Hello. I'm Portuguese. We also used to hunt whales, but only in the Azores (a small group of islands that belongs to our country). That is not done anymore. Nowadays, instead of killing whales, hunters take people on boats to watch them, which is far better! I do not agree with commercial hunting and I think it should be banned by all contries because there is no need to slaughter these animals. In Faroe it's a tradition and I can only understand this killing if you tell me it's a way not forgetting how it is done (because in the future who knows how things will be?), so, killing 1 or 2 whales is more than enough, don't you think?
