Killing to Dump and Dumping to Kill - More Wastage from the Island of Sandoy 33 pilot whales died yesterday on Sandoy. Today Sea Shepherd discovered a very interesting place on this island, the same island where the Mayor is obsessed with toilet paper shortages. Its the place where islanders bring discarded whale meat. You see many people accept their allotment of whale meat but simply do not eat it. Why? Because it is socially unacceptable to not accept it. There is this annoying thing called tradition. The problem is that many people also realize that the meat is contaminated with methyl-mercury and thus it is poison, the kind of poison that eats away at the tissue of the human brain. Nasty stuff, and many people whose brains remain relatively unaffected are smart enough to know that whale meat is simply not healthy. And some people oppose the killing, after all not everyone in the Faroe Islands is a blood-thirsty heartless brute. So after accepting their share, they quietly sneak away and dump it. Sea Shepherd volunteers observed this only a few days ago with meat from the beached Bottlenose whales. Nearby the meat dump shoot, our photographer found a little pile of dorsal fins so small that they appear to have been cut from baby whales or unborn whales like the ones we have seen from other Grinds where the fetuses have been ripped from their mothers body. I simply cannot fathom the type of sick individual that would slice off dorsal fins from baby whales or unborn baby whales. The more we investigate this strange cultural aberration the more we seem to be descending into deeper levels of hell.
