I dont think thats denmark, its some small island between Ice land and finland and its a yearly festival where the boats capture the migrating whales and corral them to the shore where the locals kill them or "harvest" them. Since theres not much that grows on the island, and you can't have much livestock this tradition has persevered as one of the only means for the island to get sustenance...

true true, that is horrible when you compare it to how we treat our food.
I know that chickens are cuddled and given a gentle hugs to produce more eggs,
pigs are given any food of their choice before going to the funhouse,
and those cows... those cows are having their breast fondled to obtain orgasmic pleasure.

Threat to the whale population
There is a raging debate about whether the pilot whale hunt represents a significant threat to pilot whale populations; the actual size of the Northeast Atlantic pilot whale population is a subject of debate between different organizations. The figure accepted by the International Whaling Commission's Scientific Committee is the 778,000 animals obtained by the North Atlantic Sightings Survey in 1992. Those in favour of whaling, such as the North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission in their 1997 and 1999 report on the hunt,[17] say that this is a conservative estimate, whilst those opposed to the hunt, such as the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society say the figure is over-estimated. If the figure is accepted, then the average kill from 1990–1999 of 956 animals per year, represents a little more than 0.1% of the population, which the commission has deemed sustainable.In its Red List of Threatened Species the IUCN lists both the Long-finned and Short-finned Pilot Whales with "Data Deficient" status according to its 2008 assessment. In a previous assessment in 1996 the organization listed the species in the "Lower Risk/least concern" category. However, the IUCN also says that with an estimated subpopulation size of 778 000 in the eastern North Atlantic and approximately 100 000 around the Faroes, Faroese catches of 850 per year are probably sustainable.[18]
According to the American Cetacean Society — a whale protectionist group — pilot whales are not considered endangered. The society cites that there are likely about 1 000 000 long-finned and at least 200 000 short-finned pilot whales worldwide.[19]
