The massive killing of dolphins and whales takes place in the Faroe islands
annually since 10th centaury. The Faroe Islands are an island group situated
between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately ha
fway between Scotland and Iceland and belongs to the kingdom of Denmark.
Nearly 1,000s are killed annually during this festival as it is mandatory in their
culture to kill a dolphin or whale to initiate into adulthood. Any one can
participate in this festival. The hunts, called "grindadráp" in Faroese, are non-
commercial and are organized on a community level. The hunters first surround
these creatures with a wide semicircle of boats. The boats then drive them slowly
into a bay or to the bottom of a fjord. Then the islanders hammer a metal gaffs
into the flesh of each whale until the hooks hold. A knife is then used to slash
through the blubber and flesh to the spinal column. Next the main blood vessels
are severed.
Human beings became a threat to the existence of other creatures. Due to
pesticides , heavy metals , plastics, other industrial and agricultural
pollutants ,oil spill ,and collision with boats especially with their propellers
these poor creatures are struggling for survival.
Except human beings all other creatures of this planet live in accordance with
the laws of the Mother Nature .But we turned against her , in all aspects. We
ruined our beautiful planet , our homefor our selfish needs .This dolphin killing
festival is an obvious example of that.
How cruel it is to kill these innocent creatures to prove the adulthood of man!
This doesn’t prove the adulthood, instead it proves the madness of man. Why
can’t they sense the pain of these poor creatures? Who has granted them the right
to take the lives of these fellow creatures, just for an enjoyment? Though the
human population is increasing catastrophically ,people raise voice against
human abortion, a mere killing of few cells. But no one care about this massacre.
It is the stupidity of the man which made them believe that they are the rulers of
this planet.We are not privileged to do anything like this. I strongly believe that
the Mother Nature would no longer tolerate the deeds of human beings and her
wrath would destroy the entire mankind . The evidences are mounting and the
signs are looming .
