Location: Baltimore, MD | Except that in many other countries, endangered species are being killed for sport--and even those for medicine, the tusks and other parts are taken, and the rest wasted. The whales being killed are not endangered, and being used for everything--meat, blubber, organs and bones--and they only kill what they need, they let the rest go back out to sea. Not unlike the buffalo here in the states. When the original inhabitants--the native tribes--hunted buffalo, they hunted what they needed, and used every part. For years and years, this went on with plentiful herds. Then along comes the settlers, who managed to kill buffalo relentlessly, with no concern for waste, and essentially killed them to the brink of extinction.
Animals raised in captivity for food face far worse and crueler conditions/lives than the whales that come into the shallows. I still choose to eat meat--although I am beginning to phase meat out of my diet more and more, based on the horrid conditions of the industry.
Pamela Anderson should stick to what she knows best. Baywatch re runs. The people and culture of the Faroe Islands has existed for over 1000 years, They don't need a ditzy celebrity who couldn't find the Faroe Islands on a map, telling them how they should live their lives. we met a man who has lived on the land, in a house, passed down thru 17 generations. It is one of the purest places I've ever seen-- many of the locals we spoke to just shrugged it off. They were quite patient with those questioning their way of life. |
