Скачать или смотреть Operation Bloody Fjords: Sea Shepherd Prepares Legal Proceedings

In the wake of the second Grind of the year, where 120 Pilot whales were slaughtered in Hvannasund, on the island of Viðoy, Sea Shepherd has begun to reveal their legal proceedings against the Kingdom of Denmark.

“Pilot whaling is illegal. It is illegal in Europe, it’s illegal in Denmark, therefore it is illegal in the Faroe Islands. Denmark claims it is for the Faroe Islands to decide whether or not to stop whaling, but this is not true.” said Liesbeth Zegveld, attorney for Sea Shepherd. “The Faroe Islands are Danish territory, and Faroe citizens are Danish citizens. The Faroe Islands are not a federal state within Denmark. They only have a self-governing status allowed by Danish legislation that can be repealed and amended by Denmark.”

“We are currently in the process of establishing legal proceedings to take the Kingdom of Denmark to the European Commission and Danish courts.” Said Operation Bloody Fjords Campaign Leader and director of Sea Shepherd Netherlands, Geert Vons. “The Faroe Islands cannot enforce their laws protecting the practice of slaughtering pilot whales without the active support and force of the Danish police and military. It is blood that links Denmark and the Faroe Islands.”
