to know even more and the days to come and that's it for me and the team for now i'll have an update for you at the top of the out to not go away next up as adult, filled with a look at why wait hunting is still practiced practiced on the firewall that's got all this in a barrel and from the end approved. the claim was like a stepping points. it's, you know, find what you into that warranty wants to finish your studies. now you have a safety from your train. you can choose to go back or somewhere else currently, more people than ever on the move in such a base in life categories. something that is coming very very soon. and yeah, can we learn more about or know when a story info, migraines, the the,

i'm going to a baby on the pharaoh islands to a pilot whale homes. samsung. i'm scared of physics often. lots of people have trying to fill them 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 being shot out of the the times that being 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 for each hard to watch these documentary tells the story of how i go through it and why it is bloody tradition still exists. the

of the my name is christy, and i'm sitting next to me is andreas who does the editing. we made a film in september 2021, about a dolphin hunt on the pharaoh islands for a german news channel. more than 1400 dolphins were killed here. and in just a single day present data these, these images went around the world in 2021 because no one had ever documented sloth or of 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 have 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 why a people still killing pilot whales and other adults since here the my travel a lot. but it looks different here, wild and rough. we headed to the capital to shown when most of the sarah weeks live. the perfect place to meet people who can introduce us to the world of wild hunters. as his father's cut off, i am waiting for pet to a young man who lives here on the pharaoh island. he's also a filmmaker that w shop that footage back in 2021. i don't. so i want him to take me to the place where it all happened. status. okay. you must

have had to. yeah. hey, good to me too. is it possible that you bring me to the place where the drum was last time? yeah, it takes 15 minutes so its not far away. okay, perfect. let's try to see go to cro 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 silence before, but you can feel that the athens various like okay, everyone's getting ready. everyone that's participating. it's 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 do us do it as fast as possible . the pet to us said he didn't take part in the hunt back then instead he filled this voltage. 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 hunch, the slow as it took at least half an hour. but have you ever seen a slaughter like this before? like this one? no. but what is it crossing the opinion through a thing that should stop or isn't it? okay, let's continue. see on the phone. it's complicated. when i was young, i joined into grins and i wanted to be a part of the grand support my father and getting foods. it was something that was

valuable. but then i went to the other the other day virus. i was against it more or less. how could that be a tradition or killing animals that way? that's where you're from. some, uh, some traditions are more fruitful for all the 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 couldn't even some people have called with a gift from 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.

this man eating usually is in some what interest, listen. pay to his father and the way left. his mother doesn't want to be filmed in so on. 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 city kid like me, why they que wiles here. that's all this, this picture. because when you go to germany, you would never see a painting of kidding picks or cows in your living room. but you have that here by the class. you or because we are close to the nature you, you have you ever seen that been killed? no, probably not, because it's behind close stores. and here to to kindergarten, go to a just lot of houses 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 the intelligent animals as well. thousands are very intelligent. so why do you think it's right to kill these kind of most anyhow? for just in case wrong? i'm not saying that i'm just asking you, why are things right? i'm more i working with people that extremely low intelligent intelligence giving me several. it gives me the right to kill animal. i'm really wrong for me doing it for food and we eat dolphins. so that's why the cost was from a teacher. yeah. and seems irritated. see, the why it was know that most non pharaoh ways don't understand. and to pose the way, like we watch a video by c shepherd, an organization that is campaigned against

a home to use the animal rights activists and many of the locals. the folks that are doing the music and there was a height of the mind. yeah. with this video calling sound, as 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 and that's 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 fjord here and send this to her. so many young people is at work. i wish i would do with all that because and even teach them so many of their work 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 it 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. there are ways cold for us and like they have for hundreds of years. the hunters then rush out to sea and drive the animals into the feud with the boats to kill 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 say the animals are nothing dangerous. hundreds of thousands leaving the seas. they don't understand why active us still have a problem with whaling sizes. 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. the finding them is not that easy, said 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 cameras filming the courtyard as we arrive. they were installed after the teen suspected that car had been tampered with work by made alexandra electric from poland upside to confine. why did you decide to come to the fair rod and i'm in my info just so i started to start and 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 is just a side, something that i personally think shouldn't be happening anymore. but do you understand the people say like a fish haven't it's not really interested in our tradition. they just take the

pictures, put some traumatic music over it, and just chow 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 viewers that you saw necessary anymore, so necessary suffering for the honorable samuel rust and his 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 defy, can be, and 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 other was no, that's a wall behind them. and there's like land on these sites. and there's only one way to go. a path to a little bit in the your offices, you have the argument while we're killed because we've done is it always true that the eat the whole animal as 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 there's, they're easily accessible just onto the floor and many of them leap rest back to 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 the school teacher the different gorge it supposedly from 2022 and proves the fairways 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 raised 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? well, does ideally, but it's all really possible. i would say it's so difficult problem, but dealing with a has 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 do side their business or are they will have a struggle in social situations. 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 really good to me through it. it's krista, is there good to get us do? said with a big with these is to do a scarlet piece. considered a colorful character on these for most islands. he was an actor and generalist. and this know 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 one the one day one morning i was sitting at the kitchen table listen to the radio on the she was saying the words, the word, the word this a bad place as indicating say between the lines. it's so good to be not part of that's where we're in the federal why that's we're we're outside the pharaoh islands officially belonged to denmark, but i realized early that so the pharaoh weighs the kingdom is far away. the islands have been largely o tournament since 1948 over 5 years. this office is minister of finance minister of foreign affairs. the pharaoh ways have faced repeated criticism for a 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 gym in the truck? i, i must be see, and i, i'm for because i've, i've participated with account. i have killed several wins. so they live, they free lives in the ocean, and then they're driven into sure, i'm the 1st thing they meet up this sharp is. this allows with cubes 10 minutes. and then there, of course there is suffering because they driven to the shore and they get distressed press. 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, with killing witness, and then you compare my opinion. do you think you can take me to agree and address the one that was here today? yeah, that's a sarcastic response. he knows perfectly well that it's um, likely there will be a hunt today. it can take days or weeks before the animals are supposed in the atlantic. someone will have to coolest when one starts witnessing 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 down the middle faced with

a group of young ro is hired as while one will become a key figure. that's why 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 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 sea with me. one of the ro is, is john roy, who are innocent. he seems to take rolling very seriously. so this is what we do 2 hours every 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 goods. 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 were the ovals, like 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 one is the the, yeah, that's used for killing gwen. mm hm. it is very simple. it's very, it's way more humane than the knife. mm. hm, what makes it more humane. when you get to the right spot, this goes into brand and it goes very deep. so you'll see for a quick death. yeah, it's about 2 seconds. mm hm. one or 2 seconds. so it's very quick and you don't have to license yet. right now. they want to do it. yeah. why that, that them just because some people listen to the

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. are the same. right. as 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 agreed. the john even cooks for us. well, meat and potatoes, the looks delicious. one of our short this songs got very mouth and, and okay, 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. if it's a bit to their feet. yeah. i'm surprised. how do you need to know because before you go 10 years back it is very tooth actually. i don't want to change. i don't know which of the and the pin 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. yeah. who think about it now

people have tired older than 10 years old. i don't see the problem is one type of to this should be the problem. mm. so how dangerous he is? well, me, at least one person on the pharaoh islands says it should have been off the menu for a long time. pulled by hay is something of a medical luminary. he at least discovered that oil. meat is toxic because it's full of 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. the muscles in fast 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. paul 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. i'm not doing as well in their development. so that way you can not go out there then for you are highly exposed because you haven't really years or 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 pair that 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 wait and late leaving was this side over 75. this is high, low. i has no idea, it's slow, it's slow. i have to dump a lot of yours. that will be quite know more of a refund. what. what is the highest, do you have a message for faulty? yeah. oh wow. okay, do site to be sweet, talk to them, people, we advice them gently if there's a will. some of the high expos people don't want to be advised. the

poles institute has wound every one against eating while mates and fat. but we soon see his words have had a little effect on wailing on the pharaoh islands the inside of a post. and we would just sitting at 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 snipping resolution, so that's what it's going to be tied because it's at the other end of the island in the fall. i know 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 to me, way a ghoulish looks like they were right. suddenly i see wayllace boats

the unbelievable suit. i wouldn't have expected this. you can't see the animals here. right now. i can only see boats. it's like a wall coming towards us. the whalers, they're even allowed to drop everything at work to come down here. the funding nice thing 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 and he's 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. stuff doesn't. and 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 on 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 house. 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 cottage, 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. 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 that. suddenly you're standing here and then it happens. it will happen so quickly, it's 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 don't really in the crowd. again, it didn't go quite so well. you know,

i don't think anything else. intellect. uh what, what happened? i think someone okay. i thought all the animals had been killed, but then i noticed something but i probably went on the boat, but that doesn't happen too often right now. but the waves don't 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 bro to the hub. i think about how

a moments ago they would just swimming is appalled through the atlantic. and now they are lying dead neatly arranged in the open. the, i've never seen such a large dead animal how many people can live from, from this grandeur you can 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 peace of mind can you understand that some people get annoyed by the picture 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

a few years ago. and is it even necessary now to say this is one of our few locally we have to pay those fish cheap. everything else is important. the animals have been slow to. everyone 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. so 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 the noise to the 1st time. i can really get a sense of how they're all growing up around is completely normal for the people who live here. but not for me. for this, joan roy, assistant, laura also helped spring the meet hunt. 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 hassle and pals of the research institution. friends. if i was a part of the thing club 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 asked 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 it doesn't taste well, like the taste of it. but like my husband is like, um, crazy about uh oh really is just something in his body. and he also has a boat. 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 to 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, a dominated by man. i want to know whether that's a fact of it. for example, politically no one talks about stuffing filing with 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 in their 2017 years you're saying yeah, maybe not for that mandate. don't go to the, the women on the islands. hardly 8 wyoming anymore, especially if they want to have children. but most of the men just carry on i thought 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 it 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 feel safe fit. the wolf is red light 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. i having trouble catching one of the wales the

they just weren't let it 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 and it's a real fight to the desk. now, you know, i wish to the boat's keeps sending it back towards land with the whalers, a waiting list. today 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 answer is the conflict zone with the best in here as the munich security conference, as cynthia in security and conflict, providing the politicians and as far as the world reached a dangerous inflection point. my guess is we have a 2nd live experience with the highest significant levels in the us. nancy pelosi, well, who's calling? d w. b 's from is involved as
