as the poets of i'm and that's it from me. i didn't seem to find out an update for you at the top of the out. gomez. the dw documentary that's next. stop. all right. got. thanks so much. the name isn't the calls back. said thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud means would it be nosy, bailey good, everyone to king, to check out the award winning called cause don't hold back for the

i'm going to a baby on the pharaoh islands to a pilot whale hunt something i'm scared of physics often. lots of people have tried to feel him a pilot while hunt on the pharaoh islands. isn't that they are often chased away in front of us. we know about drones that have been shot out of the the times have been removed from people's cars. so i don't really know how they'll react to us. a quick warning. some people may find some of these food each hunt to watch. these documentary tells the story of how it goes to you and why it is bloody tradition still exists. the

mind miss christie and i'm sitting next to me is andreas who does the editing. we made a film in september 2021 about adults in hunt on the federal islands for a german news channel. more than 1400 dolphins were killed here. and in just a single day, doesn't data these, these images went around the world in 2021 because no one had ever documented sloth or, and such a large number of dolphins before. and to be honest, those were images. i was been unable to suggest, as well as a couple of 1000 people around the world of protested these kind of hunting. the images upset me and i wanted to know more. we got a camera same flu north to pharaoh while entering the north atlantic between scotlands norway, iceland, just as a 50000 people lived here. everyone knows everyone. it was important to me to keep

an open mind on this trip. i wanted to understand not to judge wyatt, people still killing pilot boils and other adults since here the my travel a lot. but it looks different here. wild and rough. we headed to the capital to shone when most of the sarah weeks live. the perfect place to meet people who can introduce us to the world of wild hunters and his father's cut off. i am waiting for a pet to a young man who lives here on the pharaoh island. he's also a field making you shop that footage back in 2021. i want him to take me to the place where it all happened. citizen, okay. you must have had to. yeah. hey,

good to me too. is it possible that you bring me to the place where the green, the drop was the last time? yeah. it takes 15 minutes so it's not far away. okay, perfect. that's right. i had to see good. the crew key told me he was born on the pharaoh islands and grew up in a small village. in 2021, he realized that something special was happening. he showed me the place where the animals was floated the beach. what happened? yes. it's very silent support, but you can feel that the atkins various like okay, everyone's getting ready. everyone that's participating is getting ready to see where exactly they are going to come in. like as soon as well as close enough to be killed. someone's gotta be ready. there and then you start coming and just officer and you, you do is do it as fast as possible. the pet to us said he didn't take

part in the homes back then instead he filled this footage. it's going around the world. if you don't like the size of blood, please look away for a moment. an agonizingly long time was needed for the few overwhelmed hunters killed the mold and $1400.00 whiteside adult, and instead of a few minutes, as is usually the case for a hunter, as low as it took at least half an hour. but have you ever seen a slaughter like this before? like this one? no. but what does it cost in the opinion into a thing that should stop or is it ok? let's continue see on the firearms. it's complicated. when i was young, i joined in the grant that i wanted to be a part of the grant support my father and getting foods. it was something that was valuable, but then uh i went to the other the other day virus. i was against it more or less

. how could that be a tradition? the killings animals that way. but that's where you're from. some uh some traditions are more fruitful for all their cultures. i don't think it's really a tradition. it's been a necessity also because it's been food in times where you can e things. some people have called it that gets him called a gift from god may be understandable when there's nothing to eat. but why still do it today? pet to assess his father, also hunts whales and dolphins. and we've been invited to come over the front door is open to these managing usually is in some more interest. listen paid to his father and the

way left. his mother doesn't want to be filmed in so in the other hand has no problem with it. he's a teacher and it's obviously not the 1st time he's explained to a cd kid like me, why they que wales here. that's all this, this picture. because when you go to germany, you would never see a painting of kidding picks or couse in your living room. but you have us here by the class you or because we are close to the nature you, you have you ever seen that big been killed? no, probably not, because it's behind close stores. and here to kindergarten, go to a just loved her house just to see how the sheets were killed. so that's the reason why i keep quiet. you don't see anything killed in any german living room. sorry. that like it killed because i'd like to meet on the table. and so

hypocrites, maybe we know that they're intelligent animals as well. thousands of very incomes. and so why do you think it's right to kill these kind of most anyhow is wrong? i'm not saying that i'm just asking you why the things right. i'm more i working with people that extremely low intelligent. if intelligence given me still gives me the right to kill any wrong. i'm really wrong for me doing it for food. and we eat dolphins. specialist polish woods from a teacher. yeah. and seems irritated the way it was know that most non pharaoh ways don't understand and to pose the way like we watch a video by see ship it and the organization that is campaigned against the hunt for years. the animal rights activists and many of the locals,

the facts that are doing the music and everything. the mind. yeah. what i'm saying, the things you are saying it's perusal. and so it's, and then what you see me is the best commercial surveys ever. and so i really, yeah, so why do you think that they are promoting even degree does wrong for young families, whalers and 2012. when c shepherd announced that they would come to the federal island, there was a grant, next to the fuel and stem this to were so many young people as it work. i wish i would do with all that because and even teach them so many there was and it has been tough many, ever since. so all what they are doing is the opposite. the animal rights activists denounced the whaling, but he ends defense as

a necessity. who's right, so we can ask the see ship it activists themselves. but 1st let's recount what we know about dolphins and the hunt for them. the, the fairways for different types of doses. whiteside adults and for example, the but then mainly interested in pilot whales, which are also adults since they have very social and leaving groups known as pods use this posted and the weather is right. this era we use cold for a and like they have a hundreds of years. the hunters been rushed out to sea and drive the animals into the feud with their boats to killed them in the shallows. they always record how many they killed. an average $630.00 pilot whales per year. and about $265.00 of the dolphins, the pharaoh. we sight animals and

nothing dangerous. hundreds of thousands leaving the seas. they don't understand why active us still have a problem with whaling struggles. i'm trying to get in touch with samuel from sea ship it unless the activists usually rent small apartments or houses somewhere. i want to meet them and find out where they are on the island. and maybe they'll get in touch soon. of finding them is not that easy to have cutting a shape, he just replied. we can meet at 5 pm for the 75 though we get the address and head out. the system was also easy to find the spots because we would check it on the map of the

we drove around, but it was not so easy to navigate. and finally, we noticed as cameras, filming the courtyard as we arrive, they were installed after the team suspected that car had been tampered with. work by made alexandra electric from poland. sorry to confine. why did you decide to come to the fair robin's road? i'm a more info just so i started to study just starting wheels. i'm really interested in them. they're beautiful on most very frustrating. i mean, we don't really know much about them. they're still a bit mystery and what's happening here? yeah, i'm just just set something to i personally think shouldn't be happening anymore. but do you understand the people say like say sharpen is not really interested in our tradition. they just take the pictures, put some traumatic music. ready over it and just show their lot in the sea,

but they don't explain the tradition. can you understand? yeah, absolutely. yeah. they've been doing it for so many years. it is a tradition for them. that's what they've been doing to survive as well. what's the problem and our view is that you don't necessarily have your motors on necessary suffering for the honorable samuel rosters, and he's coworkers trying to film every whale hunt with drones. the footage shows the animals don't even have a fighting chance. like one of the maybe worst things is the chase before the actual hans can take hours and they state themselves that the way they do that facing is by creating kind of like a sound well behind them. and this is designed to frighten vienna also in a certain direction, because you can see the way they're swimming now isn't it isn't casual anymore. so at this point they're, they're, they're running away, right?

they're, they're in, in, in fear. and they're swimming very, very fast way fast, and then they would be out on open waters. no chance to escape for the animals know there's a wall behind them and there's like land on each side. so there's only one way to a path to a little bit in the your offices. you have the argument the while were killed because we need from me is it always true that the eat, the whole animal or the most of it? i would say um, you don't know what happens. so that means afterwards. so do they use a little bit? they keep it, but at least from what we saw, they did take most of it. but they do is they basically opened the animals and they take the largest pieces of meat off. yeah. they're easily accessible just under the bar and many of them leave the rest back. can you show me the place where you think they've done uh, the bodies. oh wow. yeah, absolutely. let's go. they check the lug nuts on the car before we leave.

they're afraid of most sabotage. we drive north to a steep gorge the awhile here to slide down into the water and the waves. distribute the find a lot of the activists to these boots each of the different codes. it's supposedly from 2022 and prove the pharaoh ways. don't use all parts of the dead animals. i can't get too upset about it. we do the same with all the animals. if you go to the supermarket, what i do by all means you're checking your beef whatsoever. these are behind roles

killings. if we do it. absolutely. so can you follow this, this argument a little bit? they are very correct, very, very right. those on it was they had a good life before that and the most of the he does the society out of his people. if they didn't, they were just raise to be killed. we don't see that's what they do is either we think it's very wrong. so what is the solution that everybody stops it to me? the? well, the ideal is, but it's all really positive. i would say it's a difficult problem, but i really wouldn't have to that would be the ideal solution. the activists have been coming here for years and believe attitudes of slowly changing. they claim some sarah ways are also against wailing, but that many of them don't. this become so when people reach out to me and say that they're against the grins, but they can't speak about it because they will lose either business or are they will have

a struggling social situation. and that's also like side of it where we want to kind of read on surprise by what samuel says that perhaps not everyone on the island supports the pilot while hunt but many fairways don't want to be criticized from outside is why i find someone who might know the good the good to me to it, it's krista and they're good to get us to share with us. very good. this is to do a scholarly in these consider the colorful character on these for most islands. he was an actor and generalist, and is now a politician and broken train. when you describe a typical of a man or woman, how would you describe well, it's a, it's a person who likes freedom. when i was a young way i was visiting my most of my grandmother in the solenoid instead of my

life. i remember when the one day one morning i was sitting at the kitchen table listening to the radio on the she was saying the words, the words, the word this a bad place as indicating say between the lines. it's so good to be not part of the work that we're in the federal. why? that's really we're outside the the pharaoh islands officially belonged to denmark, but i realized early that for the pharaoh ways the kingdom is far away. the islands have been largely o tournament since 1948 over 5 years. there's office yes. minutes or finance? minister of foreign affairs. the federal waves have faced repeated criticism for hunting pilot whales, including by the e. u, which prohibits the hunting of dolphins through various species protection

agreements. just one of the reasons the fairways decided not to join the you. what is your opinion to what's the tradition of for, or against the jim in the truck? i, i must see him i, i'm for because i've, i've participated with account. i have killed several ways. so they live, they free lives in the ocean, and then they're driven into assure i'm the 1st thing they meet that this sharp is . this allows of kids to minutes visual 2nd and then they're done. of course that is suffering because they've driven to the shore and they get distressed. right? but you have to compare with how you get to meet. otherwise, you have to compare it with take stuff to imprison their whole life that live a life with only one person coming from for people. when you compare that to

the killing of pilots with the pilot waiting, killing witness, and then you compare my do you think you can take me to the drop? the one that was here today? yeah, that's the that's the cast take response. he knows perfectly well that it's um, like lea, they'll be a hunt today. it can take days or weeks before the animals this posted in the atlantic. someone will have to call us when one stats witness thing one. well, here on the islands would be in a normal stroke of luck, and i'd have to know the right people. young men are apparently particularly keen on hunting. i look for clues and then delphi mendel, faced with a group of young ro is hired as while one will become

a key figure that they train with wouldn't rolling boats and race village against the village on open water throughout the summer. or we do start like what, like $6060.00 strokes per minute. why can 60 strokes for a minute? i was on the rowing machine in the hotel this morning. this was going to move and i saw the display and i had like 20. okay. yeah, no, they allow me to accompany them anyway. rolling is too hard to to the wouldn't been, she's real caught. the smell of sweat these everywhere. but it's fun. the, fortunately they don't want to go out to see with me. one of the ro is john roy,

who are innocent. he seems to take rolling very seriously. so this is what we do 2 hours a day, or 2 months. the wooden boat is incredibly heavy. we can only get it out of the water if everyone helps. they used to go wailing in similar boats. explains john roy, he's 18 and grew up in the village of good stuff. he works in a small museum nearby and we arrange to meet face. see you again. you do everything okay. yeah. yeah. he shows me the room most popular with tourists, the one with exhibitions about the wailing. this is my station from where when we got bigger groups. oh, okay. and what are these? these are for waiting, right. these are these words, the ovals,

life and those bish and the way of the heavy stuff. now we use the hook, so they are hooked in the level and then there's a role they get beloved and then this will miss the stuff. yeah. that's used for collect with it this very simple. it's very, it's way more humane than the nice me what makes it more humane? when you get to the right spot, this goes into the brain and it goes very deep. so you'll see for quick death. yeah, it's about 2 seconds. mm hm. one or 2 seconds. so it's very quick and you don't have the license, you have right now. they want to do it less than just because some people listen to shepherd or outside the world. and then this the

other half, which is very stubborn. i think i'm a part of the house. i hope the position lives on a couple of the dish. i don't say that it doesn't. we ask john roy, if we can meet his family. his mother doesn't want to be filmed, but he's father john and he's older sister laura agree? the john even cooks for us. well, meat and potatoes, the looks to this is one of our short to songs. got very math in mind. ok. i'm touched by the hospitality, but i've also read that the meat is full of toxic substances. i still want to try

it to understand why it's so important to them. it's really like beef. it's a bit and i think, yeah, i'm surprised. how do you need to know? because before i go 10 years back it is very tooth actually. i don't want to change. i don't know which of their fin reports that the way mean that's american read or you can find that great the there's a guy you under your think about it. oh and i think it's just interesting. it's about it. how do you think about it now? people have tired older than 10 years old. i don't see the problem is one type

of so the this should be the problem. mm. so how dangerous he is? well, me, at least one person on the faro islands says it should have been off the menu for a long time. pulled by hey, is something of a medical luminary here? he's discovered that well meet is toxic because it's full mercury. so much so that he's even detected in breast milk. so what is the difference between a private way lead me to a medically concentration will be $100.00 times lower $100.00 times. yeah, that's a big difference or the muscles and fat as pilot whales contains

lots of mercury and of the toxins. because the animals are at the top of the food chain, where it accumulates, poll says eating, it is particularly dangerous for pregnant women. they post the poisons onto their unborn children. full and his team has been studying the contamination extensively since the 1980s. and what could happen with the highest colors of mockery. it'd be see it on the, on the certificate, the ones that the highly expos group not doing as well in their development. so that way you can not go out there then for you and have the expos, because you have a really year. so something, some research is suspect eating too much, well may contribute parkinson's disease. i will meet once whole, very often when he was young. can you tell the difference? let's do a test. as a homestyle has worked with pull for years, all she needs is a few has. so i assume you stopped

a thing where me long time. i told you the fair lot on my side. there's a spring, i'm really curious to see the results of the mercury test. kind of, i'm already starting to think about what i have a late leaving this side over 75. this is high, low. i have no idea. it's slow. it's slow. i have is a double of yours, that will be quite know more of a refund. what, what is the highest, do you have a message for faulty? oh wow. okay. do site to be so we talk to them people, we advice them gently as, as a will. some of the high expos people don't want to be advised. the poles institute has wound everyone against eating while mates and fat. but we soon

see is woods have had a little effect on wailing on the pharaoh islands the inside of a push to the we would just sitting at the breakfast and got a cold, but they'll be agreed to drop a well slow to today. so i don't know yet whether it's a full salon, but we're trying to get there as quickly as possible. i'm is snape invitation. so that's what it's going to be tight because it's at the other end of the island in the fall. i know they've got some i have to step on it because the ships sort of gave the, the tip came from joan roy's family. the one who says me, well, ghoulish looks like they were right. suddenly i see wayllace boats the unbelievable. i wouldn't have expected this.

you can see the animals here. right now i can only see boats. it's like a wall coming towards us. the wireless or even allowed to drop everything at work to come down here. the funny thing is, is we don't know how they'll react. the wireless don't really like cameras. no idea . what's going to happen is we'll see the animals are still far away. i look for john roy's family and i'm delighted to see him coming straight towards me. hey, john roy, just to meet you. yeah. you do. can you explain what's going on right now? yeah. right now they're driving to wales beach. there is a foreman over on beach news 6, then each person has to do. are you going to participate? and maybe. okay, it's very important that you don't start right on us and stuff then. yeah. so okay

. i don't think anything will happen to us with john roy and his family by my side . but several people want to know who we are they all ask, are you again? no, you can say we're balanced. i'm surprised. it's not just wayllace here. men, women, children, everyone is here. the whole village, apparently, of a old joining in john has a wailing license. that's why he's allowed to take us via the son john roy. he's only allowed to help pull the animals into shallow water. once again, a warning. what's about to happen is not for the faint hearted the

man this, so it'd be for one second to the next. i see john roy's father in the crowd. i get the feeling. everyone knows what to do, but i'm paralyzed completely overwhelmed. and i don't know what to do the thing just 3 minutes. 19 pilot whales, the dead, the, the, the,

the dent anamosa pool back into the water and drag to the harbor. the level i've read so much about it. suddenly you'll standing here and fan. it happens, it will happen so quickly, just kind of started and i can't really say what it's done to me yet. it just happened too fast. i think i need more time to process it emotionally. but there's just something deeply i take about everything becomes of a message that i find on roy and the crown again, it didn't go quite so well. you know,

i don't think anything else in the leg what. what happened? i think someone okay. i thought all the animals had been killed, but then i noticed something and i probably went on the boat, but that doesn't happen too often. i know both the whales sold, survive alone. that's why we are available. this one goes away. if he goes find the book, then the, the did put like wales a boat to the hub. i think about how a moments ago they would just swimming is appalled through the atlantic. and now

they're lying dead neatly arranged in the open the door. i've never seen such a large dead animal how many people can live from, from this grandeur you cat. today continue to say that how many families i've got to meet 200 families on the list and they and then they want to have a piece of me. i can understand that some people get to know if i have to fix it and they tell you why do you do that? can you understand them? because they cannot cheat the whole thing also. so this is uh possible 2 years ago.

and is it even necessary now to say this is one of our few locally we have potatoes, fish cheap, is important. the animals are been slow. every one can help nobody has to pay for the maintenance that it's free. anyone who helped with the hunt or just happens to be to get something the or the

commerce it's quite strange. it's like a folk festival. the whole village is here and everyone is waiting for that piece of meat. for today is a distinct smell. these dead animals, they don't smell particularly good, but nobody's folded their families little children. i saw small children trying out so nice to the 1st time. i can really get a sense of how they're all rolling up around is completely normal for the people who live here. but not for me. for this, joan roy assistant, laura wilson helped spring the meet hun, the . some of our team struggled with building the wailing, and as it turned out, it would not be the last time.

i still can't quite understand why so many people here have no problem with wailing . despite the non health risks. how is doing? that's why i pay elsa. another visit. she collected the hand samples of the research institution. friends. if i was a part of who knew things look 0, we revisit the topic of mercury in wyoming. so the bad effects are very well known on the satellites. there was a study from 2014 to show that 99 percent of the people who are asked have heard about the advisory for they don't follow the advice. everybody knows what's on everybody, but the young women, they follow that in place. and because they are the ones who the,

their to children else's friends around life. most of them don't eat way a little dolphin made by want to know why. i don't need it because they feel like the face of it. but like my husband is like, um, crazy about the really is just something in his body. and he also has a bone. so like, yeah, he loves it. i remember some kids i, i'd like to see small ones like there and didn't like it. but, but you can use like every everything else. and then it's just a part of it's just part of the fairways tradition. yeah. most barrow ways are politically conservative and local politics the dominated by man. i

want to know whether that's a fact of it. for example, politically no one talks about stuffing filing will. it's nothing, no a issue. it's really a help. they do it as a politician, you are against the pilot wailing. you get know what, how the impression that maybe people and their friends, the sound of you know, you're saying yeah, maybe not for that mandate. don't go to been not the women on the islands, hardly 8 wyoming anymore, especially if they want to have children. but most of the men just carry on by so this would be the end of the film, but things turn out differently. we get would have another hyundai, the last thing we've just gotten a 1st,

we thought we wouldn't get a chance to film this at all. but now we've received our 2nd tip. i think that's because we've gotten to know these people. now. we've learned a bit of the trust. they know we want cause trouble when we come to see and film see fit. the wolf is read, they stuff that the roadside is already pretty full when we arrive, something is different. the choice doesn't tend on the beach, but at a small cliff the she says that we were a little late this time. look, one is getting away from the wireless or having trouble catching one of the wales the

they just weren't let us get away. now man of jumping into the yards and water and trying to somehow get on top of the wild. how do i get time zones? i told us the hunts usually ends quickly, and the 1st one we saw went really fast. this, but this one's getting out of hand. the animal keeps getting away towards it, and it's a real fight to the desk now. to the boats keeps sending it back towards land with the whalers, a waiting list. he's still alive. this is intense. the fight for life and death goes on for half an hour. right in front of my eyes. dozens of young man, a standing in the cold war, so they just don't want to let the way of god just as they don't want to let go of their tradition. something i've really learned during this trip to the pharaoh islands. the. i've also learned something about myself. i couldn't hunt and kill pilot whales. could you

the to the phone bag. v sick of the name of what about the key point 6 times. more likely to have voice and long functions as compared to mid air pollution? the biggest health problem for everyone working outdoors in denny bus or ran, this is increasing and there is no drive for more protection and less pollution eco india. in 30 minutes on the w face fighting the way to the p, as in twitter,
