I spend the weekend with a pair of girls from the Faroe Islands and we ended up talking about the whale killings and this "article" http://www.eface.in/denmark-is-a-big-shame-to-whole-world/
It basically gets everything wrong. They don't use hooks, but knifes and axes. It looks bloody, but that's because it's in the sea.
I'm neither for or against it, but I know it will turn into a massive discussion in the comments, so try to keep it civil.
I read the article and it is not professional as they did not even look up how to spell the Faroe Islands. They spelt it Feroe iland, a copy and paste from the actual article
@Zytrax
Japan probably hasn't heard of them (even that news article blames the whaling on Denmark) and Japan is too busy arranging a wedding to his favourite fictional video game character. :P
I'm sorry, but that part flipping killed me
