that puts a slightly different slant on it.

That first article is a bit shit, implying there's a huge consipiracy going on about rites of passage and super intelligent whales. Come on.

Tbh I find this sort of thing far easier to comprehend and far less shocking than what mankind can do to each other.

What is all the fuss about. Do you think that the industrial scale slaughter of cattle in our abbatoirs would turn your stomach any the less. Same rivers of blood flowing there. I should think every possible part of the whale carcass is put to some purpose. Again, what is the big deal, these remote islanders down the generations have depended upon such practises to survive in their chilly outposts. Get real.

a dolphin intelligence that is known to approach people with curiosity has not been made public

That's just not true now is it, it is common knowledge as to how intelligent Dolphins and whales rae.

Whale meat is never sold on the Faroes, for the catch is divided out amongst people in the community and any surplus given to hospitals and old people's homes

There was very little waste, one man told me as he stacked his share into a pickup, for more than 90% of each animal was consumed.

He was, he said, going to dry his portion of whale meat in the traditional way so it could be eaten by his family over the winter.
