships and Agenda 21 has sunk a few more...

[AnimalabusePissMeOff]

o my god.... sea sheperd are just a boat filled with pussies... sea sheperd will end its campain in norwegian waters... its ok for me that they harass the japs thats just covering behind science. norway doesnt! we like to eat the whale and we do it with respect. the day sea sheperd comes to norway ill aply for a job on a whale boat.. and i wont take hostages.. ill throw them back overboard...

[KingNeptas]

lol its not only 6% who eat whale meat more like 30%

[WSPAUK]

to the users 'ihaveairlockers' and 'iraqgenocide', I have removed your comments. I understand that this is a divisive issue, but I can't support racism or extreme swearing. You are welcome to air your views on this page, but please keep them polite! Thanks, Katharine for WSPA UK

[ihaveairlockers]

Thank you :o)

I was just coming back here to remove my comments to prevent more rudeness being left by that person.

Again, thank you for pre-empting my actions. I am fine with that :o)

[dudexdue]

5% of Japanese eat whale meat, and only 6% eat Whale in Norway. Granted this is a market for it, but is it really enough? Why the hell is this still going on? Forget the Northern lights, forget how friendly the norwegians supposedly are. never shall I support their economy all the while this continues.

[WSPAUK]

enough of the south park swearing!

[NevaGonaGiveYouUp]

Fa fa fa fuck you whale

Fa fa fuck you whale

Ma ma ma ma!

[MarioandLuigiSS]

It would actually be FUCK U WERUUUUU AND FUCK U DORIFIN!!!!!!

O wait its CHICKEN AND COW!!!!!!!!!!

haha love south park

[skottalfred]

whale meat is not loved by everybody.

why is it a gov't subsidized industry?

whales are amazing and brilliant creatures w/ brains as complex as a human being.

it's just wrong to eat them.

culture should evolve - i'm sorry, but it's just a matter of education vs. ignorance.

im vegan because it's the right lifestyle for the planet / world / future - NOT because i want to be. i miss meat and cheese. but i must do my part, too.

[ihaveairlockers]

Save the Whale.....for me ! Yummy !

There is nothing like a fresh whale steak with salad, chips and an ice cold beer.

Fresh minke whale in norway is universal meat. You can cook and prepare it many different ways. You can BBQ it, Fry it, Bake it, Boil it, stew it, Casserole it, eat it raw, smoke it, Wok it, Stir fry it... the list goes on.

It's tasty, healthy and forms a part of my balanced dietry intake of food.

Save the Whale....for me ! Yummy !

[trondtioo]

Thes facts are wrong!!

Whailig has bee com a natonal symbol aginst the EU and US....the EU and US can do prety much what thay wont! But smal countries like Norway can even do what has been a part of over lifes for ever! I am sorry you dont like over cultur..but we whill not stopp!!  but we would never go so far that the whal populaton is destroyed!

[skottalfred]

whale meat is useless. that's why norway is bringing the fleet back 1/2 full in 2009. nobody wants it.

[richter75]

Lol, its one of the best meat there is.. Even our prime minister eats it regularly and minke whale is not endangered at all.

[ihaveairlockers]

You are an ignorant retarded lier.

The whale meat onboard norwegian whaling vessels is virtually ALL SOLD before the boat gets back to harbour.

Get a life you idiot and stop spreading bullshit

[WSPAUK]

sorry you feel this way - but we can't and don't make data up, people trust us and you have to be honest with them. From Katharine for WSPA UK

[ihaveairlockers]

Ever tasted fresh whale ?

It's a great meat, much like beef. It's universal. You can fry it, bake it, stew it, casserole it, wok it, boil it, eat it raw, bbq it, have it on pizza or just in a hamburger.

It's really nice. You should try it.

Or are you a Vegan eco warrior ?

A whale is a cow that swims, not a super intelligent fish.

Norway never reaches half the annual quota.

Most norwegians eat whale at least once a year.

6% live near the whale port, hence eaten often.

Bleeding hearts.

[DonkeyJiro]

Don't make up the data! Whale meat is loved by everybody but stupid anti whalers such as yourselves. We will restart commercial whaling in big scale sooner. Wait and cry!
