I recently released a music video about the grindadráp, taken from the documentary Far Away Islands. Grindadráp is a Faroese tradition where they hunt whales. However, in modern times, they use motorboats, GPS, and other modern equipment to drive the whales into shore for slaughter. I don’t believe this is traditional, sustainable, or right. I want to address some of your comments, particularly why I don’t talk about Denmark’s overfishing. I have actually spoken out against it many times. I’ve sailed for many years, traveled the world for the past 10 years, and have seen firsthand how ecosystems have collapsed or are on the verge of collapse, especially marine ecosystems. I’ve specifically highlighted the destruction of Køge Bugt in Denmark, where the entire bay is suffering due to silt dumping. I’ve also spoken out against Japanese whaling, China’s massive overfishing, and other critical issues. This is close to my heart because I’ve personally witnessed the decline of ocean life. We live in a modern world with a growing population, and we need to find a way to sustain the oceans both now and for future generations. I understand that grindadráp is something Faroese people may feel is their right and tradition, but haven’t times changed? It is no longer about tradition when motorboats, GPS, and modern tools are used to drive whales onto shore for slaughter, only to discard much of their meat and other useful parts. This isn’t an attack on the Faroese people, it is an attempt to start a discussion. Is this really necessary anymore, especially considering the heavy metals and other contaminants in the meat? Is it truly about survival, or is it done as an act of defiance against the outside world, believing others simply want to erase your tradition? I truly appreciate everyone who has engaged in discussions on my YouTube channel, Facebook, and elsewhere without resorting to just insults or anger. I especially appreciate those who have shared different opinions in a constructive way. Productive discussions are important, and I’m grateful to those who approach these issues with an open mind.
