Falkland Islands - Jimmy the ex-whaler

Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).
This mini-documentary focuses of exploring the fascinating whaling history of the Southern Ocean. The Falkland Islands were an important stopping point for explorers and later, the whaling fleets that operated in the waters surrounding Antarctica. Jimmy Smith is one of the last Falkland Islanders who worked in the whaling stations and on the whaling ships, and in this film, he shares some of his stories and insights.

Santa WhY are you killing whales?!

[@dhabyany]

I know right? So many were slaughtered (in the film he says 1000s every year) 😭😡

[@ya-silly-goose623]

The poor whales were flayed and harvested while likely still alive, from the sounds of it. Terrifying.
