That looks like a map of Thy.

The hairstyle is a bit different today, but the technology is at the same level.

That does not make animals human.

And my behaviour is wired to you. Just like you are wired to me.

Because I don't conform to your vision of normal?

Ironic, because you can't tell the difference between a human and an animal.

For a minute I thought you might be reasonable, that's why I was willing to engage with you, but now I see that your see just more well spoken than the other commenters. We don't have to agree, but we can't have a dialog when you're just being argumentative and contrary.

I have never said that tradition as a reason for anything. Not here, nor ever. In fact, our traditions have all been continually modified to grow with our values. That's why they prevail. The ironic thing is that you compare me to conservative oppressors when you act exactly like an old bigot who is being confronted with values differing form their own.

I thought we were talking about one food source over another but then you go off about cruelty and torture. That's just ignorant.

And then now you're going to play the indigenous card? If you saw the barbarity why are there so many who still haven't? Are the just all savages?

Your are not better than your ancestors, brother. You were just colonized.

Yes.

I'm not starting over with you...

I take your point, and i also don't eat pork. Not because I know a pig, but because of the terrible conditions most pigs are farmed under, and because all pork is imported here.

For me, loving an animal before you kill it is a part of lift. When I was a child, we often took rejected lambs into the house to bottle feed them. They become pets and then they became supper.

And I'd much rather that then only know meat as something you collect at the super market. Even though it would be more comfortable, the disconnect between meat and living creatures that modern people have often sickens me. So I'd much rather eat your neighbours pig than a factory framed one.

My point thought, is that no one gets outraged, justifys harassing people and wished death upon their entire family and country for eating pigs. So in reality, it's not about intelligence and social behaviour. It's about your culture being right and everyone else being wrong.

Permanently Deleted

I haven't tasted chimpanzee but I doubt it's the same. I have tasted pig, which are also intelligent and social, and it tasted nothing like whale.

When your moral arguments only apply when they fit your world view. They mean nothing.

I can't speak on all inuit communities, but I know enough to know that you are ignorant.

I know that Greenlanders are allowed to hunt whales of varying degrees of endangerment with traditional tools in small numbers in order to preserve cultural heritage.

This is less sustainable and surely less humane than Faroese practices. Whether it's worth persevering the heritage is a completely different question.

The reason why SS target the Faroes is because if the gory images of slaughtering in the open combined with the general ignorance of the rest of the would on the topic.

There are many nations that do whaling, none of whom do it more humanely than the Faroes, yet only a few are harassed by SS, and none to the same degree.

Nothing is accurate about your content.

Not remotely accurate.

Well. I don't see anything inherently wrong in killing whales for food if it is done sustainability and humane. I much prefer it to wasteful battery farming.

Just try not to harass my children. There's no call for that.

Yes. It is fairly common for SS volunteers to settle on the Faroes after falling in love with the culture. They go to fight against barbarians who torment whales for fun and sport, but find kind hearted people who utilize an abundant food source in the most humaim way possible. Also there are other anti whaling-organisations whose members are civil.

There are three types of lies. The main ones are attacks on the Faroese people, how they enjoy blood sport, and torturing animas. These are aimed at everyone but men get a few special ones like how rape and spousal abuse is rampant on the Faroes. Secondly there are lies about the slaughter itself, how long it takes, how much suffering there is etc. And lastly there are factual lies. That pilot whales are on the brink of extinction and that the Faroes kill like 90% of them without eating the meat.

That not my call

I understand you fine.
