1, this is their history and culture: Lianhe Zaobao reported that residents of the Faroe Islands in Denmark hold cruel and bloody whale killing activities every summer. According to the Daily Express and Reuters, this year's "Whale Killing Conference" has just ended. For a long time, animal rights protection organizations have strongly criticized this activity, believing that it is not only cruel but also unnecessary. However, most residents think this is an important part of their history and culture. It is understood that as early as the 10 century, this kind of whaling and slaughter activity has been popular in the local area. The whale hunters first arranged the boats in a semicircle to surround the whales, and then slowly drove them into the bay. After that, the men on the island will launch a massacre and kill these whales with various weapons. Then, they cut off the whale meat and distributed it to the residents of the island equally.
2, whale meat can be eaten, fat can be made into oil, used in medicine and other industries.
The famous "Long Xianxiang" secreted by sperm whales is the raw material for making expensive perfume. The purchase price per kilogram is between 654.38+0-45000 francs.
The teeth of toothed whales and narwhals are highly regarded as ivory carvings. Moreover, in medieval Europe, the horn of narwhal was sold as the horn of unicorn, which is said to have detoxification function.
In the past, whale fat played a very important role. It is the raw material of many light industries and chemical industries. It can be used to make soap, candles and lipstick, involving many industries. Cod liver oil extracted from whales is also one of the products that people in many countries rely on. For a real candlelight dinner, the candles used are all made of whale oil.
The nutritional value of whale milk is extremely high, but it has not been popularized. (fortunately, it's not popular, otherwise it's really extinct)
Whale meat is edible, and some ethnic groups are used to eating whale meat for historical and folk reasons. Japanese often eat whale meat, and the seafood market is also very common. This is also the reason why Japanese whaling ships often clash with environmental organizations.
