Please everybody - you have to realize that this isn't true. You might think you got it from a reliable source, but no. Dolphins doesn't even live in our water, so shame on you for not checking your sources. And shame on you "Larsen", you might say you're from DK, but apparently you know nothing about it - dolphins doesn't live here!

Simply not true by: Anonymous
Denmark doesn't have any wild Dolphins.
Denmark have loads of registrations against these things, you can hardly smack a fly in DK.
Denmark hasn't had rituals like these for hundreds of years.

CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!!! by: Anonymous
I never heard about this anywhere...They report everything on TV when such cruel inhumanity is taken place to such innocent creatures of the world. Why wouldn't this be reported? Why would they let people slaughter these beautiful mammals snd let them scream and cry in pain. I just cannot believe this would be allowed. It is the same as watching someone murder a human and let people stand around and watch them scream in pain. Well, if this really is happening then yes, someone should do that to them...They are not human...In my opinion, these are sadistical sickies that should not roam the same planet, but infortunately,the good has to live with the dredge. We cannot stop disgusting murderous situations, but we can put a stop to something like that. I just received the article and feel that the ruling body in this country would not allow such inhumane slaugther to go on...I really cannot believe this....Would the inhabitants of this country let this go on? Is this real?? Disgusted.....

Get your facts right by: An upset dane
I`ve just read 20 comments about some shit about some danish manhood test of some sort, and what kind of worries me is that a lot of you people actually beleives it. First of all dolphins doesn´t live anywhere near Denmark, so just there this is impossible, second of all, we are members of the European Union, and they have got tons of regulations and restrictions regarding animal welfare, that´s the second reason for that this cannot, and never has happened. All of this happens on the Faroe Islands, and the danish government has NO juristriction there, so don´t blame us, blame the Faroe inhabitants.

They are pilot whales.... by: An American Dane
They are pilot whales and they are killed in the Faroe Islands. Denmark Kingdom, yes. Denmark, no. They are also self governed, thus Denmark is not to be blamed for Faroe's inhabitants.
In my opinion, considering that Denmark has permitted gay marriage since the 80's and allows all of the perks of a heterosexual marriage, I would say they seem pretty understanding and compassionate. Not to mention being rated the second most peaceful country in the world.
Europeans claim that Americans are ignorant? If you were to simply research it, you would find results. It took me less than 30 seconds.
Furthermore, instead of complaining about injustices being done, regardless of your incorrect information, why don't you actually do something about it? Perhaps creating an organization similar to Denmark co-founding NATO?
Despite being an American, I know what blood flows through my veins and where it originated. I have your back Denmark and fellow Danes.
Eternally a Dane,
William

Lie!!! by: Dinish teenager
I'm a teenage girl, living in Copenhagen, and this is bullshit. To even think that people would do this is sick! I'm 14 and i have never heard anything about this. And btw. we don't even have Dolphins, and the last time we had a whale, we did everything to save it, and it ended up dying from old age, washed up on the beach of Vejle Fjord. We do NOT have a festival of "Dolphin and whale killing", The only ritual we have for a boy, to become a man, is were you go to 6 months of church school ,and even that is becoming exctinct! So think before you choose never to visit Denmark.

Please check your facts. by: Daniel
I live in Denmark, and we don't have dolphins here. There is no dolphin-killing going on anywhere in Denmark. This "story" must be some kind of joke, or someone got their facts wrong.

you guys cannot be serious! by: outraged at your stupidity
WOW - I don't think I've ever been so amused by reading a bunch of comments before... only one person in here noticed that dolphins don't live in the waters around Denmark, whales rarely enter the waters, and when they do, danes do everything they can to save them.
That you really believe such a 'whale and dolphin killing festival' takes place is beyond me - I'm sure this page, and all who have commented on this subject, are either very ironic people, who do it for the laugh of writing a stupid comment, or are in fact stupid themselves for not thinking before writing their comments.
Please think before commenting on these subjects - you only make fools of yourselves... and have you noticed how no link to an article or proof as to this occurance has been posted... ?

Don't blame my country. by: Anesa Køhler
You shouldn't judge a country by what a small group of people do. Denmark is a beautiful country and it has the friendliest people in the world! Please, forgive them they are just tennagers, Danes are wonderful!

Shame shame shame by: Jennifer Jolly
How can something so barbaric still be happening. These are not tuna or cod, these are fellow intelligent, feeling, social creatures. They have complex social relationships, much like humans. They demonstrate attachment to each other. We know this as a species. It is a scientific fact. Killing these fellow mammals in a world as it is now is completely unacceptible. This may have been needed 100 years ago but with what we know now it is completely, and utterly shameful and inhumane. Denmark stop this shameful slaughter.

slauter of dolphins by: Joan Larsen
Today, I received a VERY VERY disturbing email/pictures regarding the slauter of dolphins by the teenage boys to prove their manhood.
I am as you can see by the spelling of my last name, of Danish desent and must say I am so appallllllllled at the pictures and story of this event that it makes me ashamed that my ancestors came from Denmark.
Until this practice is stopped I will continue to forward this email around the world requesting all do the same and to boycot your country at all costs. Even if it means loosing plane fare by not going on a planned trip.
THIS HAS GOT TO STOP NOW!!!!!
If a boy needs to attack something to prove his manhood, let them attack each other. Winner take all.
I AM SO ASHAMED OF YOU!

Shame on you Denmark! by: Angelina
This truly is a crime against these beautiful and to their detriment friendly dolphins. The European Parliament should draft legislation to ensure that it is recognised as not acceptable behaviour, and criminal. As part of this European umbrella cultures with these barbarian traditions need to be informed as such.

that's a senseless crime, everyone should know of it by: Maria
Hi, I live in Russia, and we have lot's of subjects to care about apart from some northern Dolphins. And a link to these photos I got occasionally from my English friend living in Turkey...
And we are often lazy to write, when we get excited by something like this, BUT guys, this is SICK. Killing that brutally and massive - for no reason, for fun - teaching your kids do it - on harmless friendly extincting!! animals.
That's truly a SHAME for all people of Denmark, including those who just know of it and doing nothing.
I though Northern Europe was a peaceful place, famous for beautiful NATURE, taken care of, and full of happy relaxed people. BUT THIS IS SICK. Why should you do this?? A good and fair reward would be to put those hooks into murderers bodies back when they finished with dolphins, as we are all quite equal in rights with animals, we are children of one Mother and It wouldn't last long with such attitude.
Idiots, no words, really.

NONSENSE!! by: Noe
Today is 3/16/2010 and I just found out about this brutal and disgusting actions going on in Denmark. How can anyone do this, I won't say how can anyone human do this, because humans are killing more and more sea animals, not just by polluting their waters but by hunting and for fun as in this case. I will never visit Denmark although I know not everyone there is for this atrocious activity, but regardless I want nothing to do with it. I would love to say so much more but I'm out of words.
I know that from a young age , children should be taught to love nature, animals and RESPECT their space. So having young men do such things, is just a bad reflection on their society.

Denmark : NEVER!!!!! by: Anonymous
To see what is done to those animal is totally sickening, therefore, I shall never visit this country, I shall never buy anything from this country, and I will tell as many as I can about what Denmark is doing.
I thought the Dan were real men....I was wrong!!!

Cowards by: Anonymous
Anyone who kills innocent animals or humans are cowards. What are they teaching their children ? To become murderers of helpless animals who can't fight back. Send them all to the military to make real men out of them. Shame on Denmark for letting this happen. The rest of the world is trying to teach our children to save and respect our wildlife. This horrible massacre is sick.

What about Denmark Dolphin Killing ? by: Anonymous
Hearing about Denmark Dolphin Killing makes me as outraged, as the person who reported about it.
Sorry to say, I never heard about it and would like to know the source of those news.
How can anybody club those lovable cetaceans who are known to be man's best friends in the oceans?
Remembering how happy they are cruising the waters by Gibraltar and by the Cape of Southern Africa, where I saw them, I find it hard to adjust my mind to Denmark dolphin killings.
We also have many dolphins in their natural habitat off Los Gigantes in Tenerife. I reside there. The latter is the biggest Canary Island. There, dolphins are very happy sharing clear waters together with pilot whales, above all.
However, what happened in Loro Park Puerto de la Cruz in November 2009 leaves a bitter taste in my mouth for keeping big sea animals in parks or zoos.
By the looks of it, an orca killed a trainer during a show training session. I assume this after I read comments by locals in early web contributions. The latter will not be politically correct, of course. Why? The show must go on, as was also said after a similar incident in another part of the world, not long ago.
At least dolphin shows are somehow different.
To make them actors for mens' amusement is to be preferred to Denmark Dolphin Killing.
