Faroe Island Denmark Whale Slaughter Culture

I received an email today entitled: 'Denmark is a big shame' and it contained graphic photographs of a whale slaughter in the autonomous Faroe Islands of Denmark. Before going any further I will state that both the story and the photographs are genuine.

I include only the first photo so that you can get some idea of what it might have been like. (The rest can be found on the website mentioned.) Under the photograph is the spiel that is requested to be sent around the world to stop this slaughter of whales.

Denmark is a big shame.

The sea is stained in red and it's not because of the climate effects of nature.

It's because of the cruelty that the human beings (civilised human) kill hundreds of the famous and intelligent Calderon dolphins. This happens every year in Feroe iland in Denmark . In this slaughter the main participants are young teens. WHY? To show that they are adults and mature...

In this big celebration, nothing is missing for the fun. Everyone is participating in one way or the other, killing or looking at the cruelty "supporting like a spectator". Is it necessary to mention that the dolphin calderon, like all the other species of dolphins, it's near instinction and they get near men to play and interact. In a way of PURE friendship

They don't die instantly; they are cut 1, 2 or 3 times with thick hocks. And at that time the dolphins produce a grim extremely compatible with the cry of a new born child. But he suffers and there's no compassion till this sweet being slowly dies in its own blood

Its enough! We will send this mail until this email arrives in any association defending the animals, we won't only read. Take care of the world, it is your home!

I did a check at www.hoax-slayer.com and found that the story is true, and I include here just one paragraph from that article:

• These whale kills have occurred in the Faroe Islands for hundreds of years and are considered by Islanders to be an important part of their social culture. It is generally only Faroese men who take part in the killings while female islanders look on. The whale hunts have caused international outrage and have been roundly condemned as unnecessary and barbaric by conservation and animal rights groups around the world. However, Faroe Islanders vigorously defend their right to engage in the hunts.

Should this behaviour be stopped?

Personally I agree with the people of the Faroe Islands when they tell the rest of the world to go take a jump off the nearest cliff.

Why?

Because the call itself is hypocritical!

Because I wrote in the article entitled: Human Rights and Social Engineering

• But when the 'rights' of ideologues, social engineers and political activists start impinging on our personal and traditional identity; which is to say, 'our national culture', then it is time to sit back and say 'enough!

Because

• When it comes to the issue of culture and multiculture, we like to believe that we are in fact accepting of the 'other'. But the elites and the powers that be, have often already taken the surgeon's knife to those foreign cultures even before their carriers arrive. (Multiculturalism The Loss of Culture)

Because:

• Those who would punish us for not accepting 'foreign culture', are the very ones who first determine what of that 'foreign culture' is acceptable. And that my friends is hypocritical, for it demonstrates that the politically correct who want to control our thoughts and actions, have already made sure that their own 'personal' objections to minority culture have been excised. (Competing Agendas vs Multiculturalism)

Because:

• I stated in Western Socialisation Versus Life in China Pt. 2 that there are ways of thinking, acting and living in some foreign cultures that you as an individual might not find appropriate. In this I was not talking about things like circumcision or having 4 wives, but quite ordinary things which are unacceptable in our own societies.(Multiculturalism The Loss of Culture)

Because:

• Political Correctness Ideology, whilst presenting itself as very humanistic; very altruistic; is first and foremost about 'schoolyard bullies' pushing people around. They don't care who they hurt. They don't care what disruption they bring to the lives of those around them. They are concerned only with 'self-pleasuring'. They care only about what makes them 'feel good'.

Because being non-discriminatory; embracing all humanity; being multicultural, means accepting those things in other cultures that don't fit within our own personal or national self-identity.

When you tell me that I have to change my culture to fit in with yours, It's time to tell you to go to hell! (Immigrants should remember this too!)

Culture is Culture! Like it or Leave it! Ban it in your own country if you wish! But you have no right to tell people in their own countries what is acceptable or unacceptable in their culture.

As the old adage goes: 'You can't have your cake and eat it too!'

If you believe in Multiculturalism, then stop being a hypocrite and stop telling other cultures what to do!

Oh! I do apologise! That was rather redundant wasn't it. There is nothing but Hypocrisy in Multiculturalism. Go on then! Have your cake and eat it too!
