SAMPLE LETTER • Print/Send This Letter
Honorable Officials of Denmark and Faeroe Islands:
Citizens worldwide are sickened by the annual vision of whales marooned in blood-red waters. Islanders stone, gouge, spear, hack and
bludgeon some 2,000 to 3,500 long- and short-finned pilot whales under the bizarre notion that God created these animals for the Faeroese
to butcher alive.
During a pilot whale "grind" boats chase whales into shallow bays, where the disoriented creatures are easily gored with metal gaffs. Waters
turn a brilliant red by the time killers sink a 6-inch blade past blubber and flesh to sever a whale's spinal cord.
Finally, vital blood vessels are cut, leaving a bay littered with mangled whales. Unbelievably, whale drives are festive community events. Young
children even take part in the massacre of terrified animals.
I cannot support tourism in the Danish Faeroe Islands until whale kills are permanently terminated. I urge officials to legally shield wildlife
from abuse, including the senseless slaughter of whales for sport.
Moreover, the population count for North Atlantic long-finned pilot whales is unknown. The Convention on the Conservation of European
Wildlife and Natural Habitats classifies them as "strictly protected." Each time the Faeroese kill even 100 whales, entire pods and family groups
are erased. This weakens the their gene pool and harms ecosystems in the North Atlantic and the North Sea.
The whale drive is illegal in other European states. Residents of the Faeroe Islands don't use the toxin-contaminated flesh left behind.
Tradition, entertainment and sport never justify outright torture. For these reasons, I respectfully ask you to outlaw whale drives in the Danish
Faeroe Islands.
Thank you,

about web petitions
When you use the web petition instead of direct-send, your comments — and everyone else's — come from one place: Our website server.
WEB PETITIONS REQUIRE THE LEAST EFFORT, BUT SOMETIMES CAN:
- Create a spam effect that angers recipients and hurts outcome for animals.
- Compel recipients to block the entire petition, so no one's comments get through.

Islands
 
 
 
Every year from 2,000 t0 3,500 pilot whales are corralled by men in boats and forced into bays in the Faeroe Islands,
a North Sea Danish Protectorate mid-way between the Shetland Islands and Iceland. Although the Islands are a protectorate of Denmark, they
have their own government and regulations governing the pilot whale hunt or "grind" as it is known.
For centuries Faroe Islanders have hunted pilot whales, driving entire schools into killing bays, where they are speared or gaffed from boats,
dragged ashore and butchered with knives.
