First off, folk's - we aint killing the Pilot Whales for fun - we harvest the whale for food. And second - it's senceless telling other nations what NOT to do, when you at the same time call them brainless and heartless. Do you folk's also think, that a farmer that kills a pig - is a shameless, brainless and heartless bastard ..?
We are talking about harvesting food and we have done so for a 1000 year - and we will continue doing so. And we aint killing the Pilot Whales in the most cruel way, Nelly Van Beek - we're harvesting the Pilot Whales in the most humane way (it only takes 2 seconds for the whale to die - and this we do, because we care for the Pilot Whale). There are about 1,4 million Pilot Whales swiming in the ocean and we harvest about 800 a year (sometimes much less than that) and faroese people are nature folk - and thus we live on what nature provides us.
Almost every tourist that visits Faroe Islands - find what we do very understandable and we faroese people are always welcome & polite. It's kinda our motto in life. We will for sure - not agree on a number og things, but knowing the fact's we live by and also knowing what is right or what is wrong - is also somewhat we believe in. We generally think it's WRONG - that a organisation as Sea Shepherd tries to make a living from us - coming to OUR country and telling us, that we are heartless, brainless & shameless bastards that harvest sustainable Pilot Whales and I really don't think, that Paul Watson is going to win this argument - because WE know the truth and we live by it. This is the nicest I get - from here all HELL is going to break loose!
That being said - I hope that you also concider, that we DO care for the ocean and like Watson himself - we also hope that he dosen't send more Rustbucket's to the Faroe Islands next - for the oil spill from Sea Shepherd old ships aren't that good for the ocean. Also it ain't good when Sea Shepherd supporters drive their speeding-boats upon the Pilot Whales and basically SCREWS the whales - when we are in the middle of a Pilot Whale harvest.
Write what you like - but know this: Sea Shepherd did NOT save any Pilot Whale in the year 2015 and they won't save any Pilot Whale in 2016. Now - that is just a matter of fact and the truth hurt's like Hell sometimes - but that is just the way it is, folk's. Sending more minions to the Faroe Islands is just "good stuff" for us - because then we have something to laugh about and also the faroese police need the money. And I (myself) will continue to write jokes about Sea Shepherd and all of the faroese people are going to have a laugh about it too.
And just so you know - the Danish people are behind us in this one and they won't give in for the spam-mails Sea Shepherd supporters send to them. And know this: Faroe Islands isn't a part of EU and yes, Denmark and Faroe Islands ain't the same and we have our own LAWS. So deal with it, folk's!
Telling people - that you just care for the ocean and that you don't do it for the money - is a laugh and ½. Of all the scams they make and people believing that shit - isn't a thing, that makes me laugh. It makes me sick and sad at the same time. Here we have a Tyrant that makes money from stupid peoples (with no jugdement) and that will follow his word, because this a**hole would'nt lie, right ..? WRONG - everything he says is basically a LIE and you can't really argue with a guy - that thinks as highly of himself - as Watson truly does. He believes in his own LIES and has a group of idiots doing his dirty work in Japan and Faroe Islands, so he can get even more money in his big moneypocket.
Look at me go - Nah, I won't say anything more about your leader ... for now. But I do want to point out, that Paul Watson HATE for Faroe Islands - maybe is because his grandmother (from Hvalba*) was from Faroe Islands and she also got deported from this island, because she was a nutjob (this I have been told - but I don't have the fact's ... yet). And did you know - that Paul's grandfather Otto Larsen - was from Denmark ..? These are important fact's - because only when the truth goes marching on - we will WIN, right ..?
And I challege Paul Watson for an open debate - but I am quiet sure, that he is not going to accept this - because the one thing Paul is afraid of - is in my heart and that is the TRUTH ..!
