i know that we are as bad in some respects, but to willingly kill thousands of whales, dolphins because its the culture is way off the scale of humankind.

I won't sign. I am very much against animal cruelty and captive whales and orcas but this band is from the Faroe Islands and I am no more going to complain about those Islanders hunting and eating whales than I am going to complain about Innuits doing the same.
I might object to the singer's stance on violence towards the objectors, though.

The Faroe Islands' biggest ever dolphin massacre: Fishermen kill 1,428 animals - FORTY TIMES the usual death toll - after herding them into harbour for annual Grindadrap hunt
The tradition which dates back to the 9th century sees boats driving the animals towards the shore
There hunters await in the shallows with hooks, knives and spears to kill the Atlantic White Sided Dolphins
Activists have condemned the practice as 'barbaric' but locals say it is an important part of their culture

So, emmie, you think it is acceptable for killer whales to be kept in captivity and forced to perform for fun, to make profit for the company, but unacceptable for people to kill similar animals for food, fuel and clothing?
If you thought about some of our practices concerning animals and poultry for food you might them to be barbaric, too, such as the 45 million chicks put in crushers every year.

Can't see banning a group from performing will do much good. The members have not broken any laws.
You can't compare fox hunting in the UK to the Faroe Islanders hunting whales - as far as I know we never ate fox.
We are still culling badgers and deer.
I do not appreciate interference from other countries that disapprove of my culture, my eating habits or the way I live my life within the laws of the UK.

Of course I'll sign. What's it like up there barry on your moral high horse ?? I suggest you watch the films of this barbarity and look at the picture on the petition page, a defenceless baby ripped from its poor mother ! So what if bad things are done here in this country, how on earth does that stop you from wanting to help stop cruel practices in other countries ?? You sound so damn smug ...
I'm sure our routine meat-eating habit results in millions of sentient creatures (i.e. those who feel physical pain and mental pain) being slaughtered each year here in the UK. Just because other animals eat them doesn't give any solace to those animals who are raised in bad conditions and treated as, well, nothing at all really - just disposable lumps of meat with no brains. It saddens me that many people never even think about it; young kids often don't know where that pink stuff in plastic wrap comes from.
There are so many cruel practices going on around the world which make me sick. Bullfighting is another one. Why, just why?! Humans killing an animal instantly for food I can understand despite me being mainly a plant based eater, but deliberately causing suffering is something I will never understand.
tigger; it's part of human nature, unfortunately. Fortunately, I think most people don't enjoy inflicting suffering on other animals. But nowadays most people are remote from the raising and killing and general interaction with animals, and so they don't have to think about what their lifestyle is doing.
