One of our most read stories ever on Denmark.net is "Denmark's Whale Massacre - Myth or Truth?", a story about the yearly whale slaughter taking place each August on the Faroe Islands. Not only advocates of environmental preservation and animal rights are enraged by this practice, but it appears our readers around the world condemn it.

And so do we. We believe it's time to end this tradition once and for all and to save the whales.

We ask for your support. Put one of the banners below on your website or blog, and Like/Share this page.

Please submit your vote in support of this campaign below. We will present the votes and the campaign at the end of the year 2010 to the prime minister of the Faroe Islands, Kaj Leo Johannesen.

Have you ever considered Denmark as a destination for your family holiday? We will give you three convincing reasons to go to Denmark for your next holiday, and we will let you in on a little secret about holiday homes in Denmark.

Let's start with why you should go to Denmark for your family holiday.

If you are in Denmark (or the rest of Europe, for that matter), your chances to get an iPad before the end of May are pretty slim. Apple unfortunately just announced a further shipping delay of the iPad, pushing it out until the end of May at the earliest.

Good that there is Denmark.net. We got three iPads under our posession, and we are going to give two of them to you!

The Danish parliament passed a resolution that requires all dogs to be painted with a 15cm (6 inch) wide version of the Danish flag, the Dannebrog. The goal is to improve road safety by making dogs more visible at night. Denmark reported 7,000 road casualties in 2007.

The team from Denmark.net wishes you and your families a Merry Christmas and happy holidays. We hope you have a chance to take a step back from the daily life and enjoy the festivities.

Today's Danish cuisine is still inspired by the old icountry kitchen and the cold and wet weather conditions in Denmark. For example, take the salted-smoked and brine-pickled food that could be stored for very long time. The pearls of Danish cuisine are smoked herring from the island of Bornholm also known as gold from the sea, pickled herring enjoyed with Akvavit (Danish snaps) and the Danish cheeses are musts in the Nordic cuisine.
