DENMARK: WHAT A SHAME, A SAD SCENE. THIS MAIL HAS TO BE CIRCULATED. THERE IS NO WORSE BEAST THAN MAN!!!!
While it may seem incredible, even today this custom continues, in Dantesque, - in the Faroe Islands, ( Denmark ) . A country supposedly civilized and an EU country at that. For many people this attack to life is unknown– a custom to show entering adulthood. It is absolutely atrocious. No one does anything to prevent this barbarism being committed against the Calderon, an intelligent dolphin that is placid and approaches humans out of friendliness.
They also question as to why the European Union is quiet about this and why green peace is not involved to take any positive action as when they do gung ho(ly) in other uncivilized situations.
note from livejelly:
Are there excessive number of these creatures that take away from the balance or is this purely a sport? Is there not a difference between killing off rabid dogs that may kill mercilessly & peaceful dolphins who do not harm?
some are calling them dolphins & some whales...we do not know for sure
have to look into it. But we think it is both whales & dolphins who are targeted. and it seems it has nothing to do with a balance but of an act that they do.

Canada kills about 300,000 seals annually off its east coast. It is the biggest such hunt in the world.
In the EU, seal-hunting is practised in Sweden, Finland, the Danish territory of Greenland and in the UK.
Mr Dimas said he hoped the ban would take effect before Canada's 2009 hunting season. He said his office received thousands of demands for a ban - mostly from campaigners in the UK, the US and Canada.
Anti-hunt campaigners say some seals are skinned while still conscious. Hunters typically shoot the seals with rifles or bludgeon them to death with spiked clubs. The animals' pelts, fat and meat are traded.
Canada's Fisheries Minister Loyola Hearn insisted on Wednesday that Canada has "a humanely conducted hunt".
The EU ban - not yet approved by the European Parliament and EU ministers - would not apply to Canada's Arctic Inuit community. The European Commission has proposed that the EU ban all trade in seal products from... more
