You clearly have no intentions in expanding your pov about this beyond one story that was scandalised locally to try and see the hows and whys from the locals pov, so I'll let you make your nazi-comparisons in peace.

I was merely mentioning the fact that pigs are found to be the same intelligence levels as toddlers. So since pigs (and by extention toddlers) are clearly sub-human intelligence, what's the stance on killing them? Your argument was based on intelligence level being the deciding factor in what's allowed to be killed.
The right to kill something isn't determined by the hunter's or the hunted's brain development, it's something decided by humans (as morbid as it is).

They're a herd animal, so it's either kill the pod or none. They're killed pretty much instantly as the people doing it knows what they're doing. I don't see how this is any different than fishing (which you can also paint to be some brutal suffocation of fish due to keeping them above water, but doesn't change the fact that it's a way of gathering food).
So please, without using pathos: Explain to me how this is barbaric and vile, since you're clearly an expert after 10 minutes of Wikipedia browsing and a handful of Sea Shepherd videos.

The one time? The whole Grindadráp is documented extensively for like a century, it's extremely controlled and non-commercial. When some idiots got greedy and went on to hunt a dolphin herd they were shunted for it. I don't see what's not to understand here.

And aren't pigs the same intelligence as a toddler? I don't see you saying killing pigs is comparable to slaughtering toddlers.
Humans hunt animals for food.

Frowned upon doing. It's really not that deep.

Yes that one incident was heavily frowned upon on the Faroe Islands too, and is seperate from the picture I responded to. The normal Grindadráp is a controlled hunt, just like fishing.

So eating humans and eating animals is comparable now or? That's a strawman if I've ever seen one.

They hunt under 1% of the population of grind every year. The population increases with more than that every year. You do the math. It's sustainable, non-commercial and highly regulated hunting.

Well it's a popular place for tourists to go, and very cinematic.

You can only fish in the lakes if you have a license. You can fish in the sea without restrictions. You can not bring fishing equipment that isn't unopened (to prevent introduction of foreign diseases). Individual people own the different open lands, so you can't just go camping or hiking wherever you'd like. They use the land for their sheep. There's some (read: a lot) specific hiking routes you can hike on without restrictions, and some you have to pay for (the one in OP requires payment for upkeep since it's crazy popular). Hope that clears it up a little bit

It's an autonomous country within the kingdom of Denmark. They have their own laws and stuff, except foreign policies and affairs which are maintained by Denmark.

But it's exactly not exploited as a cash grab. It's non-commercial and highly regulated by the state to keep it sustainable and non-profit so as to keep with the original intent.
Hence why you see the individuals doing that one being shunted.
