  2. what about we all try to fix our own countries and all the big number of problems there, before we point fingers at other country's issues

  3. I don't know. There are about 100.000 of these whales in the waters around Faroe Islands. They hunt for some hundreds of them every year, and apart from that there are a few thousands of these whales that are dead of natural causes every year. for the sake of Faroe Islands, the number of hunted whales are carefully regualted in order to not overhunt. They have done this for 500-1000 years, and the whales are still around

  4. the numbers one can find with various science institutions of countries on the North Atlantic Ocean, that followes the life in the ocean closely. Around 800.000-1000.000 pilotwhales are in the North Atlantic Ocean, there of about 100.000 close to Faroe Islands. On average, 670 pilot whales have been killed in Faroe Islands each year the last 10 years.  @Andrew_EvsW

  5. and it's said that several thousand other whales around the waters of Faroe Islands are dying a year, just disapears in the dark ocean. It's a very hard inviroment for the whales.
