Teens Slaughter Dolphins in Denmark as Rite of Passage

Share This Story

Denmark is known for its general civility and high standard of living. However, teens from the Faroe Islands in Denmark engage in a brutal dolphin slaughter that may turn some heads. Considered a rite of passage, this video captures a blood-soaked ritual that leaves hundreds of dolphins dead. (Warning: Graphic Footage.)

Hi, Proffesor
I am a 5th grade student from the largest oil company in the world. Dolphins can go extinct anytime. If dolphins go extinct then it would ruin most of sea life. In school I was thought to treat the earth respectfully. These teens should know what there doing! I would go to the government of denamark and tell them that killing and hunting other animals should be against the law.

Regards to all.

Dolphins are endangered! I don't understand why people do this?

What?! We have an rite of passage?! i live in Denmark, and i have NEVER heard of this. Plus, i want to add that, The Faroe Islands are not a real part of denmark, but share our government and Denmarks royal family is also theirs. Therefore, this is not an action being performed by Danes, but by "Færøboere" (dont know how to say it in English). Also, this is not a "Rite of passage". It is a time of year where the dolphins come to breed in a certain bay in the Faroe Islands, and the locals come to slaughter them for meat. There is a point to it.

This is a part of Farorian culture. It is no more unnatural, or immoral, than cows being holy in India. Most of the west see's that as silly, where i can imagine, most of the world see's this tradition as pure evil.

Eating meat and killing, are natural parts of life. For ALL species.

oh shut up!
(it's alright that people do not eat meat but it is not right to post a video like this giving out fake information)
First of all, these animals are NOT dolphins. And the Faroese people do this because of their culture and they like the meat, fat and other things on it. They USED to kill them in a very grotesque way but for years they have killed them in the fastest way they possibly can so the wales will die immediately.
you guys should all see this in a different perspective too as well as I see that it looks very bloody and gross, but this is their way of living.

Its sad to see so many creatures getting executed for he sake of tradition and festivity (not necessity or survival of another species).

Morality is always a debatable topic. Its enlightening to read everyone's comments and see different perspectives. Everyone has a case in a point.

Like they say its not where we come from, its where we (humans) are going in future. I believe and feel we coexist in our ecology not as individual specie but, as a connected seam with every other being and non being connected to us, interdependent.

We are about to take control of our DNA destiny and blast off our evolution to a whole new level. Its a divine plan to understand the DNA and mysteries around us and progress into cosmic future not only through survival but extension of ours and as many species as we can carry into future.

We are in times where we are struggling with conflicting forces within (morals, ethical dilemmas vs. innate instincts/ needs, social existence). Humanity is undergoing a huge transformation and transition.

Its inevitable we will exhaust our planet, just as we max out our credit cards, inventories or luckily find a sustainable solution as time runs out on us. We need another planet or cosmic shelter to avoid accidental mass annihilation regardless.

In any case, I am sure we will grow out of our insanities to be a more stable and sustainable species as we run into one crises after another (we are crisis-driven).

how is eating animals the same as torturing them? I dont see the corolation there? is it because you think the end result is the same? cause its not, you just assume that we agree with you because ultimately the animal dies .

this animal suffers for long periods of time because they do not do it just for the kill they get some sort of real pleasure out of it. thats the real difference though we get pleasure from eating meat we are not taking pleasure in the killing of the animals that it took to provide that meal we are taking pleasure in the fact that we have a full stomach.

and actually for a person to maintain an optimal weight they do need the amount of protien and fat provided by the meat of animalas because usually to find that kind of protien out of plands is costly. it definitly varies from person to person but meat is a necessity to maintain optimal muscle weight and fat count.

not the same thing and yes im surprized.

I must say, a very creative film . putting some sad music on and writing something that sounds as cruel as they want it to be.

Get your facts real, before putting it out on the internet
- this is not a ritual
- we eat the meat
- Faroe Islands is not IN Denmark
- the whales are not nearly extinct
- they dont suffer
- they die in about 10 seconds
- everything is controlled by the police
- it is done in the most humane way that it can be done

and so on and so on, i could go on for hours. my point is dont believe everything you see on the internet.

"To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? Saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of goats. When ye spread forth your hands, I will hide Mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers , I w...ill not hear, for your hands are full of blood." (Isaiah 1.11,15)

Romans 14:21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause any man to stumble.

There is life after death --they cannot understand, even big, big professors, big, big learned scholars. Everyone is thinking, "This body is accidental and when the body will be finished, everything is finished." That is the general understanding. But Bhagavad-gita, you read. It is said, na hanyate hanyamane sarire: "After the destruction of the body, the soul is not destroyed." Vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya navani anyani grhnati aparani: "Just like when our dress becomes old enough not to be used, then we accept another dress, similarly, when this body is old enough, not workable, then we accept another body."

hose who are ignorant of real dharma and, though wicked and haughty, account themselves virtuous, kill animals without any feeling of remorse or fear of punishment . Further, in their next lives, such sinful persons will be eaten by the same creatures they have killed in this world.
