I have seen some horrible things in my life but this is truly barbaric, makes me ashamed to be human.

I totally agree. It's ironic that the poster is Chinese - a country where they harvest sea horses by the billion for unproven quack remedies, and commit many other horrific and barbarous practices. Still, at least it proves they aren't all the same.
I've read about this Danish "harvest" before, and was as appalled as you are, Laguna. All in the name of "tradition" in a coming of age ritual.
I honestly can't believe that I'm part of the same race.

That is appalling.
I have been to Denmark many times, yet I have never heard of this event - unsurprisingly.
hat could possibly be the point of such unadulterated cruelty?

To kill these animals for food or is bad enough but for a right of passage is obscene.
I'm putting their bacon on the boycott list.

Ironic indeed Rob and as you say; they aren't all the same there is some good to be found amongst all races.. (if you look hard enough)
What can we do but help spread the awareness, I've never seen anything like it, these mammals are peace loving creatures and they are being mercilessly chopped up and bloody butchered and for what? - I somehow doubt not buying any more of their bacon will make little difference but its something!

So there goes some of our number's recent, retired to Thailand and the Deliverance backwoods, Big Idea and imminent Dragon's Den pitch for Otter Scratchings.

What other people do in their own country is their business. I see a programme the other night where the know all conservationist are stopping the Inuit from hunting for their food. If what goes on was having any effect on the population the prey would not still come back to be killed year after year.

You do talk some balderdash tiinker. Nobody here would argue against eskimos taking a wild animal for food especially where food is scarce.
If you are insensitive to such barbaric acts of butchery, you have no compassion or concern for animals in general irrespective of how they are killed or by whom, and as for the population of dolphins they are too trusting for their own good where humans are concerned.

Ah, but they can't learn and pass on much if they're dead.
Rubbish it has been going on since time began and it has been in the limelight many times before people are just jumping on the hand ringers band wagon. This particular subject is doing the rounds at the moment it is on all the social sites. Will it make any difference in the long run NO. Perhaps you should spare a thought for the way humanity is not caring for humanity and the cruelty involved.

Are campanologists conservationists too? :wh

Hmmm. Clearly that makes this practice acceptable and OK?
Let's all grab a rip hook and set about the nearest mammal to hand.
Nonsensical poppycock trying to justify utter barbarism.
I think there are a few errors in the reporting of this event such as location and animal species. You might find information closer to fact here.

Don't know how much the mainland Danes would support this practice, which is carried on in the Faroe Islands. The islands are under Danish sovereignty, however the Faroes are now pretty much autonomous so the link naming the slaughter as being Danish is very misleading.

The direct Danish link is indeed misleading, but it does not detract from the barbarism.
