I just wish to take a stand to attempt to stop the senseless slaughter of hundreds of pilot whales that is occurring in The Faroe Island regions.

This occurs annually and sometimes more often and is deemed accepted by the locals and the apparent 'cultural' aspect of the act.

I strongly believe that any form of culture that believes that senselessly killing hundreds of marine mammals for any reason is justified needs to be changed.

Hundreds of thousands of people are sickened by the media coverage of this event - now I ask you all to stand here to change it with me.
