The hunts, also called grindadráp (or grinds) are community-based events which are protected by the local police and the Danish Navy. Even Grindaformenn, or the men in charge of organizing the hunt are allowed to remove interlopers. On Saturday, activists’ attempts at stopping the hunt had failed. Read the rest here 22:23
NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?
While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.

Go vegan!
As someone versed in the growth of vegetation, Rich, you must be aware that the Faroe Islands are not an agricultural mecca. They eat from the sea.
The Faroe Islanders can’t by grains and vegetables?
Why should they have to? Because you don’t approve of what they’ve eaten for hundreds of years? Makes real sense to eat something that requires copious amounts of fresh water to grow, instead of harvesting a sustainable natural resource that requires no fresh water to grow.
they eat from the sea? that must be why so much of the kill gets disguarded, they claim its a ritual,load of bollocks, the toxins that is in this sustainable natural resource is not acceptable in todays food industry. if what is in it is printed on a packet it would not be legal to sell. how much of this product is exported? none.why? because nobody wants it. nowt but a bunch of bloodthirsy inbreds who dont know any better.
Do you always ask yourself questions and answer them? Thanks for your ignorant comment!~
Kari is correct. Other nations that are next to a sea don’t kill whales. The grindadráp is killing for sport. The sooner it ends the better.
Its not for sport. Its substainence harvesting, Like Inuit’s and seals. Something we have to cull.
I’m sick and tired of all of these “do gooders” telling people how to conduct their lives. From Sir Paul not liking the seal hunt in Newfoundland to all of the card carrying PETA tards. Get a job and leave these people who are doing what they have done for thousands of years alone.
Go vegan?…. Right…..Kiss my meat eating fur wearing ass
