Wishful Thinking

The following 3 photos were taken by Jim Robertson of Animals in the Wild

These 3 photos show the way God created the whales to live free in the oceans of the world, and free from the exploitation of humans.

Reality

Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 01
(Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 01)  The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society took this and the following photos in the Faeroe Islands. This small Danish dependency between Scotland and Iceland is host to one of the most barbaric spectacles on the planet as each year thousands of gentle pilot whales are herded into bays and viciously slashed to pieces by drunken sadistic islanders who kill the whales for sport.
Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 02
(Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 02)  Sea Shepherd reports: Faeroese children suffer from the highest levels of mercury contamination in the world. The mercury literally eats away brain tissue and may help explain how these people can engage in such barbarity. This level of ruthlessness is extreme even compared to the behavior of Newfoundland sealers and Japanese dolphin killers.
Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 03
(Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 03)  The Faeroese proudly boast of how much they enjoy the pleasure of making the whales bleed, poking out their eyeballs, and ripping the fetuses from the pregnant females.  Whether or not the mercury contributes to this barbarism, we can't say, but it does show that these people have a depraved indifference to the suffering of others.
Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 04
(Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 04)  Some people try to say that there is no evil in the world and that everyone is basically good.  The pleasure that these Faeroese people derive from torturing and killing these gentle pilot whales is proof that there is evil in the world and that they turned from God to do evil.
Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 05
(Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 05)  The killing frenzie continues in the Faeroe Islands, and the people chase down and brutally slaughter the pilot whales.
Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 06
(Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 06)  Evil attracts evil!  Everyone turns out to either kill or watch the killing of the pilot whales.
Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 07
(Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 07)  A killer and the innocent prey!
Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 08
(Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 08)  In this photo we can see that these people enjoy killing in the most brutal ways.  No wonder so many people write to us and say that they are ashamed to be a member of the human race.
Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 09
(Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 09)  And other ask, "How could God allow this to happen?"  The simple answer is that God gave the care of this world to us, and most people have made things worse.  Jesus called on us to be blessed as peacemaking children of God (Matthew 5:9), which these people obviously want no part of.  Paul writes in Romans 8:18-23 that the children of God are to free the whole of creation from it's present corruption, which is further proof that these people cannot be those children.  Why hasn't the church taken a stand against this wanton killing, or are they part of the corruption, too?
Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 09a
(Whales and Whale Exploitation - Slaughter - 09a) Undercover Sea Shepherd operative took several images of the July 2010 Faroe Island Pilot Whale slaughter. This image shows only one of many Baby Pilot whales who were cut out of their mothers' bodies and left to rot.
