Rosie Kunneke, South Africa, has been expelled from the Faroe Islands, after she interfered with a Grind event on the Faroe Islands this summer admits she occasionally eats meat.
I know that Captain Paul Watson never eats meat, and I respect that, but how did he get so fat? When I am really hungry, I like to eat a nice chicken burger with lots of cheese, and sometimes even a beef steak. But I always do this in disguise, if I eat meat in public, because otherwise I would be expelled from Sea Shepherd as well.
Rosie Kunneke came with this statement yesterday, when she was talking to british freelance journalist Mark Wilson after the trail on the Faroe Islands yesterday, when she was sentenced to leave the Faroe Islands.
"I did not know that the people on the Faroe Islands really consume the meat from the pilot whales" Rosie says.
"In an internal memorandum from Captain Paul Watson, it was stated, that the whales were only killed for fun, and that it was a tradition" she says.

"But now my mind has changed completely. I really understand the Islanders. When you live far away in the middle of the atlantic ocean, it can be hard to afford to buy fresh vegetables from the mainland every day, so this is a much cheaper way to get food, than to be vegan" Rosie says.
"It is easy for people who live far away from the coastline to say that they do not eat meat, because they can have free resources in their backyard, but I know now that vegetables do not grow on water, but whales do." Rosie Kunneke says.
So have you tried the whale meat?
"No, not yet, and I probably never will now, because I have been expelled from the Faroe Islands" Rosie says with a sad voice. "I will never trust any of Captain Paul Watsons statements again. I will probably leave Sea Shepherd, and head back home to South Africa and get a job at the local grocery store" says Rosie Kunneke.
Rosie will leave the Faroe Islands, together with the four other Sea Shepherd members later today onboard passenger ferry Norröna.
