That depends on how much of it you eat though but yeah it's not good to eat it.
The amount they hunt is about 0.1% of the population so it is sustainable but there's really no reason to do it anymore except for cultural reasons and that's not worth it.

Some weeks ago an italian show that makes all these controversial reportages went up there to interview local people(who get all kind of mad when questioned about it)and to talk with activists. When the activists tried to make the whales run away the danish military intervened and threatened them(when they instead should forbid it because it's illegal).
They said they were shot in the past, so it's just their word.
[+]
I can find nothing about activists being shot and since it's not actually illegal in the Faroe Islands, it's not surprising that they were stopped.
I think it should be because there's no longer any reason to hunt whales (unlike before when it was a very isolated place and they needed food in the winter, they can't grow stuff) but they also only hunt a very small amount and salt and dry it themselves (which is why it's likely not found in supermarkets or restaurants). Should be done far more humanely if it's gonna continue.

They are under danish rule, where whaling is prohibited. This special concession makes no sense since it doesn't provide income, it is not needed for food(it's actually bad) and it's even done in a monstruous way.

In immigration news, after Hungary and Slovenia, Macedonia too is building a wall on the greek border.
Yay more walls!
[+]
Quote: The Faroese have control of most domestic matters; areas that remain the responsibility of Denmark include military defence, police, justice, currency and foreign affairs. Would they even have control over the whaling in the Faroe Islands in this case? It seems like something they have to ban themselves.

One of the organisations present there is Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. They claimed to be shot at with lethal ammunition in the past, during the Anti-Whaling-Campaign 2008 in antarctic waters to be exact. Chances for that to be true is low though. The only bullet found was the one the founder 'pulled out of his Bulletproof vest' but no evidence was found on the ship otherwise. The Japanese admitted using stun grenades. Could not find anyone mentioning even warning shots for Grindadráp. pictures of that hunt can be found here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3173617/Fishermen-chase-250-whales-beach-Faroe-Islands-locals-leap-water-glee-stab-death-slaughter-turns-sea-red-blood.html I would like to see that 'tradition' being stopped.

Apparently we have no more housing available so they have to sleep outside or find a place on their own If they're out of housing that makes why I saw Sweden trying to limit them now. In Serbia, they want them to stay here. The deal they were offered was stop sleeping in our parks, but instead resettle the villages down south that have very few to no people that were abandoned years ago. Basically like here's a bunch of land for you to live off of, but it requires them to work and build it up, etc. Very few takers.

Bismarck.Leneth said: » Sea Shepherd Leviathan.Chaosx said: » Very few takers. Anyway, I remember some interviews to people who arrived in Italy from Africa they were saying "Italy is the paradise land, we see it all the time on tv!" Sure, if you watch our stupid tv shows where people win money for chosing boxes or for rolling wheels it seems like this country has gold to throw at everyone...but that isn't the case. They come here to be just as poor, with a side of discrimination(but no war at least?)

I'm sure there's enough room but only if they go up north or out west but those municipalities don't want to accept refugees, or only want to accept a small number.
In this list you can see how many they are taking in http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article21831455.ab First you have the name, then how many people live there, people seeking asylum per 100 inhabitants, asylum seekers, and finally how many it would be if they were evenly distributed In Malmö (south of Sweden) they're out of places for them so the Church there opened up at night to let them sleep on the pews until 9 am

Turkish human rights activist was shot in the head after a press conference where he urged for the violence between PKK and Turkey to stop. A police officer was also killed according to AP.
It's unclear whether he, or the police, was the target A few hours after he was killed the Turkish police used teargas and water cannons on protesters in Istanbul They shouted "Tahir Elci is immortal" Bismarck.Dracondria said: » That depends on how much of it you eat though but yeah it's not good to eat it. The amount they hunt is about 0.1% of the population so it is sustainable but there's really no reason to do it anymore except for cultural reasons and that's not worth it. Cultural reasons my ***. Their "cultural" whale hunting is a lot like the Danish sport hunting you describe except they eat those. May have taught them better techniques for doing it but people have been living there for over a thousand years
They've hunted pilot whales since at least the 16th century Quote: Archaeological evidence from the early Norse settlement of the Faroe Islands c. 1200 years ago, in the form of pilot whale bones found in household remains in Gøta, indicates that the pilot whale has long had a central place in the everyday life of Faroe Islanders. Records of drive hunts in the Faroe Islands date back to 1584. By commercial I am talking minke whales off Antarctica.
I think that's Norway and Iceland, not Faroe
The shooter from yesterday
 According to Washington Post he said "no more baby parts" when he was arrested The world has gone insane.
I get called a bigot and racist because I believe all of humanity is equal and that there are no "races" of people. This is not an opinion. This is a fact. Even scientifically there is only one human race. The Human race. No divisions. And this somehow makes me a racist bigot.

I wouldn't call the world insane because of an idiot

Bismarck.Dracondria said: » The shooter from yesterday According to Washington Post he said "no more baby parts" when he was arrested Is it murder to kill a murderer to prevent them from being murdering baby murderers? If I saw a murder in progress I would hope I would do all within my power to stop a person committing a murder. Sugar coat it all you want. Killing someone because they might hinder my ability to enjoy life = murder. Rename humanity until it's unrecognisable, but it will not change the fact that unborn babies are still human.
