Those animals are known as the "cockroaches of the sea" and eat ten thousand times their weight in fish per year.

>>16797552
Say that to my face bitch boy

>>16797555
checked, those are known as the "gang rapists of the sea"

>>16797548
pretty sure life is pretty rough and the economy precarious on the faroe islands

Whale is the only meat I’ve ever tried which I simply don’t like.
I’ve tried it as sashimi, yakiniku, sukiyaki, tempura, and in soup.
Wife is Japanese. She doesn’t like it either. Her mom loves it though.

>>16797572
Think again. They are well of, and tourism is a huge thing there. They even have a one star Michelin restaurant there.

>>16797548
>mfw when pampered snowflake urbanites cry because whales get harvested for meat

>>16797552
I know people who understand game and fish management and why some populations are hunted or fished to control numbers but will lose their shit about whale hunting.
Don't know the situation in Japland and other places but in the case of the Faroe Islands it's a carefully controlled and monitored tradition.
Beyond that, the argument devolves into, "yeah but it's yucky" and I don't think that's a conversation worth having at that point.

>>16797582
you clearly have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and couldn't be more wrong. who gives a shit if theres a michelin restaurant? literally almost everyone that lives there is a fisherman or involved with fishing in some capacity

>>16797593
If it was for necessarily reasons, I would have no problem, either.
But when a wealthy country hunt down thousand of innocent animals for pleasure and traditions I think it's past due.
but you do you.

What? I feel the people of Faroe are just serving a greater porpoise.

>>16797604
Oh, so those baddie little whales steal our income. We better slaughter them. Right.

>>16797620
who gives a shit either way? they've been slaughtering whales in the faroes since before columbus even discovered america

>>16797616
Youthful porpoise anon

>>16797652
You seem somewhat retarded, so let me please explain. Of course people have killed animal throughout history ( in this case fish, whales) for food and survival.
But in case you missed it, this is 2021, we can do better. No one (NOONE) on the Faroe Island would suffer if they stopped killing those whales.
A Michelin reasurant means there is wealth, both from locals and tourists.

>>16797690
So the fishermen, directly impacted by the whale population, wouldn't suffer financially at all by a whale population boom?
There is wealth in the Faroe Islands because fishing is 90% of their export market, anon.

>>16797607
The Faroe islands is NOT a "wealthy country". Those people survive on fish, whales, and birds, all gathered from the sea. They are a sovereign nation that has the right to do what the fuck they want to with their waters, including harvesting whales.

Fuck off with your bigotry.

>>16797690
>A Michelin reasurant means
...some asshole did somebody a favor in a vain effort to gain tourist money.

>>16797703
Oh, I get the wealth from fishing, alright. But I'm pretty sure it would be the same not killing a thousand whales.
>>16797707
you're funny (and stupid)

>>16797548
>sea sheppard scum gets pwned
LOL!

>>16797728
And you're bigoted urbanite pussy. Fuck you.

>>16797728
Anon, the whales eat the fish.
You're asking them to not only eliminate food provided by the whales, but also let that deficit literally eat up their other food source
I understand your stance but you're not approaching this realistically.
Thankfully they have a Michelin restaurant so they can all eat there after they lose their jobs.

>>16797548
>tfw I'll never have a qt redhead whale huntress wife
Why even live?

>>16797753
When did Faroe start to make serious money? Heavy fishing boats and tourism.
I'm not asking to eliminate fishing, again
Not killing a few whales wouldn't harm sales, I'm sure.
But hey you do you

>>16797776
They don't make serious money and you're ignoring my point that killing the whales protects the population of their fisheries.
Population control is one of the most basic tenets of conservation.

To put it simply, less whales, more fish.
So not killing those whales WOULD harm sales.
I'm not going to fault you because I don't think you're coming to this with any sort of malice.
However, you have a fundamental lack of understanding in nearly every aspect of the Faroese supply chain.

their meat must smell like seaweed

>>16797818
Are you telling me Faroe hasn't seen a rise of BNP or living standard the last 10 years or so?
The ocean is full of fish, I doubt a few whales could alter that.
But yes, no malice from here, just questions and wondering

>>16797602
According to Japanese numbers they've returned to preendangerment levels. Whether that's true or not will probably never be known to us since the western world is to emotionally invested to acknowledge it if it is.

>>16797776
You'd come off as less retarded if you actual thought about what he was saying instead of just repeating a long winded version of "nuh uh because feelz"

If they die, they die

>>16797849
wow, 'according'. You like that word, don't you?
In my book, you're just a silly boy.

>>16797835
I'm not saying that. They have done better through more responsible financial management but that initial wealth still has to come from industry.
I understand that the ocean is full of fish, but treating the ocean as a homogeneous fishery isn't realistic.
The industry is localized because you can't send Faroese fishing vessels thousands and thousands of miles out to fish.
The whales are local to the fishery that provides the fish they can catch.
Say they kill 700 pilot whales in a year.
An adult pilot whale eats around 30 pounds of fish a day.
That's about 7.6 million pounds of fish taken by whales in a single year without Grindadráp to supplement the loss on top of that.
Ultimately we can sit here and go back and forth about it, but it is still a sovereign nation and neither I, nor you, can change that.

>>16797883
The fuck are you on about?

>>16797891
As the gentleman I am. Thank you for letting me know your stands.I just wish.. never mind.
Hows the brain food up there?

>>16797548
>1500 whales that are used for multiple products and are not in any danger of extinction and will be used to feed the 50K population of the island for a whole year
let me guess, we should be angry because there's blood? never been to a slaughter house?

>>16797998
Uhm. not. Apparently they eat to much fishies, so the sailormen can't make enough money.

>>16797707
but they have a michelin restaurant LOL. not saying it's not a beautiful place to visit in its own way, but there's basically nothing in the faroes except commercial fishing infrastructure

>>16798007
Food>finance. Fuck the fishermen the people need to eat

>>16798017
I believe it's quite scenery, when not foggy.

>>16798007
ummm yes, they use the animals for multiple purposes just like they have been doing since forever, this didn't start last year, they also hunt seals btw. I know you watched some american liberal documentary who said the right buzzwords that triggered your american sense of being offended in behalf of other animals/things, and here you are spouting bullshit about some small island in the fucking top of the world while you defend glorious japan and china who fish anything that moves in the sea.

>>16797607
hang yourself

But what are their women like? It appears they are pretty right-wing. I wonder if they'll let an american like me move in...

>>16798007
>being this butt blasted

Jesus, Mary and Joseph lad it's time to stop

>>16798043
Leave your devil worshiping out of this.

>>16798038
This.

>>16798081
Born faggot, or just something need to ride along?

>>16797607
This anon gets to decide what right, and wrong is for everyone.
>doing thing is wrong unless your bipoc, and poor reeeee

>>16798095
>some little pussy urbanite faggot whiteknighting for whales trying to call somebody else a faggot

>>16797548
faroes mentioned!


don't know what you guys are talking about in this thread, no one has ever used fish population as a defense for whaling, we just do it for meat and blubber.

>>16799943

Is this kind of whale meat even eadible, not contaminated with heavy metals and other shit from the marine food chain ?

>>16797998
The meat is laden with mercury though. They may use byproducts but they certainly don't need to eat the meat.

>Tldr: it's not a rite of passage, tradition or festival. It's free food for a people that have eaten what the ocean provides for a thousand years. The whales experience no more pain or stress than the beef and pork in your local supermarket does

>>16799961
it is, but medical authorities recommend not to eat more than one meal a month. Children and pregnant women should not eat it.

>>16797607
>Faggotry the post

If wales are so intelligent why do they beach themselves in the same place every year in front of people with giant knives? Would love a taste.

>>16797607
>Innocent animals
Faggot, God made them for us, i can do whatever i want with them

>>16797753
whales eat fish around the whole planet's oceans, its humans who shouldnt be living in that island
we dont have the right to live anywhere we want

>>16797607
I'm for one is going to give you a real response.

>for pleasure and traditions

They eat the whales, retard.

>>16797690
So your argument is for veganism, not specific for whales.

>>16797835
>The ocean is full of fish, I doubt a few whales could alter that.
Are you a marine biologist or are you just pulling that out of your ass? If they stopped now, maybe nothing would happen in many years, but suddenly the whale population has exploded and there's much less fish.

>>16797849
>According to Japanese numbers they've returned to preendangerment levels.
There are many endangered whale species, but they aren't being hunted. The ones being hunted are healthy populations.
