Concerning protest about catching of whales
The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs ...
The pictures are from catches, not of dolphins, but of pilot whales in the Faroe Islands. The pictures are very selective, and partly outdated. As you seem to be interested in the subject, you are advised to find more information about the Faroese pilot whale drive fishery on the homepage
www.whaling.fo. In Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on the internet, you may also find an article called “Whaling in the Faroe Islands”.
The facts which you will find include the following:
· The purpose of the catch is to produce food,
· The hunt is regulated by the authorities,
· The catch is biologically sustainable,
· The Faroese authorities are making continuous efforts to improve the killing methods.
[The Faroe Islands are an archipelago in the North East Atlantic. The economy of the islands is heavily dependent upon the sea and its living resources. The islands are an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Affairs regarding industry, agriculture, the environment, fishing and whaling, are subject to Faroese autonomy.
If you, after having acquainted yourself with the facts of the matter, should wish to address the Faroese authorities regarding pilot whaling, the relevant e-mail address of the Government of the Faroes is mfa@mfa.fo .
