The Faroese often also take into consideration that the pilot whales after all do live a free life until just before they die, which can't be said about the domestic animals, from which most of the meat comes, that most people in the world eat.īottom line is that people still need food to survive. And food production everywhere is "artificialized" or modified to such an extent, that it makes almost any food unhealthy and even dangerous for humans to eat, more or less. Most of the world - even arctic areas far away from the densely populated industry areas - is polluted. You don't give me much credit, do you? If you read further on in this blog post, I'm seriously trying to explain my point here - quote:

I hope you also understand my point of view. New green alternatives include wind, wave and tidal energy which promote a safer, healthier environment.But a "quick fix" that will ultimately contribute to our oceans' acidification will hopefully provide enough capital for the Faroese to import more food in the forseeable future when ,(on account of pollution ,overfishing and climate change )most global fisheries collapse. Several recent occurances of beachings/ strandings of N.Atlantic Long-finned pilotwhales may have also reduced their abundance.ĭeep off shore drilling for more fossil fuels to produce yet more CO2 emissions that pollute our biosphere is unfortunately typical from governments that avoid investing toward the future through developmentof clean ,renewable energy sources. The IUCN reports that-due to a combination of threats that include anthropogenic sound (mainly from military sonar and seismic surveys), fisheries bycatch, entanglement in fisheries gear, and loss of prey base due to overfishing-a 30% reduction in the global population of Long-Finned Pilot whales over the past 72 years “cannot be ruled out”. However, these numbers are based on sighting surverys with questionable accuracy, as some of the whales counted may have been Short-Finned Pilot Whales-an entirely different species. However, as their status suggests, there simply isn’t enough data available to estimate the whales’ current abundance.Įstimates from the late 1980s IUCN suggested there were possibly more than 750,000 individuals living in across the North Atlantic,while the IWC in 1989 last estimated 680,000.00- numbers consistently referred to by the Faroese Government in justifying their hunts as sustainable. The IUCN suggests that, if the two subspecies are recognized, an uplisting of their classification may be warranted to one of higher risk. Although treated as one species, there is evidence that there may actually be two extant subspecies with a gap in their geographic range isolating the two. Long-Finned Pilot Whales are currently listed as ‘Data Deficient’ on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Until a more recent, reliable assessment is conducted their numbers are undetermined.


Why ?īecause there are no current estimates of N.Atlantic Long-finned Pilotwhales. Regarding your estimate of North Atlantic Pilot Whales - one million ? This is not correct. But, if the Faroese, have just joined the rest of us ,(who have been impacted for quite some time by this global recession) I suggest it might be healthier to avoid turning to hunting and consuming alot more poisonous meat and risk irreversible neurological impairment ,cardiovascular disease that could lead to eventually burdening or bankrupting the Faroese government's health care system. Organic compounds like MeHg ,PCBs,and Perfluorinated Organic Compounds etc,found in excess levels in dolphin/pilotwhale meat, are not considered edible ingredients according to health standards. I don't think so.Burgers are not classified as toxic waste ,like dolphin meat. I've been advised that his study is still ,after more than 2 years ,being reviewed. But I won't dwell on the 2008 Gov't Health Advisory issued by Dr.Pal Weihe. Some of us are sensitive to human health risks too.
