Appalling new footage shows cruelty of Norwegian whaling

[fackhomser]

Lol. It's fake. Just look at the number on the vessel in the beginning and the number in the end of the vid. They are different. btw Whale tastes good :D

Hval æ gøttare enn gøtt. Og gøtt som æ sæ gøtt :P

[Xyphion]

mm whale meat :)

[HaveaHearrt]

Shameful that any country allows this. However, we should not condemn the entire country of Norway. Like the Japanese, most non-whalers do not support the whale hunt or are ignorant of it. I live in America as a foreigner, and the way that America slaughters animals is repulsive. Let us not condemn the whole country, rather the people who condone and participate in these activities.

[alonzo9772]

Don't they know that this makes their country look bad? I don't see why they even want the aggravation of being called whale hunters.

[Lovelight615]

@alonzo9772 No oil and killing ala Anders Breivk is Norways melody...

[alonzo9772]

@Lovelight615 Huh?

[wrylie188]

@alonzo9772 So what do you suggest they eat?

[alonzo9772]

@wrylie188 There's really nothing for them to eat other than whale? Come on now. Don't act like whale is the only thing in their diet.

[wrylie188]

@alonzo9772 No, but it is a huge part. Do you know what weather is like in Norway? It is hard if not impossible to farm during the majority of the year, they don't have the huge tracts of farming land that Americans do, and whale is not only a huge part of their diet, but a pillar of their economy.

[alonzo9772]

@wrylie188 Don't Sweden and Finland have similar climate? And they banned whaling with no problems.

[wrylie188]

@alonzo9772 Not really. Norway is mostly mountains, Finland has many lakebeds and flatlands, sweden slightly less so, but they do not share much coastline with the atlantic ocean. Norway, on the other hand, is almost all coatline, fishing and whaling have been some of their most profitable activities for hundreds of years.

[alonzo9772]

@wrylie188 Sure be greedy just think about the money.

[wrylie188]

@alonzo9772 You have absolutely no idea what Norway's economy is do you? Anyway, why is it so wrong to kill whales?

[alonzo9772]

@wrylie188 It's illegal in most countries, I don't understand why be "rebels" and still do it. If eating beef or chicken were illegal in most countries, than i would stop. And you can quote me on that.

[wrylie188]

@alonzo9772 Most of worlds population believes that women should be subservent to men, so by your logic you should agree with that.

[alonzo9772]

@wrylie188 I actually don't think that's true. I don't think most people in the world think that.

[wrylie188]

@alonzo9772 you don't think that's true? why don't you check the statistics instead of spouting opinions.

[alonzo9772]

@wrylie188 How hard is it to just let whales go? I don 't think that's asking for much.

[wrylie188]

@alonzo9772 You fail to give a reason why.

[alonzo9772]

@wrylie188 More than three quarters of the world ban whaling. Why can't Norway, Iceland and Japan evolve to what most people feel?

[wrylie188]

@alonzo9772 Why should we? Diversity in culture is one of the things that makes Humans great and strong; Why would you want to make every culture in the world the same? The majority of the world's population also believes that women are subservent to men, by your logic: why cant America, England, etc. juist evolve to what most people feel?

[alonzo9772]

@wrylie188 We? Aren't you from USA? That's what your profile says.

[wrylie188]

@alonzo9772 I am Nordic, I moved to America a few years ago.

[vaultkeeper2]

@alonzo9772 there isnt any whales in Sweden and Finland, thats why they dont hunt them

[hornvin]

@alonzo9772 No, its not. Im norwegian, and ive never tasted whale. Not beacuse i have anything against it, im sure it delicious.Just because ive never have. But why should one stop hunting whales ? They are not endangered. And belive it or not, humans are predators. Its our oblegation to hunt whales, we function as a part of the food chain, and without whaling. The nuber of whales would grow over the sustainable number. And a mass death would occur. Why do you want that ?

[alonzo9772]

@hornvin A mass death? Are you kidding me? Whaling has been banned in most of the U.S and Canada and we're not dying.

[hornvin]

@alonzo9772 Of whales you idiot.

[alonzo9772]

@hornvin What source do you have that if you don't kill whales than they grow to an outrageous number and die off? Keep in mind most female whales can only give birth once in their lives.

[hornvin]

@alonzo9772 My source ? the teaching of biology ....An population wich is not on the top of the food chain, and suddently experience a lack of predators to hold the population down. Will experience a rapid growt in numbers. They will eventually eat all their food, and they will die. The nubers will eventually get stable, after many many deaths. NO ! if a whale could only give birth once in their life, the species would never survive. So that is total bullshit !

[alonzo9772]

@hornvin You would have to take that up with my Ecology teacher then who said whales can only give birth once. So are you against the whole idea of species protection? Oh yeah let's all just go back to the pre-historic times and shoot everything we see.

[hornvin]

@alonzo9772 Well, either your techer is an idiot, and should not teach. Or you misheard him, once a year is true, not once in their life. No, im not against protecting species. But im against us, after thousands of years being at the top of the food chain, and then suddently stop. Leaving the animal kingdom in total anarchy. We should hunt what needs to be hunt, but never make an animal extinct, like tigers, wolfs, etc.

[hornvin]

@alonzo9772 This is because evolution teach us, that for a species to evolve and survive. There must be born more offspring than the number of offsprings that will survive. If the whales could only give birth once in their life. They would be incredibly vounerable to diseases, natural disasters etc. The species would never survive.

[alonzo9772]

@hornvin Don't twist the theory of evolution to mean that it's okay that we kill everything around us. Do you think we should start eating dogs and cats also? To control their populations?

[hornvin]

@alonzo9772 wtf ? the theory of evolution is based on animals killing other animals, and we , as an animal, are a part of this, wether we like it or not. Dogs and cats do no longer have part in the natural evolution. Their evolution is fake, because of us. Yes, we should. Too many cats and dogs is a problem world wide. Maby not eat them if you find it uncomfertable. But the uncontollable growt is a problem.

[alonzo9772]

@hornvin If not eat them then what? What's your solution? Tell us.

[hornvin]

@alonzo9772 kill them if necessary, and Castration.

[alonzo9772]

@hornvin (nods head in shame).

[hornvin]

@alonzo9772 yes, the world is not disney. Get out and experince the world outside your room.

[alonzo9772]

@hornvin What bothers me most is that there is no heart in anything you say. You don't seem to be a person that feels the need to defend the defenseless.

[hornvin]

@alonzo9772 wtf, they are not defenseless. No animals are defenseless. They can run, they can warn eachother, all species are a result of their ability to defend themself, or to kill others for food. If the whale was not able to defend itself, it would not exist. Humans, as a predator, have evolved the ultimate weapon, against other species, our brain. Wich has placed us at the top of the food chain, wich makes you able to sit at your computer, and act as ignorant as you do.

[alonzo9772]

@hornvin I'm not the one being ignorant, saying we need to eat cats and dogs to maintain their population is being ignorant.

[hornvin]

@alonzo9772 How so ? just because you think so ? people in china eat dogs, who are you to tell them thats wrong. Im sure you eat alot of cow, pig and chicken. No difference.

[alonzo9772]

@hornvin The tradition of eating dogs is actually dying out. Like in China they stopped a dog meat festival some months ago, since tons of news reporters were planning to be there.

[hornvin]

@alonzo9772 So ? the point is still valid. and the point beeing you try to force people in to your way of life, you try to change their culture. And what right do you have to do that ? USA is so fucked up ( exuse the language) that i dont get how you could want other countries to be like you.

[alonzo9772]

@hornvin It's not just the U.S where it's mostly illegal. You want me to start listing? It's a pretty long list.

[hornvin]

@alonzo9772 So what, i could list severall countries where eating cow is illegal. There is difference between cultures.

[alonzo9772]

@hornvin A list of countries where selling whale meat is at least ten times longer than a list of countries where selling cow meat is illegal. Some things in culture need to end. Like my parents are from Mexico and I'm very against chicken fighting and bullfighting.

[scullyy]

@alonzo9772 Your countries allow factory farming which is much worse. Fix your own country before trying to "fix" others.

[alonzo9772]

@scullyy I'm against and speak out against cruel farm conditions. Can't I do both? I can hold more than one thought.

[SpectreWriter]

@hornvin Deluded fellow, we are not the apex predator. We are a plague. YOUR brain can't even spell properly. Man doesn't build a computer. THOUSANDS of men build it, over a development that took billions of people thousands of years.

The oceans are the cetaceans' home. We are invaders there. Yet cetaceans befriend us regularly, verifiably. Killing them is a huge betrayal of that good will and trust.  Killing a non-prey species is amongst men's sins. Learn, don't just type vapid beliefs.

[hornvin]

@SpectreWriter Well, im sorry for not writing a foreign language perfectly. Im guessing you write norwegian perfectly, since you are so quick to judge. Im sorry, the world is not the disney world you believe it to be. The fact is, humans kill for food.

[SpectreWriter]

@hornvin No, the fact is that YOU kill for food. (Actually, I'm guessing you pay others to do your dirty work.) I do not kill for food. Millions of people on this planet do not kill for food.

Focus on the one bit about spelling, and ignore the rest of the points, eh? Tiny little brain can't answer the rest. There is NO good excuse to be killing a being like this, even if you are going to eat other beings.

Learn. Grow. Evolve. Do better. BE better. Change.

[hornvin]

@SpectreWriter No, i do not kill for food. I could, but that would mean taking other peoples jobs. And I wont do that, because i am a part of a modern society. You do not kill for food, billions of other people do. The fact that your arguments is backed up with personal insults, only shows what an idiot you are. Killing other animals is the basic of evolution. People like you, would not survive outside a modern society.

[SpectreWriter]

@hornvin Your presumptions show you are a fool. I'm a VERY capable hunter. But I CHOOSE not to eat from the flesh and sufferings of other beings. You do kill, you just have other people doing the dirty-work for you. My "argument" is back by facts, and you have refuted NONE of them, which demonstrates that you cannot justify the killing. No one can, actually. It is murder to kill when you do not need to do so to survive. Humans thrive on plants. Meat brings illness but you won't stop

[SpectreWriter]

@hornvin Bottom line: Whales are not prey species. They are highly intelligent, social, evolved beings. Grow some food and stop killing them.

[hornvin]

@SpectreWriter Humans eat both meat and plant, that is one of the genious things our evolution has created. Just look at our teeth, they are built both for chewing plants and meat. There is no need to justify the killing, killing other animals is the way nature work. Whales are no more intelligent than a pig, btw, pigs are actually quite smart. Grow food ? I do, more than you, i live on a farm you see. But that will not stop me from eating meat. Because there is nothing wrong with that.

[SpectreWriter]

@hornvin Wrong all the way around. Our teeth are not for killing. We do not see raw flesh as inviting the way a predator does. Our intestines and stomach are those of vegetarians. Elephants, gorillas, giraffes, all VEGETARIANS, and powerful.  Whales are FAR more intelligent and intricate than a pig... and whales are not a prey species. LIVING on a farm doesn't mean you grow anything. There is PLENTY wrong with killing and eating another living being, if you weren't afraid to see it.

[mrbooyeah]

watch tourism in norway and iceland go down the drain .. we are taking donations in hervery bay / whale watch capitol of the world for a tv campaign for all australians to boycott your countries .. HOPE YOUR TOURISM INDUSTRY GOES BROKE

[geitebukk]

@mrbooyeah Killing a whale is just as killing a fish. Well, as long as we don't threath the existence to the whales..:)

[fackhomser]

@mrbooyeah I doesn't. We have nice mountains ;)

[vaultkeeper2]

@mrbooyeah unfortuently for you, Norway is the richest country in the world, more rich than Australia

[seawolf1451]

Great English applying for a job in BBC????

And this is how whalehunting is,just as you shoot a dear in the forest..

[risbolla]

I'll admit that I'd like to see the whalers harpoon the bleeding heart activists more than the whales. Too bad the carcass of an activist isn't worth nearly what a whale is worth. In the mean time I've got better things to do than to feel sorry for some dead animals, which should speak in volumes about the importance of whaling seeing as I can take time off to make comments on YouTube.

[felipemacxD]

hey whaler, let me shot an arpoon in your head.

[NJDEVIL91923]

Only a matter of time before the Blue and Grey sea shepherd ships arrive. Maybe not this season but soon enough.

Enjoy the final days of your disgusting slaughter.

[Littek]

Hey! Stop that racist bullshit. Did you notice that the person in this video also is norwegian? Do you think that he is the only one that opposes whaling in norway!?

There's even a Sea Shepherd branch in Norway being planned, it's time for this shit to stop, but your whining about "disgusting norwegians and europeans" isn't helping at all.

[marktorresx]

europeans are sick

disgusting people

[Norfaust]

@marktorresx You do know that americans kill whales too? In Alaska. With federal approval. Americans are soooo ignorant...

[casimere]

@Norfaust No, humanity is ignorant, we are our own worst enemy when it comes to the earth and all living creatures. You don't have to be an Einstein to realize that if we continue on this path, it's foolish not to expect major repercussions in the process that will be irreversible!

[NeverShoutCookies]

@jalopotan

i was woundering why the fuck were you slipping out on americans on the whale vid?

because fo reals you guys KILLED whales!!!!

CUTE INNOCENT WHALES!! YOU JUST FUCKING KILLED THEM!

it was in NORWAY! and your flipping out on americans because the start war? SO! humans need to fucking die! there killing animals like if they dont have any hearts or fucking familys!

so you really need to cut the shit.

[jalopotan]

Its just a fucking whale you faggots...we need to worry about our kids BUT NO YOU WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOUR WHALES!Fuck you!all of you for hating on these people!

[VampireZombieX]

@VampireZombieX

A shame that Norway and its people are so ignorant and stupid to support animal cruelty. I want to burn the loser-flag when I see animal cruelty. Norway, the country of the losers. I'm ashamed to be norwegian.

[jalopotan]

@VampireZombieX The people probably don't know!AND BURN THERE FLAG?HOW ABOUT I STEP ON THE AMERICAN FLAG YOU ASSHOLE!

[VampireZombieX]

@jalopotan

I AM noregian, duh!

[VampireZombieX]

@jalopotan

Forresten... lær deg å lese hele kommentaren før du antar at jeg er amerikansk, din ignorante sulikk.

Alle vet jo at folk er grusomme med dyrene, bare fordi de ikke kan snakke vårt språk, og tror at de ikke kan tenke. Menneskene er de eneste ignorante taperne som ikke kan tenke (gjelder vel bare de ignorante tingene som tror at dyr ikke har følelser eller tanker). Sånne som deg kommer vel aldri til å forstå.

[VampireZombieX]

@jalopotan

Å, ja... en ting til: Lær deg å skrive engelsk. Det er "Their flag", ikke "there flag". Lærte du ikke engelsk på skolen? Jeg trodde Norge skulle ha gode skoler, haha, likevel er det mange folk som ikke kan si "hei" på engelsk engang! Hahaha! XoD

[MrNadaname]

"it is possible that this was the same whale". So it's possible that it's not the same whale? Meaning that it's possible that the whalers being accused of animal cruelty are innocent? It seems possible that this video is worthless as evidence of animal cruelty...

[jalopotan]

@MrNadaname NO ANIMAL CRUELITY IS PUTTING FUCKING ANIMALS IN SEA WORLD YOU AMERICAN FOR FUCKING ENTERTAINMENT!NOT IF THERE IN YOUR WATERS AND NOT IF THERE IN THE OCEAN!ALSO!WHO CARES?WE WERE MENT TO KILL!WERE MAN THERE PREY YOU WORTHLESS ANIMAL HUMPING CUNT!

[MrNadaname]

@jalopotan I think you forgot to turn off your caps lock... WRITING IN CAPS LOCK MAKES YOU SEEM LIKE A DESPERATE VIRGIN!!!! Get my point desperate virgin?

[ktwbtky]

Whales: *piss in our water *rape babies *steal from the elderly *killed JFK *cause Global Warming *create hurricanes *caused the Great Depression *killed Jesus *invented HIV/AIDS *sank the Titanic *brought crack to the ghetto *screwed my wifey

[Fruktfatfjes]

Nå er det nokk.. Stopp Hvalfangst i Norge! Vi er bedre en dette.

[Joacost]

Me like whale! Whale taste good! Whale feels good in my stomache! MMMmMM, whale!

Take that whale lovers! :D:D

It's time that America stop acting like it's the world police.

[ViNcEnT1988888]

Why they put him back into water ? 1:03

[to88he]

The whaling indystry in Norway is NOTHING like the whaling that Japan does. Mostly small wessels like the one you just seen in the video, nothing like the huge 150m long ships that japan uses. Whaling have long traditions in Norway and are a big part of the Norwegian culture. So we dont need some americans telling us what to do. There are qoutas of whaling and some whales are not allowed for hunting.

[AvenWho]

I am astounded by some of the ignorant comments on this post. Just because you CAN kill something doesn't mean you SHOULD. Whales help to keep the natural balance of the oceans by eating hundreds of fish a day. Also, acting like these animals are any less important than humans is absurd, these animals keep the balance while we continually try to destroy the balance. Yes, we will cry out against this because we care about this issue, you go ahead and care about the killing of humans issue.

[aosvaldo19]

@AvenWho You forget that acting like chickens and cows are less important than humans is also absurd. I am astounded by your ignorance because we're part of the natural balance just as whales are; consider humans at the top of the food chain. Whales eat tunas, people eat whales. If all the whales remained untouched, then there wouldn't be any tunas left.

so recap

1) you're dumb.

2) ALL the creatures of the earth are equal

3) we're ALL involved in the 'natural balance'

[huggotramp1]

@aosvaldo19 If I'm not mistaken the only animal that kills it's prey with the use of "tools" are man. I don't think we were intended to kill something ten times bigger than us living in the sea. Natural balance is important but even if whales could extinct the tunas I believe that man was neither supposed to nor should keep the whale polulation to the low quantity it is.

[TheCocoBach]

@huggotramp1 1. there are other animals that use tools to kill.

2. no one were intended to do anything, but we all still need to do something...so ...whales are food

3. natural balance is bullshit.

4. you are a fag.

[jalopotan]

@TheCocoBach agreed!

[jalopotan]

@huggotramp1 WHO...fucking CARES?ITS A DIFFERENT SPECIES!!!!

[jalopotan]

@aosvaldo19 yup.agreed 

[NJDEVIL91923]

@aosvaldo19 The Tuna population is dwindling because of over fishing.

Try again.

[jalopotan]

@AvenWho Who fucking cares man?Norway helps you in the army!WHAT DO THEY GET!?A FUCKING STEREOTYPE?BECAUSE OF 1 FLAW?

[Bigleg75]

This is false. Check out the number on the boat in the beginning and compare it to the one in the end.

[Maxine167]

Shame on you Norway. Please stop this horrific slaughter. The world is watching.

[Bigleg75]

@Maxine167 If the world is spending time watching us kill some seals while children die of hunger and men, woman and children is being bombed and killed then fuck the world!

[Killah184]

Hore sønner di som masse slakter dyr. HIRE SØNNER

[Odin1683]

All you butthurt Israelis do realize that the Norwegians who OPPOSE whaling are the same leftwing hippies who are most vehemently anti-Israel, whereas Norwegians who support whaling are generally conservative and pro-Israel?

By all means though, write those letters and feed the same forces that will undermine you every chance you have.

[kissrocknroll1]

@Odin1683

No?

most of the activists are Muslims

and Islam is far far away from activism

all they care is money

in Israel there is dozens of horses and donkeys being abused by arabs

and im not talkin about dogs cats

they don't respect nothing that is not islamic

[Bigleg75]

@kissrocknroll1 So what about the mistreatment of the palestinians? Thats okay or what? If you care more about a fucking donkey than a human being you can fuck of. Its children we are talking about here. The Israeli killed more than 600 defenseless palestinian children in Gaza. And you worry about the mink whale? You should be ashamed. Get your fucking priorities straight.

[consolationprizes1]

there is no such thing as human-'kind'. this should show people that how we kill animals is truly horrific. it doesn't matter if that whale had been harpooned before, it was still a death that caused an emense amount of pain and suffering. Norway should be ashamed.

[QuiZSnake]

Mmm, tasty whale! Too bad it had to suffer for so long though...

[missfruitplate]

While Norway gives out the Nobel Peace Prize, they don't seem to be able to show any compassion towards these whales. What a load of barbaric, backwards hypocrites!

[Bigleg75]

@missfruitplate Humans first. Whales are food.

[kissrocknroll1]

@Bigleg75

Whales are not food

Primitive bastard And Terrorist is not a human

[Bigleg75]

@kissrocknroll1 Whales has been hunted and eaten since Moses had short pants. Its very tasty meat. Try it with some nice red wine.

[AvenWho]

@Bigleg75 and what happens when you upset the natural balance of the oceans by killing off all of the whales? Please tell me you are not that ignorant to not understand the consequences.

[jalopotan]

@AvenWho I could see a dog,hamster a cat being abused...that shit is fucked up these people dont do that :[ the whales in Norway are like the cows in America!Japan eats whale and wastes it!Norway recycles almost all there recources and most likely uses all of the whale...I mean?Come on...there not abusing whales!TTHEY KILL THEM IN 1 second!THATS NOT ABUSE RETARD!its kill...its what we do to deer!FUCK YOU AMERICA!

[Iraqgenocide2]

@jalopotan you have proved 100% that there's millions of norwegians (like you) who are not only primitive, uneducated losers and destroyers, but also dangerous criminals. The Norwegian government is now recognized around the world as a terrorist government that should be isolated and sanctioned like North Korea.

[jalopotan]

@kissrocknroll1 Norwegians aren't primitive you asshole American war starting asshole!

[jalopotan]

@missfruitplate FUCK YOU AMERICAN WHALE LOVING AND HUMPING ASSHOLE!

[golbis]

BOYCOTT NORWAY

[Bigleg75]

@golbis Boycott Israel!

[BBOY356]

what cruelty this must be stoppped!!!!!

[SufatBrakim]

come on guys,,,this whale is much more dangerous than you think.

stop comaring it to the attempt of stoping the blockade which prevents the Hamas terror organiztation from getting ammunition.

it's not that Israel is being fired by rockets by the hamas, like these vicious whales do on Norwiegien cities.

[kissrocknroll1]

between To All Israel citizens don't forgot to write the letter the video uploader requested its important!

[kissrocknroll1]

funny they cry about terrorists killed in Gaza fake aid but they don't care their people killing innocent whales that's in extinction?

BOYCOTT NORWAY!

[Bigleg75]

@kissrocknroll1 So Israel can just keep their illegal blockade and execute activists on close range without any reaction and we cant hunt some whales? That really makes sense. The Israeli pirates killed 9 people in international waters. But thats okay as long as nobody kills a fucking whale. Laughable.

[jalopotan]

@kissrocknroll1 Oh of course a whale matters more than a human (sarcasm) if a whale was eating a child you wouldn't save it probably...I FUCKING WOULD

[Israel1948Yalla]

Idiots made in Norway.no more words to say.
