Ilhas Faroé, Fábrica de monstros.

[faroe10]

Bom mesmo são os Brasileiros, agenciam prostitutas para Espanha, travestis para a Itália, devastam o cerrado para plantar soja, destroem a Amazônia para exportar madeira, capturam e vendem para Estrangeiros, animais exóticos e silvestres, como cobras, macacos, aves entre outros em extinção, exterminam índios para construção de usinas hidroelétricas, temos festas tradicionais na qual, matam e torturam boi, fazendo uma alusão ao Judas. Mas de volta assunto principal, o que a Ilhas Faroë fez mesmo?

[mduartpires]

@faroe10 deixa de ser babaca meu!!! contrabando é ilegal aqui no Brasil assim como a farra do boi, devastação da Amazonia, mas infelizmente aqui também existem predadores cretinos com a mentalidade dinamarquesa... pelo menos combatemos!! e cenas de barbarie como esta não acontecem aqui no Brasil...experimenta fazer isso aqui em qualquer paria p ver se a população não te lincha !!! Não compro nada que venha deste teu pais !! Essa matança é extremamente primitiva...idiótas !!!!

[faroe10]

@mduartpires Ok, Você nem deve comer Frango, Carne, nem nada... Esqueceu de como é retirada a carne de vitela? E, a carne de porco, sabia que são mortos com facadas ? Sabia que fazem cócegas nos porcos antes de extermina-los, resultando em uma das mortes mais dolorosas que existe? O que você acha disso?

[faroe10]

@mduartpires Será que na Índia onde é cultuado a Vaca, não tem o mesmo repúdio como você tem com a Ilhas Faroë? Se você não sabe, a usina de itaupú deixará vários índios isolados, e te digo foi a Dilma sua presidente que outorgou a construção de usinas e barragem. Será que ela vai ser "linchada" ??? Ou seja, também é ilegal no Brasil a extinção das tribos indígenas, mas mesmo assim acontece..

[faroe10]

@mduartpires .Porquê será? responda só essa, se ainda tiver estomago para tal. Se exterminamos nossos primeiros habitantes... Vem cá, você ainda se preocupa com Baleias que virão a ser alimento para uma comunidade inteira? Nenhum pedaço da baleia é disperdiçado, ao contrário da cultura de disperdício dos Brasileiros. Ah, vai estudar filho, a conversa aqui é para adultos, depois você reaparece, ok???

[mduartpires]

@faroe10 ahhh nem vou perder tempo com essas tuas asneiras... Te junta la com os Japoneses e vai caçar baleias para alimentar uma comunidade, caso contrário vão todos morrer de fome... Não gasto nem um centavo com produtos dinamarqueses... Além de carne de baleia o que a dinamarca produz??? quase nada....

"SO GO AND EDUCATE YOURSELF INSTEAD OF WASTING OUR TIME! IDIOT" Gosh you are stupid! You think you are something because you are a marine biologist. Look here i'm an educated mechanical engineer. Didn't get my degree for nothing loser!

Faroese are far better educated in general than brit

[human20freedom]

@turbofritz2 i am not english, and having a degree dont make you clever either, politicians that have degrees are more stupid than people with no degree and logic, yes i know more than anyone else YES I AM A MARINE BIOLOGIST and i KNOW MORE compared to idiots and barbarians like you....i had spent enough time debating with idiots like you.!

[turbofritz2]

@human20freedom i'm not barbarian neither an idiot! I am pretty civilized compared to you! I don't believe you have any degree, you are probably just an thug running in the streets making trouble.

I'd tell you what, people like you who go around like libirals and stirring up trouble are being arested in the civilizrd world. Maybe you think that you can stir up trouble in your part of the world, but doesn't work in pratice here.

[human20freedom]

@turbofritz2 yeah spending my time wrtting to idiots like you instead of working on my research proposal !

@human20freedom if you are a higly respected scientist then tell us your name.

@turbofritz2 my name is "fuck of whale killers"" and this is the last time spending my time youtube...goodbye and when all the pilot whales will be gone then the world be a better place...goodbye !

[turbofritz2]

@human20freedom So you are afraid to stand up for your views ay?

You know that in order for a scientist to be known and respected the least he has to do is to release his name. If he can't get that right then he isn't of much use.

give me a shotgun to shoot the stupid fisherman..if you can call them fisherman...fisherman have much more respect for fish than these idiots have for marine MAMMALS!

[turbofritz2]

@human20freedom God you are fucking stupid... These are not fishermen these are normal people who have jobs who rush to shore when whales are spottet on random (almost a legal reason to escape from work)

FIshermen have more respect of the fish?? LOL how stuid are you fishes are pumped into huge ships and are trawled up swept through factories.

Do you have any clues how fishery work or even how normal farming works where you live? have you examined how you get your burger meat???

[human20freedom]

@turbofritz2 1. I am a well established scientist MARINE BIOLOGIST...so pay attention who you call stupid , 2. I dont care if they are fisherman or not, but i care on what they ar doing , 3. Fishes dont have such intelligence as marine mammals, 4. marine mammals have social structure-families, they communicate,it gave us the truth, that we are not the only ones in this planet, there are very inteligent organisms, and most important,

[human20freedom]

@human20freedom ALSO FOR Turbofritz2 5. they are more sensitive to population decline due to low reproductive rate (same for sharks), and if not all these are not enough, any top predator meat (sharks, tuna, dolphins) has high concentration of Heavy metals and is far from healthy...i know more than you on fisheries and aquaculture its my area of research...SO GO AND EDUCATE YOURSELF INSTEAD OF WASTING OUR TIME! IDIOT

[turbofritz2]

@human20freedom I don't care if you are marine biologist or not. I am not. I know that pigs do also have a social awareness and breeding swins only to later kill do you think that is better in any way?

[turbofritz2]

"I am a well established scientist MARINE BIOLOGIST - so pay attention who you call stupid" WOW so you are realy higly respected in UK thats realy impressive!!

"i know more than you on fisheries and aquaculture its my area of research"

[simplesefeliz]

This is rediculous how can a human being do this to such peaceful creatures? they should be ashamed and disgraced vy what they've done...

So this is the true habit of the Denmark people (first world country)

[torstein]

How about pigs, chickens, cows, sheep, turkey and such, or even cats and dogs and rabbit and rats and horses? Do some research on how those are kept alive only to be slaughtered! The whales are not hunted as it is with deers and such. They are only taken if they are spotted near the shore, and the number can be as little as under one hundred or less a year, as opposed to millions of pigs and cows and chickens in almost every other country in the world

The Faroes "Bay Of Blood" are a group of about 30 islandslocated in the North Atlantic Ocean, situated halfway between Icelandand Scotland. They fall under the crown of Denmark, but aresemi-independent. The population is about 46,000, and they inhabitabout half of the islands. The Faroes economy relies only on economic fishing, but that doesnt give them the right to slaughter 544 Atlantic white sided dolphins in a single day, like they did in 1988.

[Gardalid]

30 islands .. ? Where do you get your information .. ? There are 18 islands ..

[simplesefeliz]

Recently, studies have shown that the meat and blubber of pilot whales contain high amounts of mercury, PCBs, DDT and dieldrin.

To the people of the Faroe Islands...I say, "STOPTHIS SENSELESS MASSACRE!!!" Anyone who could bury a hook into the backof a whale, drag it to shore, slit its throat, and butcher it, deservesto die of mercury poisoning...or worse.

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).

The people dress in traditional costume, and are eager to receive the cetaceans. The dolphin whales arrive in groups, there are many females with their young. They are sociable animals, they are curious and they are not afraid of humans. Its the great autumn festival for the islanders. The motor boats urge the whales

[aGeilini]

the schools don't close when there is grind, it isn't even mentioned in the radio. and there is no traditional costume that goes with the wealing.

[simplesefeliz]

WISE COMMENTARY:

santnamor2013

mercury, PCBs and DDT derivatives....I guess those people would still eat whale even if the scientific community would inform them that those chemicals can disrupt the reproductive capacity of any living organism.

Once there is such a small community that highly consume heavy metals and chemicals, it is certain that this society will perish and their anti-global culture will sink deep into the Atlantic Ocean.

Finally: Isolation = their culture is limited.

SHAME on the CURRENT WHALING, of the countries that continue ASSASSINATING WHALES, therefore very distant is of being TRUE WHALING, but intentions for ends TO EXTORT the MOUNTS OF MONEY OF the GOVERNMENT, with varied names: some appraise the hunting as: TRADITION, others, for SCIENTIFIC ends, however, the result is the same: WE PAY WITH OUR TAXES to assassinate our animals and FOR an END TO the PLANET!

[simplesefeliz]

Japanese Government invited Denmark, as many other Governments, to a meeting this February to discuss the future of the Whaling Industry. The clear intent is to create an illusion of widespread support for an end to the moratorium on commercial whaling by the IWC.

[simplesefeliz]

Denmark position inside the International Whaling Commission (IWC) has changed many times in the past years. Mostly of its population opposes whaling and it has supported many positive initiatives to protect whales, but recently it changed again its position becoming a strong pro-whaling country, mostly due to the pressure of Greenland and the Faroe island.

[simplesefeliz]

Campaigners also say the trade could become a smokescreen for illegal hunting of whales.

Although commercial whaling is banned worldwide, Iceland, like Japan, hunts minke whales for "scientific research"; this year its boats caught about 60 individuals.

[simplesefeliz]

Iceland is to begin exporting whalemeat from its scientific whaling programme.

Iceland's whaling commissioner told the BBC that up to two tonnes of minke whalemeat would be exported to the Faroe Islands.

Environmental groups say the deal breaches international rules on trading threatened species, though Iceland and the Faroe Islands say it does not.

Campaigners also say the trade could become a smokescreen for illegal hunting of whales.

Segundo estudo de Erich Hoyt e Miguel Iñíguez em 2008, as baleias e os golfinhos valem muito mais vivas do que mortas. Em 2006, o turismo de observação de cetáceos ocorria em 91 comunidades na América latina, movimentando recursos financeiros da ordem de $US 278.128,00. No Brasil, em 2006, 225 mil pessoas foram observar golfinhos ou baleias, movimentando $US 31.506,00. Esses cetáceos devem ser preservados por questões éticas, pela preservação da biodiversidade.

Even veteran researchers from the Minamata saga were shocked by the new figures. "Hirokatsu Akagi, a director of the National Institute for Minamata Disease, was very surprised," says Endo. "He'd never seen levels above 20 micrograms per gram."

On average, concentrations of mercury in whale and dolphin livers were 370 micrograms per gram, 900 times the government limit. Average levels in kidneys and lungs were also high, about 100 times the limit. None of the samples was below the limit.

[simplesefeliz]

JAPAN 2002

The researchers call on the government to impose tighter regulations on the consumption of whale organs. In particular, they warn that pregnant women risk poisoning their unborn children. In the 1950s and early 1960s, hundreds of children around Japan's Minamata Bay were born with horrific birth defects after their mothers ate seafood contaminated with mercury compounds, which had been poured raw into the bay since the 1930s. Thousands more suffered brain damage.

Extreme mercury levels revealed in whalemeat

At these concentrations, a 60-kilogram adult eating just 0.15 grams of liver would exceed the weekly mercury intake considered safe by the World Health Organization, say Tetsuya Endo, Koichi Haraguchi and Masakatsu Sakata at the University of Hokkaido, who carried out the research. "Acute intoxication could result from a single ingestion," they warn in a draft paper accepted for publication in The Science of the Total Environment.

[simplesefeliz]

2002

Extreme mercury levels revealed in whalemeat

Tests on whalemeat on sale in Japan have revealed astonishing levels of mercury. While it has long been known that the animals accumulate heavy metals such as mercury in their tissues, the levels discovered have surprised even the experts.

Two of the 26 liver samples examined contained over 1970 micrograms of mercury per gram of liver. That is nearly 5000 times the Japanese government's limit for mercury contamination, 0.4 micrograms per gram.

[simplesefeliz]

And of course pilot whales, who are intelligent, highly social animals, are forced to endure severe physical and psychological suffering during the drive hunt—the hunt does not meet humane slaughter standards at any level.

[simplesefeliz]

Unnecessary Slaughter

The Faroese pilot whale hunts are now completely unnecessary as they are no longer needed to provide food for islanders. With recent studies showing that the meat from dolphin species contains toxins that are unsafe to consume, no one should be eating meat from the pilot whales anyway.

[simplesefeliz]

Pregnant Faroese women and young children have historically been frequent consumers of the meat, resulting in an increase in learning disabilities and other health problems in the population. An advisory recommending only limited pilot whale meat consumption for these groups is now issued by the government, but the hunt goes on.

HSI works closely with WDCS (the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society), which has approached this issue indirectly, in an effort to avoid reinforcing local resistance to international protests. Since the pilot whale hunt is conducted for local consumption, WDCS has highlighted the negative side of eating the meat. Scientific studies have shown that pilot whale meat is highly contaminated with PCBs, heavy metals, and other toxins.

[simplesefeliz]

Taking the Right Approach

Because of this, most protest efforts in the past by groups concerned with animal welfare and population sustainability have only inflamed the situation and pushed the hunt numbers up, making the hunt into more of a demonstration of community pride than a necessary food source. In recent years, the numbers of pilot whales killed have been in decline, quite possibly because the population around the Faroe Islands is in decline.

[simplesefeliz]

Annual Faroe Islands Drive Hunt of Pilot Whales Should End

Many people have seen the graphic pictures portraying the annual drive hunt of pilot whales in the Faroe Islands, an autonomous province of Denmark. During these hunts, pods of pilot whales, a species in the dolphin family, are driven ashore and then brutally killed. About 950 pilot whales die every year during the killing season, which generally takes place in the summer.

[simplesefeliz]

The Faroe Islands international image is already tarnished as word of the hunts spreads around the globe. The hunt discourages tourists from visiting the Islands and will continue to do so until the killing has stopped. The Faroese government needs to take action and end the hunts once and for all in order to save its image and spare hundreds of pilot whales the cruel deaths that take place every year in these northern islands.

[simplesefeliz]

1980

It would seem that the pilot whale has developed a high level of tolerance with regard to mercury - in addition to a pollution immunity mechanism. Owing to its special diet, the pilot whale carries a higher level of mercury than other species of marine mammals in the North Atlantic. In general, toothed whales carry a higher level than baleen whales.

[simplesefeliz]

Source: "Marine Hunters: Whaling and Sealing in the North Atlantic," published by the High North Alliance, 1997.

Pilot whale meat contains relatively large amounts of mercury. We do not know how much of this comes from natural sources on the sea bed and how much comes from human pollution.

The medical officers note that it wasn't the Faroese who created the pollution. But "these results have already led to tightened restrictions on pollution worldwide. We must therefore also ourselves acknowledge the consequences."

[simplesefeliz]

FAROE ISLANDS (30 Nov 2008) — Chief medical officers of the Faroe Islands have recommended that pilot whales no longer be considered fit for human consumption, because they are toxic - as revealed by research on the Faroes themselves.

The remote Atlantic islands, situated between Scotland and Iceland, have been one of the last strongholds of traditional whaling, with thousands of small pilot whales killed every year, and eaten by most Faroese.

[simplesefeliz]

Anti-whaling groups have long protested, but the Faroese argued that whaling is part of their culture - an argument adopted by large-scale whalers in Japan and Norway.

But today in a statement to the islanders, chief medical officers Pál Weihe and Høgni Debes Joensen announced that pilot whale meat and blubber contains too much mercury, PCBs and DDT derivatives to be safe for human consumption.

[simplesefeliz]

"It is with great sadness that this recommendation is provided," they said. "The pilot whale has kept many Faroese alive through the centuries."

But in "a bitter irony", they said, research on the impact of the pollutants on the Faroese themselves has shown that mercury, especially, causes lasting damage.

[simplesefeliz]

The work has revealed damage to fetal neural development, high blood pressure, and impaired immunity in children, as well as increased rates of Parkinson's disease, circulatory problems and possibly infertility in adults. The Faroes data renewed concerns about low-level mercury exposures elsewhere.

I gave this one star. Because you probably write that we are monsters and such stupid things.

[maxyochanan]

Sorry, I don't want offend anyone. But how do you classify people who kill whales only for fun, and people that don't do that, they should try to stop!

[turbofritz2]

@maxyochanan The pilot whale stock is plentifull. This is NOT done by amusement. This has been done for hundreds of years to get food. People flock to such places because it's action but this is not an planned event, this happens on random when small boats spot whales. This is not some kind of ritual or festival.

I have to admit that we could survive well enough without this, whaling is a very small part of our diet and we are a modern nation that has plentifull of money to buy other stuff.

[turbofritz2]

@maxyochanan if we stop whaling then we import more of other stuff and there will be X more pigs that will be slaughtered in mainland europe. That doesn't make it better any bit.

@turbofritz2 MONSTERS!

[turbofritz2]

@silx2000 Shut the fuck up slix2003 you fucking retard!!!

[silx2000]

@turbofritz2 you kill dolphins and am I a retard?

[turbofritz2]

So if you kill a dolphine then you become a retard? How about if you buy a hamburger witch is made of cowmeat then you automaticaly approve of the killings of cows?

[turbofritz2]

@silx2000 You are a retard comming in here to comment when you don't know anything about this. You come from one of the biggest rape countries in earth.

While we just get food from the sea and hunt whales then you have much more of a large problem.

[silx2000]

@turbofritz2 you are an intellectually limited person. Everyone without an argument about something, changes the subject when they have no answer to something inexplicable.

[turbofritz2]

@silx2000 so what don't i have any answer for?

[silx2000]

I can not answer now. I have to rape the victim of the day now! Have a nice life!

[turbofritz2]

@silx2000 yeah go back to the dirty streets of brazil wait for the police to rape you or something..

[silx2000]

@turbofritz2 yeah, but I prefer my country....we know who is bandit...they use poor and dirty cloths, weird aspect, suspicious behavior or they are corrupt politicians in suits that we know the names .And you ? You know who is killer of defenseless dolphins? Yeah, you know...they are your neighbors, colleagues, fathers, cousins, that practice medieval rituals for the day, and at night they use Armani, Cartier, BMWs, like a group of stupid person worse than person from a country rapist.

[turbofritz2]

@silx2000 So you believe that killing pilot whales for food is worse than raping people? Then you must be so fucking sick in the head.

[silx2000]

@turbofritz2 yeah, I understand your side....your country is poor and you need meat of whales and dolphins to survive...

[turbofritz2]

@silx2000 No actualy my country isn't that poor we can survive pretty well without whale meat.

Actualy we are pretty rich. About the same living standard or higher than in United states at least.

We don't eat that much of whale meat. It's maybe 5 times a year or something like that.

It's not dolphin - it's pilot whale. It's luxury food for us. And quiet honestly pretty healty.

[silx2000]

@silx2000 learn a thing that my mother speakes ,,,,,Who speaks that wants, hears what he dislikes.

[turbofritz2]

Good video. I don´t understand the text. If you propose that we should be monsters then shame on you! you don´t understand anything then.

[maxyochanan]

The whales are sick, no one eats them, I know very well that is so for Amusement, I think it is a tradition, but my tradition is to defend the environment!
