SAMPLE LETTER • Print/Send This Letter

Honorable Officials of Denmark and Faeroe Islands:

Citizens worldwide are sickened by the annual vision of whales marooned in blood-red waters. Islanders stone, gouge, spear, hack and bludgeon some 2,000 to 3,500 long- and short-finned pilot whales under the bizarre notion that God created these animals for the Faeroese to butcher alive.

During a pilot whale "grind" boats chase whales into shallow bays, where the disoriented creatures are easily gored with metal gaffs. Waters turn a brilliant red by the time killers sink a 6-inch blade past blubber and flesh to sever a whale's spinal cord.

Finally, vital blood vessels are cut, leaving a bay littered with mangled whales. Unbelievably, whale drives are festive community events. Young children even take part in the massacre of terrified animals.

I cannot support tourism in the Danish Faeroe Islands until whale kills are permanently terminated. I urge officials to legally shield wildlife from abuse, including the senseless slaughter of whales for sport.

Moreover, the population count for North Atlantic long-finned pilot whales is unknown. The Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats classifies them as "strictly protected." Each time the Faeroese kill even 100 whales, entire pods and family groups are erased. This weakens the their gene pool and harms ecosystems in the North Atlantic and the North Sea.

The whale drive is illegal in other European states. Residents of the Faeroe Islands don't use the toxin-contaminated flesh left behind. Tradition, entertainment and sport never justify outright torture. For these reasons, I respectfully ask you to outlaw whale drives in the Danish Faeroe Islands.

Thank you,
