Killing Dolphins for Pleasure in Denmark

I found this cruel event so deeply disturbing, it took two days before I was able to publish this article. Thank you to Ineke G. for bringing this to our attention and for providing the information contained within.

In Denmark, there is an annual event so horrifically savage and cruel, it is beyond comprehension. On Feroe Island, it has become an act of celebration to kill the Calderon dolphins that reach their shores. These gentle dolphins are very friendly and swim towards humans in an act of pure friendship. They are greeted with unconscionable cruelty. Young men celebrating coming of age prove their manhood by viciously slaughtering the dolphins.

The killers are cheered as they savagely beat them with thick hooks and listen as the creatures cry in pain and die a slow, miserable death. It is said that the cries of these dolphins sound very much like the cries of an infant. As the dolphins suffer, there is no sympathy and the people revel as the beautiful creatures drown in their own blood.

What You Can Do

Please help us stop this senseless massacre by these heartless citizens of Denmark. Please take a moment to write a letter of protest to the Crown Prince & Princess and ask them to stop the cruelty on their shores.

We also encourage you to contact the Danish ambassador to your country to urge him or her to speak out against killing whales. You can find contact information at http://www.embassyworld.com.

********

Another great way to alert people to cases of cruelty to animals is to send letters to the editors of local newspapers and magazines. One letter from you can educate thousands of readers at once!

********

Also, please send this site address to your friends and ask them to do the same. The more letters they receive, the more likely they will do something about it.

Thank you so much for caring.

The following photographs are very disturbing. If you are highly sensitive to graphic scenes of animal cruelty, please reconsider viewing the images.

It's quite disturbing to see the woman, above, holding the hand of a young girl as they calmly watch the massacre.

Please, please help us get the message out..
