ok we'll wars biking shores i talked about a year ago but i was kind of a fan
of the whale wars program you know this program of course earlier we talked
about before
and the old series involved uh... whale hunting of binky whales down in the
south pacific in the in the antarctic ocean and that was really something that
it seemed a very clear that japanese were claiming that they were doing
research but whale meat
widely available in japan it just really seems like it was
essentially a slaughter and and very anti animal rights would you agree with
that you don't go out and kill as many whales as possible uh... for research
purposes so now there is this new series because the said the last will were
series was so successful
that they actually did basically hold japanese whaling and the antarctic ocean
in the southern ocean
but now they've had to move on in the new series is called whale wars biking
shores and it takes place in the faroe islands
which he regains protectorate
i'm actually i'm still compelled by it i saw the first episode and i'll probably
watch the whole season but
it's not that cleared they have this thing called a green it's spelled just
like grind but it's pronounced grand
we're pilot whales are killed by hand
and there's a lot of controversy you can see the picture we have up with the
bloody water and people in the water
there's a lot of controversy here the process involves panicking the whales by
surrounding them
and kind of hurting them towards the shallow beach and then they're killed
with them
by hand essentially with what looked like pick ax
and when they actually show up at the faroe islands
a lot of the the the affair elise i believe the caller saying listen we we
uh...
were very isolated
and we hope these whales for food
we kill them
as quickly as possible it takes less than two minutes to kill them it's not
that different from the process that may be
a slaughter house for kaur chicken or paid or what have you
and powell whales are not endangered and we've been using them as food here for a
thousand years
so actually started researching this and it it is true that the faroese do ecp
islet whale
at the same time is it that clear when you talk to younger people they say you
know not everybody eats pilot whale i'm actually having mixed feelings about
whether this is really the best example the best white for animal rights that we
could be undertaking
i don't know i'm you know you completely against
that the killing of whales in general
that's the thing that the situation with the main ki whales appears to be it's at
number one they they are forwarding
and number two it seems to buy lead at least some kind of international laws
this here to meet is leaning a little bit more just kind of a nobody should it
be animals that nothing that being said it is pretty gruesome when they go out
there and literally just start hacking away at these whales with pick ax is
until they die
i do find it to be relatively gruesome
i'm just not
as compelled by as i was by the original will were seasons and that cause in the
southern ocean
which i did not watch
but uh... so i can't really what's your thought on this but i mean at what
should we be focusing on here whether it's an endangered species whether
they're being
to put to death in a humane way which they're kind of arguing you get the
order right away but it seems pretty brutal when you look at the love it
it seems to me i i don't really know much about this but it seems like the
focus should probably be on endangered animals
uh... if it's not on that then
you can apply the same logic to any animal that spilled
for food you couldn't try to make it
less painful for the animal to kill them or to try to abolish the killing of them
outright
but uh... it seems like i don't see the difference between killing a
non-invasive whale
and any other animal if it's done
this little is part of nine o'clock let me know your thoughts on this friday did
uh... hackman dot com contact us for the was the police mala two one nine two
