I'm taking the liberty of having this last word: If the Faroe Islands are so horribly barren as you Faroese apologize/defend, that you (Faroese) cannot grow food in hothouses, cannot raise eggs, etc., and the (over)fishing that you're already doing still cannot support your people, then it is far better to leave that place (or redouble your efforts to grow vegetables in hothouse environments) than to continue killing these sentient, sapient, sovereign beings, just to survive. It's not 200 years ago anymore. Relocating would be easy enough to do... if it were actually a matter of survival. There is no good excuse for this... and the powerboats that drive hundreds and thousands to their deaths are NOT part of any tradition, even if tradition were to be given some special importance. (Slavery was a tradition, too.) It is time for the Faroese to end these horrible atrocities, the deaths they bring, and the shame they heap upon themselves by refusing to do so.

I often wonder where the prophetic voice can be heard in our time—who will call the world's attention to injustice so that we can better see what God sees, and feel what God feels. Thanks for being one of those voices Dean. I hope to join the chorus.

This behavior is easy to understand if you know history. Denmark has remained neutral in every conflict since the beginning of time. These people haven't got the guts to go hand to hand with another human being in a violent confrontation. So killing harmless animals in the most horrendous of ways in full public view of their fellow Danish citizens somehow proves to their kids that they have some backbone. Impotent Whimps one and all. I would say boycott Denmark but, what the hell do they manufacture? Pastry! Denmark has a higher standard of living than most countries in the world.

I cannot understand how damn they could do that, totally ignoring the voice against them? They don't seem like human beings. They are just barbarians. They are even worse than animals. Don't they know every animal including human beings has own values and purposes for each life? Shame on the people of the Faroe Islands and the government of Denmark. they sucks!

There's always room for hypocrisy yes. But even for meat eaters...these killings go against the natural law and balance of nature. We kill to survive, we kill to eat, we kill or be killed...these are all sufficient reasons. But when the killings are meant for reasons other than this then it's crossing the line. Brutally torturing or mistreatment of cattle, chicken and the like when they are all doomed for death anyway as our food are also unnecessary acts. We as humans have the power to stop such unnecessary cruelty...starting with animals. If we can stop this mistreatment and teach our future generations that it's not okay to act this way towards any living being...perhaps one day we can also learn to respect each other more...and then there will be no reason for war...I know this will never happen and this is just a fantasy. It just feels good to hope for the best in humanity. Starting with the smaller things always helps with the bigger picture. :) Have you ever heard of vegetarianism? or organic food? or buying products like say from The Body Shop who claim to be against animal testing and all for fair trade?

I may be one of those human who feels more sympathy towards animal beings than I do towards our own (which according to you means I have BPD, is that another one of those mental disorders we humans came up with?)...but that's only because my own species lack in love, innocence and respect for each other, our planet and our fellow beings. Just take a look around you. Now people like JT are the ones who have their heads on straight, because with people like him around we may actually have a future to look forward to. and JT you forgot to list “Moron” of which the category people like Drew fall under.
