Overseas territory of the old EU member states Denmark - Faroe Islands - the country of the legendary Vikings. They were the first settlers of the islands and named their capital Torshavn in honor of the god of thunder and lightning Thor. There is an ancient legend that the Faroe Islands - a lost Atlantis, from which in the north Atlantic Ocean remained eighteen islands. The climate is harsh in the Faeroes. Its very sparse vegetation, almost no trees. Most of the year it rains and strong winds blow. It happens that winds destroy rocks and stones fall directly on the streets, smashing everything in sight. Faroese not grow vegetables or grain, on their plots of land - climate does not allow. Basic income and fishing - fishing and sheep wool. In ancient times, in order to survive, local residents in addition to fishing, slaughtering sheep and birds hunted whales. Whale jerky and fat helps to survive the harsh winters. Whaling - national pastime In order to feel men and miners, Faroese organized mass slaughter of whales. Took part in this population. Men are caught, and women and children are watching and support. Unfortunately, this cruel tradition has survived to this day. But now whaling began in the islands something like a national holiday. Not for food, but for the sake of blood, greed and meet their barbaric instincts. Hunt here on the grind, or as they are called - black dolphins. Pilot whale swim flock that blindly follows the leader. One has only to lure him one, like all the rest will follow him to his death. Whales are driving in shallow water in special bays. Surrounded by boats and drive to the beach with stones, sticks, harpoons. The first time I learned about this holiday soon after his arrival in the Faroe Islands. One came to pick up their children from kindergarten and saw the excited faces of educators. They were written happiness and satisfaction. Excitedly gesticulating, they were told that today went to see how the dolphins slaughtered and drove there for all children. They all loved it, and they are in a sheer delight. After this, the children in the garden all week to draw pictures of how dolphins slaughtered as they pull out, kill, and pools of blood. Worse than the picture, the more a place of honor on the wall it was. Exhibition of childrens works hung long and appalling all kind. My kids got a deep psychological stress. They have grown up in one day and realized that death exists, and walks around in a Faroese with a harpoon and spear. Nobody asked permission if you can lead the children to look at this horror. They just took - because its cool. Because many Faroese sincerely believe that the slaughter of whales - is one of the most beautiful sights. In the future, not just the children were taken to the slaughter, though they were warned that they can not drive there. But forget all the teachers at the time of excitation from the upcoming action. eyewitness I know of no more barbaric spectacle that takes place with the approval of the government and with the participation of almost all the people from small to large. This is a real horror. Once close to the island flock whales Faroese drop everything and run to the fishery. People learn on the radio, on mobile phones and just each other - today beat whales. Run down his legs, only to have time, but would not be late. Ran wild-eyed. All run, even pregnant women and young mothers, who grabbed their children, put in a wheelchair and also rushing to the shore. Other kids hang out under their feet, shoot them down is not up to the children - whales beat. There lead kindergartens and schools, so that all involved in the process and looked at the bloody mess. How killing innocent animals. Just a couple of hours ago and kind of cute Faroese are wild animals. They make sure that the whales have not been able to get away with shallow water. With wild parties thrown stones at them, hit them with spears and knocked in a chaotic mass. Injured animals become mad and rushing in search of freedom. People throw them from the shore and finish off right in the water. In the still-living whales stuck hooks, sticks and dragged to shore, where they cut the throat. Women and children support the men running through the puddles of blood. All around in the blood. Bloody Sea - quite red. The entire coastline is filled with the blood of innocent victims of the Faroese cruelty. Face, hands, clothes people - all in the blood. Satisfaction on the faces, the smiles, joy, pleasure, thrill - the whole range of feelings is read on every face. Bloodlust plus freebies thirst. After all the dead whales, right on the cutting begins production. Children are often involved in the process. They are allowed to tinker with the guts and innards. Shops in the Faeroes inundated with various types of meat, but whale meat is not sold there. Because it is distributed free of charge to the slaughter. On site-specific pre-created lists of applicants. Why go to the store and pay money when you can get the meat and so but still meet their barbaric instincts. Currently no need no bottom whales. Faroese do not die of hunger. Supply of products on the island has good, but, as explained Faroese themselves, it is their sport. Yes, it is with pride and appreciation they call this a nightmare. Photos to kill whales are placed in newspapers, in brochures for tourists, devoting a whole turns and publish the most horrific scenes. About whaling shoot video and then watch them with pleasure the long winter evenings, at the same time eating whale meat and fat. No regrets, just excited about the fact that soon everything will be repeated. Denmark live without it would be difficult Now the Danish Faroe Islands are autonomous. The entire population of the islands - 50 thousand. Persons. In 1948 the Faroe Islands gained independence in almost everything except politics and defense. The Faeroes your language - Faroese, Danish is the second. Currency - Faroese crown, it is equal to the Danish crown. Faroese do not like mention of Denmark and consider themselves to be completely independent and self-reliant. Most of the population of the Faroes vote for complete separation. Although annually receive grants from the Danish budget. Supporters of independence to the question of what they will live without money from Denmark, so usually meet: - I just feel in my heart that the Faroe Islands should be independent. More reasonable residents still against secession, because the population is too small islands to live alone. Kill not only whales I want to mention that this is not the only murder to which the Faeroes attract children. On the islands is very common sheep, and slaughter of sheep is a family holiday, which also includes all members of the family. In the eyes of children a sheep slaughtered and cut up, and then the kids are busy in the guts with a smile on his face. Shoot video and photos of the process. For a long time the Faroe Islands was a very popular book with a detailed photo report about it. Often, as in the gardens satisfied like. Probably to those children whose parents do not have the sheep did not feel deprived. Bring to a garden or a sheep for some marine animals and butchered them with their children. The children handed out trophies - guts and stuff. Once at the waterfront sailors staged a small outdoor aquarium. In containers with water poured floated various sea animals - crabs, starfish, fish, octopus and others. They could reach it and touch it. Some children watched with interest for the animals, while others simply took them and torn limbs, rejoicing as they squirm and try to escape. Parents are welcomed with smiles and looked at their children without making them any comments and fully supporting this torture. My children are terrified snuggled up to me and asked, Mom, is it so you can? Why parents do not tell children not to torture animals? What can they have to respond to this?
