    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.

      I make it a point not to engage with ignorant people. Especially when they condescendingly try to enlighten me on mine own culture.

      Try whaling.fo, but note that I won’t discuss it further with you when you have selectively gathered and the information that confirms your bias.

        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.

          I’m not going to claim that it’s not biased. But it is factual.
