other day I was by my friend Wolf (he runs the network Save-the- natural look, but you the time to and there shall ye member) of a terrible, bloody ritual made aware that at all, anger that is of environmental and animal rights activists poured continuously over the walmordenden Japanese, threatens to be overlooked. While large organizations like Sea Shepherd proceed partly massively against the whaling fleet of Japan, risking life and limb, is the fate that whales and dolphins in the Faroe Islands suffer almost under the flood of coverage of the attacks by environmentalists on Japanese whalers. These take place under the name WhaleWars Whilst broad, but also shocked the audience!
plays nearly in on our own doorstep, in the Faroe Islands, which belong to Denmark, year after year several times a measure field to the intelligent marine mammals from which one's blood freezes in your veins when you look at the pictures. The whole is justified by the fact that it nunmal "tradition" and that it therefore just considered in the Faroe Islands as its traditional right to murder with extreme cruelty, a host of whales and dolphins.
Here added the meat because of its extremely high pollution levels actually the status of hazardous waste, so it can not, of whatever kind, nutritional needs satisfied! So nothing is done here, as the machismo indulged in a patriarchal society. Murder for the sake of murder and nothing else, it goes here! Of course, one could eliminate so-called traditions that no longer fit into this long-time substitute, and forgotten. But one would have to do. Difficult in a country that abolished one of the last discrimination against homosexuality and began slowly than accept what it is - something human, nothing that we condemn as a deviant and would have to fight.
How long is the unnecessary deaths continue? When is the reason feeder holds in the minds and the understanding that man is actually an adaptive being, or at least should be! But there are also in our region still enough people - mostly men - who think they would do with the hunting of deer and wild boars of the environmental good or even protect nature!
In some of the people is already penetrated the insight that we obviously are not the only creatures who are capable of social action and comprehensive communication that can be consciously and selflessly sick or injured other dogs and sometimes even alien creatures bestowed their help.
whales and dolphins have a much higher intelligence than previously thought and should thus might well have better cognitive abilities of the lie, as some half-educated man can this! They seem to develop a self-awareness can and are even able to organize complex societies. Of course this is disputed by countries such as Japan, Iceland and Norway also violent. The claim that this is because that of all these states also have the largest whaling fleets of the world, of course, is just a bad rumor!
demanded Therefore participants of a conference at the University of Helsinki 21st - 22 May 2010, the recognition of the right to life and freedom for whales. That would be a real revolution, and virtually every stop the whaling would lead! Over a long overdue development! For these intelligent beings may no longer be considered as a resource for Gewinnbetrebungen of corporations, they are creatures who have just as men have a right to integrity, although this is not even a reality for all people!
