Cruiselines should stop going to Faroe until the hunts stop, or the cruiselines should shut the f up. Its just lip service without tangible action.

Cruiselines should f off anyway, because we're at the start of an ever growing climate crisis and cruise ships are the worst carbon emitters of all passenger transports. Those meat eating hypocrites aboard need a lesson in how we treat animals and the planet these days.

Oh brother, here we go with the malnourished vegans again...I'm with you on the "fuck off cruiselines" bit, but for fucks sake...

I mean it's partly the passengers desires that lead them there, cruise lines don't just pick arbitrary ports, they go where people want.

They shouldn't have apologized at all, they should have just been like "and this is what Faroe is like at this time of year, you're welcome that we were able to show you this unique experience"
