we fight all the time the overwelming ignorance of the action of the human ideas..we wonder why we have such a mess in the world …this is why!!!!! we are suppose to grow and learn…why would this be allow to happen ???? ..we agrue with japan for hunting whales ..canada who beat seals to death for the hides …what is going on in the mind of the people to permit this !!!.. the ones who are part of this will have to deal with the back lash of such behavior …there is a special place in hell for those who torment innocent beings …

Here is an alternative in proving the Danish males manhood. Put them into a cage with a lion, tiger or any hungry animal and if they survive then they can boast to the Royal Family, the government and their mates that they are a man. If not,, with all of the abuse that women now experience at the hands of those males that use the massacre of dolphins for the “passage”, the annual 2500 females/girlfriends that seek protection from Danish men will decrease enourmously. And the dolphins will live a much longer life.

This is horrifying. When will brutality and killing any life form – as a way of demonstrating masculinity – become extinct practices? There are so many ways to be masculine in the world, proving one’s self this way is needless and horrible.

In a world where non-human species are disappearing at an unprecedented rate this is unconscionable.

1. I am completely against this senseless massacre.
2. I am also against knee-jerk reactions that spread like wildfire through the Internet, without due care.
3. This posting closely resembles an email I received recently, which was so riddled with grammatical and factual errors that I did some research to clarify things. Check out my blog, and you’ll see what I mean.

Even alot of the comments posted here contain errors. Don’t misunderstand me – I am very much against this outdated custom. But I warn those who attempt to change the Faroese mindset: it’s a total waste of time swearing and cursing etc. You need a considered approach, perhaps offering solutions, showing a mature understanding of their situation (not AGREEING with them at all – just being aware of their traditions and their thinking). Generate a global groundswell with reason, clarity, purpose, calmness.
Write to the Faroes Government, NOT the Danish one (it’s not the Danes’ issue, it’s the Faroes’ killings). Aggression will only run off their backs and entrench their behaviour (they are after all descended from Vikings!!).
Good luck…read my blog and you’ll see what I mean.

This practice is inhumane, what are these people thinking. Dolphins are one of the most gentle creatures on earth and they have as much of a right to life as we do.

hello, im going to get a internet smakc over this BUT i have some wuestions about this.

One, what is a calderon dolphin? I’ve looked it up to try and find out exactly, what kind of dolphin it is, but i only find articles about the slaughter of these sol called dolphins, which are actually called long-finned Pilot Whales, and are not doplhins at all and are not even endagered, neing one fo the most comon whales.

Another thing is that you have wrong is the idea about the killing of the animals. It is about food, not a right of passage. The Faroe Islands are a rocky place where they cannot grow much food and have to rely on what they can get from teh ocean, which is the animals.

This hunting is also closly regulated, here is a site you can look at for more information. enjoy, there are no graphic images on here http://www.whaling.fo/Default.aspx?ID=6840

I very much hope that this practice is stopped right away. These dolphins are endangered, intelligent and they are being tortured. There are better ways to initate adulthood. Let traditions like this die out and replace them with something more respectful. How can all those spectators stand there and watch? How can this be legal. I thought by the year 2010 the world would be more civilized than this. And Denmark, a country I respected. I do not have enought adjectives in my vocabulary to adequately explain the inhumanity of this dolphin cull.
