Her Child Was Torn From Her Body. It's Almost Impossible To View These Images
Some things happen in this world that seem to pull the rug from under our feet. Whether it is because they are unjust and heartless. Or unnecessary and pointless. Or simply inhuman and shameful. 

Warning: Following photos are quite graphic, but it helps raise awareness around an ongoing issue. 
Birita_Blahamar  THE HYPOCRISY AND LIES OF SEA SHEPHERD It is just more comfortable for some people buying the meat in the store all nicely packed in plastic with no visual blood anywhere. That way they can abstract from the killing of the animal and feel good about themselves when they eat a steak and probably they can convince themselves that no animal was harmed for their meal, but for us who live closer to nature and actually know where our meat comes from, it is a fact of life that an animal has to die for us to get a meal. You don´t see the slaughter and the blood of a cow, a chicken or a pig, but that does not mean, that it´s not there. It´s just nicely hidden from the public eye, so that people can feel good about themselves and abstract from visualizing the blood. You don´t see how the animal is treated prior to the killing or what kind of life it had prior to the killing. Our Grindadráp takes place in open nature and we have nothing to hide. The pilot whales live free in the ocean their whole lives until the killing, which is done as fast and humane as possible, but of course the ocean turns red of the blood, just like a glass of water would if i got a papercut and held my finger over the water. This is natural and does not make the killling any worse than any other killing of animals for consumption. The problem is that people that have no connection to nature have lulled themselves to sleep all cuddled up in the belief that they can eat and survive without any animals dying or at least they don´t have to worry about how their KFC chickenwings were killed because they can abstract from that side of the story. I mean, didn´t their meal come all nicely packed in a bucket ? The double cheese burger has no connection to a cow, it just popped out of McDonalds wrapped in paper ! Long live hypocrisy....
Birita_Blahamar  Sea Shepherd - educate yourselves ! A lot of SS members claim that the poor faroese children must get affected by the Grindadráp in a negative and harmful way so that they become violent and scarred for life, but in fact faroese children are well balanced and in harmony with nature. Surely the Grindadráp is a scene of death and blood but our children understand why animals are killed. We also have thousands of sheep on the islands and a great number are killed every year for consumption. This is something that most of the children are involved in as their families own the sheep and this is a natural part of life when you are living close to nature and kill animals for consumption only. I am glad that my children know where their food comes from and proud that they do not think that meat only is something well packed in plastic in the store and have no knowledge of it´s origin. Our heritage is that of the fishermen and farmers and we take great pride in only killing for consumption. Every part of the sheep is used, sweaters are knitted from the wool and so on. The whale meat is distributed free amongst the people of our islands and often with great consideration of the elderly, for whom it is of great value. Faroese whaling has never been commercial and never will be. After the Grindadráp the bones and other remains are taken care of and there have never been bones from whales lying around our beaches. About the mercury pollution of the whale meat, there is only one thing to say : Stop polluting our oceans, please !
tango H  WOW imagine that. People killing for food? they actually eat it! Wonder where you food comes from? McDonalds? They grow chicken McNuggets?

This Sleeping Firefighter Got What He Deserved! I Can't Stop Laughing!
This drowsy fireman learned a valuable lesson that day: NEVER doze off around a bunch of prank-happy firefighters. The ending is HYSTERICAL!
Heather M  Firefighter and EMS are notorious for pranks. They may not always be nice but they are necessary. It's how they blow off steam. These people meet other people on the worst day of their lives. They are overworked and underpaid. They deal with death, destruction and horrific situations all the time. Jokes and pranks is how they deal with it. We shouldn't judge them. I can guarantee that the sleeping firefighter has played pranks like this before. It's just the way it is. It is necessary as a coping mechanism. My hubby is a paramedic and my dad was an EMT...I was an EMT too. These guys have each others backs. They are brothers...and they act as such. Why do you think they have so many chores...to keep them out of trouble. They are like big kids. Don't judge what you don't understand.
Leah R  Really ... come on he's tired... being the mom of a fire fighter/emt he is always at work . He doesn't get enough sleep .... I know they work you at all hours and long time. Kuddos to all of you for your dedication and service... Please get the sleep you need if you can find the time (it would be good for your health) after your religious duties, family time, personal time, and other jobs you do to bring money into your families. May God Bless You All.
Fiona F  Was it a funny joke? Maybe. Did he "get what he deserved"? Certainly not. As a good many military folks will tell you, you get what sleep you can when you can. Fire fighters, paramedics and police officers are our unsung military, who put their lives and limbs on the line everyday to keep us safe and sound. Give the kid a break.

This Guy Was Trying To Scam Her. But He Wasn't Ready For THIS! My Jaw DROPPED.
We've seen THIS scam before. A guy lays down in front of traffic in an attempt to be hit, non-fatally, with the goal of winning some settlement on behalf of the driver's insurance. Why's this one different? Well, she didn't see him!

Share this one with your friends. They'll be as shocked as you are.

She Photographed Herself Everyday For A Year. The End Is What Really Got To Me.
This just looked like another one of those videos where someone takes a picture of themselves every day of the year, but by the end I had realized it was something much different.
Rachel W  I want to see an ad like this for abused men. It happens often and it needs to be talked about more so men are less afraid to ask for help
Melissa C  The people commenting on here saying call 911 or leave are absolutely ignorant. First off, it appears she's not living in a free country. But even if she was leaving is not so easy. I was in an abusive marriage for 13 years. And it did not start out bad at all. He was in the Air Force and started verbally abusing me after we married. We moved to Japan where I was isolated from all friends and family. The verbal abuse slowly turned to physical abuse and stayed that way for years. Eventually, I realized I had to leave, I was strong enough to leave. 3 children, and 3 countries later, I got on a plain with my 3 kids and flew home to my family. I couldn't allow my children to live that life. I found my strength through them. But it took 5 years to heal, I've since remarried a good man that loves me and my kids. Being married to a jerk taught me to listen to your gut and it taught me how to run from the jerks. I'm a stronger person now than ever. And my kids live in a safe loving home. I am an American citizen and was lucky enough to have the freedom to leave. Many women don't and it needs to change. Women are equal!!! Even if this is an add, it's an add about real life. Stop judging, you don't know what you'd do until it happens. Which I hope it doesn't.
Valerie J  You can see the sadness in her eyes as the days go on.
