just for future reference since this shit is hitting europe over the next few days and my newsfeed will blow the shit up. i am writing this and asking if some of you can confirm me:
can you find the species "calderon dolphin" somewhere else or is it a legit name for pilot whales? i mean its definitely pilot whales who are not near extinction, but i googled "calderon dolphin" and while the wiki article pops up, the term is not in there and all other results deal with the "slaughtering".
it has nothing to with some sort of initiation rite. they actually use the animals for food and other stuff.
the whales are killed as fast as possible using a sharp knife .
so while i overall agree that its unnecessary in this day and age to kill the whales, the "article" makes false statements regarding the species and its extinction status. it furthermore states wrongfully that the animals are killed for fun and during an initiation act. and they are killed as fast as possible. the language of the article is clearly meant to raise emotion covering the obvious misuse of facts. "cry like a newborn child" and "they are playfully nosy and just want to play and interact with humans" are phrases with no actual meaning and are just intended to brainwash easy minds. AGAIN, i would appreciate if the faröer (another misused fact, they are literally independent in these issues) would stop it, but i cant blame them for doing it nor do i think it is as bad as people want it to be. to me, this is all about hypocrisis and trying to provoke emotion with false facts.
