    it may be a requirement for the survival of these people.

    It’s hard to believe in this, considering that it’s Faroe Islands (Denmark), not some primitive tribals which have no other means to get food.

      Faroese cuisine is generally dominated by the use of animal products, as only about 2% of the 1,393 km2 of land on the islands is at all suitable for arable crops.[28] As a result, during the winter months, the Faroe Islanders traditionally eat mostly salted or dried food, including mutton, fish, seabirds and the meat and blubber from sea mammals

      The really easy to find wiki article on the topic.

      The distance from the Faroe Islands to Denmark is approximately 1,356 kilometers (about 842 miles).

      So I imagine it is probably quite expensive to import food. They do, they import quite a lot but that’s not a solution. You’re being very ignorant…and frankly I’m done with this argument. Especially since I’ve been saying that I think it should be ended, and you’re very clearly just arguing for the sake of arguing.

        Yeah. And that’s why they need to cull dolphins and whales once a year?

        It sounds more like a tradition than necessity.

          Armed with MY opinion, I can rule the world!

          Well done you with the all seeing eye.

          Let’s get Trump to invade the Faroes and install truth justice and the American way!

          Get McDonalds established quickly so they do not need to cull.

          I wonder if the islanders will be so exploited as American workers with minimal wage and the exploitative tipping culture?

          Over to you All Seeing Eye!
