    Farm and slaughter house are more barbaric and they kill to sell. If no one buys it, they’ll just throw it and makes the animal’s life put to waste. These people in Faroe islands kill whales only to eat and not to make a profit. The only difference is, people don’t see what happens inside the farm and how they waste animal’s life. Search about foie gras and wagyu, you’ll be surprised how evil the process is.

      @@BeBraveToAct i know what you mean but the Signal crayfish is never good outside from its Natural Habitat (north America) it Brings a diseas that european (crayfish) species are not familiar with and die from IT while the north American are immune. And furthermore they spread fast and eat almost anything in contrast to european crayfish which are more of specialists. that could be a reason there is only few Vegetation and other Life forms in the Lake... To be clear: there are 3 north American crayfish species (kaliko, Signal & kamber) introduced to Europe and all of them are a thread to the native biodiversity here, there is No in between.

      oh wow, you figured out from that green underwater video that it's Signal crayfish ! I was sure that's the native one. Thank you very much for such detailed information, really interesting. I think there should be some programs of removing them, similar maybe to Lionfish in Mediterranean sea when divers hunt for them, because it's exactly the same problem as you described with the crayfish.

    Hi Dima! When l've seen the name of this video my first thought was: "why burning? why not cutting this wood to transport and give it to locals? Or creating a wood storage for future campers and other tourists?". But when l started watching l realised that island is too far from mainland, it is uninhabited and rarely visited, so it doesn't make sense to transport or store this wood. You're doing great job showing people that if everyone would be involved in small local projects, consume less, save electricity and so on we'll restore wildlife habutats and create a better world for all of us. Thank you! 🌲🌳🌾

    • @BeBraveToAct
      @BeBraveToAct Місяць тому

      Thank you very much Olga. We had a long discussion about burning. Everyone agrees it's not really good solution, but probably the best in such circumstances. There were a lot piles which were left 2 years ago. And no one was using them. Of course we took some wood to the camp, and actually left larger logs which someone can use to build a fences or for burning in the house or camping site. But most of the wood we had to burn.

    It is disturbing to see a historical practice, once tied to survival, now devolved into an act of collective cruelty. This massacre no longer has anything to do with respecting traditions, but rather seems to satisfy destructive instincts. By showing their children that death can be dealt so easily, without thought or respect, they are sowing violence instead of empathy. Teaching the next generation that life, in all its forms, is precious should be our legacy, not one of senseless slaughter that disrupts the balance of our world.
