I'm in love.

Since no one has ever shown any rational reason to regard whales as having a different moral status from any other food animal the belief that they do is thus religious in nature and no one has the right to enforce their religious beliefs on anyone else.

Whales have "moral status"? Only people and their actions have morality.

Muslims and Jews don't have the right to stop others from eating pigs. Hindus cent stop you from eating beef. Vegans don't have the right to force others to observe their dietary practices &.

If a person were to try slaughtering a pig in the city centre with an axe, would they be stopped?

I guess I have a better understanding of human rights than you do.

You have little understanding of anything. Human rights are mutable and open to change.

The Faroese, Islanders, Greenlanders, And Norwegians have no laws against killing non-endangered pilot and minke whales.

"The 1814 Treaty of Kiel granted Denmark control over the islands, along with two other Norwegian regions: Greenland and Iceland. The Faroe Islands have been a self-governing country within the Danish Realm since 1948. The Faroese have control of most domestic matters; areas that remain the responsibility of Denmark include military defence, police, justice, currency and foreign affairs"

Denmark is a signatory of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling.

Killing those whales I show they make a living.

Gibberish.

And no one else has the right to make such laws for them.

Really? you don't half talk shite Aspy.

Animal rights groups are merely western Taliban.

And your quote proves that there is no law against whaling. That would violate the sovereignty of the Faroe island. You've heard of sovereignty haven't you?

Oh?

A. Marine Mammal Protection Act
n 1972, the United States Congress passed the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). The Act makes it illegal for any person residing in the United States to kill, hunt, injure or harass all species of marine mammals, regardless of their population status. In addition, the MMPA also makes it illegal for anyone to import marine mammals or products made from them into the United States.

A Faroese citizen can choose between holding a non-EU Danish-Faroese passport which is green and modeled on the pre-EU Danish passport OR they can choose to hold a maroon regular Danish passport that makes them citizens of the EU and thus they have the full benefits of EU citizenship.

If a resident of the Faroes chooses to hold a maroon Danish passport, they cannot also have the green Faroese passport. This makes them Danish citizens although they can remain Faroese residents. A Faroese resident cannot work in Europe unless they maintain an address in Denmark although this is relatively simple to do. This means that people who can legally travel freely and work in Europe and who participate in the Grind may be in violation of European Union law. There are also no restrictions for Danish citizens to live and work in the Faroes.

The Faroese, although considering themselves independent, do not have control over the administration of justice including the courts of law, the police, the prison and probation services. Nor do they have control over the law of legal capacity, family law and succession law. They also do not have control over border controls, financial regulation and supervision. And they have no control over aviation. All court proceedings are in Danish. Faroese citizens may be members of the police but they must attend the Danish Police Academy and they are officially Danish police, not Faroese police.

All of these things are controlled by Denmark.

You've heard of sovereignty haven't you?

Yes indeed, the Danish are very proud sovereign nation .

It is clear that this is a Danish whale slaughter and the focus must be on Denmark. Denmark has the power to end this horrifically cruel archaic tradition and the first thing the Danish police in the Faroe Islands should be told to do is to check the passports of all the whale killers and any maroon carrying Danish passport holder should be charged for violating the conservation laws of the European Union

Fail. Poor baby.

Well let me mention this ,do they not eat the sheep? I have been around animals all my life and let me tell you I grew sickened at the slaughter,I have participated in many "butcherings " but have never pulled the trigger or wielded the knife that slit the throat of the stunned pig ,I take absolutely no pleasure in the extinction of another creatures life.The piteous squealing of the Hogs being killed ,showed that it was neither fast or merciful.Finally I could stomach it no more ,I declined to participate in the slaughter .
Anybody who makes light of this hellish business ,should read "The Jungle " by Upton Sinclair(the stockyards at Baltimore were pretty bad too ).
But take heart lovers of the animal world,Chickenless Chicken should be on the market in a couple of years ,with other types of meat soon to follow (shades of "Chicken Little " ) if it tastes alright ,thats what I have to go for,my metabolism is so screwed up I cant get along on a plant diet(have tried a couple of times and it just doesnt work for me)I try not to be a cannibal or carnivore glutton though.
