      Well, then educate me and please share accurate information then.

      My source is the Wikipedia page which is nicely sourced with plenty of Faroese references: Whaling in the Faroe Islands.

      Unfortunately I can’t read Faroese, so maybe all that sourced information has been lost in translation ?

          Well if you reread my comment, that was my original source and I’ve been told that it was inaccurate, so I asked for another source.

          Thanks for the information. Even though your source looks as biased as mine, at least I have contradictory information to make my mind on the matter.

          I’m not trying to enlighten anyone on their culture, I respect all cultures but we need to weed out, or at the very least reform, cruel traditions and practices and that’s not limited to Faroese whaling or bullfighting.

          It’s a good thing that whaling has been heavily reformed in the past few years, and it’s also aiming to lessen the suffering of the animals.
