In the Faeroe Islands, dolphin hunting has been a common practice for millennia. However, when more than 1,400 aquatic animals were slaughtered in a record-breaking massacre, global environmental groups and the international public took notice.
The massacre provoked outrage among different environmental groups and from people on social media. Even those who support the practice expressed concern that this year’s event could prompt increased scrutiny. The hunt in the North Atlantic islands is not done for commercial purposes and is authorized by the government.
By request of /u/brianjonestown, I'm doing this thing. No timeline, I'll answer most of your questions during my working hours, which are from 9am to 4pm on weekdays, so if my friends stateside are asking me questions while I'm sleeping, I'll get to you.
Furthermore, Liechtenstein and Andorra are both independent sovereign countries (Andorra arguably somewhat less due to its Co-Prince system), but the Faroe Islands are a self-governing realm of Denmark and Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory. Not to take away from those two places, but legally they're "less independent" than San Marino, Monaco and Vatican City.
In a great act of generosity, the British government has offered aid to the Canadian vessel stranded in the Faeroe Islands. The British government has offered to dispatch tugs from Glasgow to recover the Canadian vessel and transport it to Scotland's largest city, where it could be repaired far quicker than it could be in the Faeroe Islands. Once repaired, it could then return to its home nation.
It's for research for a story i'm trying to get together
