#grindstop #Denmark a country of barbarians!! Butchered on the beach: Whales heard 'screaming in agony' as 33 were slaughtered while witnesses 'laughed and cheered' An Australian woman is one of 14 anti-whaling protesters who have been arrested on the Faroese Island of Sandoy on Saturday, after unsuccessfully trying to stop the mass slaughter of 33 pilot whales. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society volunteers entered the water to prevent the massacre, when they were allegedly intercepted by the Danish Navy. Amongst the arrested volunteers was Australian citizen, Krystal Keynes from Perth. According to the society's founder the land and boat crew heard the whales 'screaming in agony.' 'Men, women and children flocked to the beach, laughing and cheering as if they were at a birthday party, eager to see and smell the spurting blood,' their founder, Captain Paul Watson appears to have written on his Facebook page. Eight of the small boat crew and six other Sea Shepherd members onshore were arrested by officers, who are pictured wearing uniforms emblazoned with the word 'Politi' - Danish for 'Police.' Both Faroese and Danish police reportedly arriving at the scene by helicopter. Denmark is a member of the European Union, meaning they are an Anti-Whaling Member Nation and subject to laws that prohibit the slaughter of cetaceans. The Faroese are exempt from the EU restrictions. Sea Shepherd report that the whales were deliberately driven into shore by a vessel to be killed at the shoreline. Footage shows the Sea Shepherd volunteers being forcibly taken into custody by police on the shore, whilst the whales are brutally hacked to death on the water’s edge behind them. Sea Shepherd founder Captain Paul Watson accuses the Danish navy of showing its support for Faroese whalers, explaining that by intervening with the Sea Shepherd volunteers the Danish navy assisted in the illegal slaughter of 33 whales. For 85 days, the volunteers have been defending whales from slaughter as a part of ‘Operation Grindstop 2014.’ The Sea Shepherd activists use boats to direct pods of whales away from the threat of whalers on the 18 Faroe islands. Three of the Sea Shepherd vessels were seized by the navy, including the ‘B.S. Sheen’ – a small boat that was donated by American actor, Charlie Sheen, who has spoken out against ‘atrocity’ that took place on Saturday. 'The Faroese whalers brutally slaughtered an entire pod of 33 pilot whales today, several generations taken from the sea, and Denmark is complicit in the killing,' actor Charlie Sheen told the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in a statement from the foundation. 'I am proud that a vessel bearing my name was there and did all it could to try to stop this atrocity.' 'The 40-foot Zodiac called the 'BS SHEEN' that I donated to Mr. Watson's tireless and heroic efforts, has been shamefully seized. This level of insidious and vicious corruption must be dealt with swiftly and harshly,' reportedly told the Foundation. 'The positive side of this encounter is we now have evidence to implicate the Danish government and Sea Shepherd will take this evidence to the European Parliament to demand that action be taken against Denmark for collaboration with an illegal slaughter of whales,' Captain Watson wrote on his official Facebook page. 'We have the evidence that pilot whale blood in on the hands of Danish sailors and Danish Police. What is rotten in the Faroes is also very much rotten in Denmark.' 'Sea Shepherd calls upon all of its supporters to speak out against this horrific loss of life. Please contact the government of Denmark and ask them to end the horrific, archaic ‘grind’ and release Sea Shepherd volunteers at once.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2738948/Australian-anti-whaling-activist-arrested-Faro-Denmark-accused-assisting-mass-slaughter-33-point-whales.html
