And there is no other food available in Norway? Perhaps we could arrange a
UN assistance program.

Norway ? :-)

Faroe Islands is still a part of Denmark, as You can read on my page.
And Yes, there is plenty of other food but that is no reason for not eating
whales is it?

Actually I liked that article. Written by a guy on the spot. Normally
articles are written by somone far away
who has no idea what he's talking about.

I am currently not on the Islands but it might be a good idea to include
some pictures from the whalehunting.
And maybe a discussion-forum where we can discuss the item with the
ignorants that have lost all contact
with the nature and think that their burgers grow on the trees.

Good idea. Thanks.

I was responding to a poster with a Norwegian address.

No, but likewise the existence of other food is also not a reason to avoid
eating human babies, granite, or hemlock.

These things come with their own reasons.

Comparing baby-eating and whale-eating is hardly fair is it?

I would rather compare eating a whale to eating a cow or a pig.

And presumably if I were a rapist I would rather compare rape to gentle
lovemaking.

Well, this is really rather pointless. A strict vegetarian might make a
similar quip to a lacto-vegetarian, a lacto-vegetarian likewise to
someone who eats fish, and a fish-eater to someone who eats meat. In
other words, people like to get into their little corners, feel smug and
superior, and then criticise others. Various peoples in the world have
historically eaten and hunted whales, and it was a very important source
of food for them. It's still probably possible to hunt whales and not
have a damaging impact on the environment. People overfish all the time,
and in the greater environmental scheme of things, that can cause just
as much damage. The world's greater ecosystem has been irrevocably
changed by the billions of people who now live on it, and extensively
farm it. People have more of a soft spot for whales though.
