    Every year, hundreds of cetaceans are slaughtered in the Faroe Islands, an endless slaughter, a 'local tradition', where anyone who wants to can participate. Here's the whole truth behind the Sea Shepherd investigation.





    A real slaughter: cruel and useless. Images that make you shiver: Atlantic whales and dolphins slaughtered in a sea of ​​blood. For centuries now, the 'Grindadráp ', or whaling in the Danish archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean.

    From July to September, hundreds of cetacean families are killed here armed with knives and harpoons. First frightened and forced to bathe, then stabbed by the vents and then severed in the spinal cord.

    An unprecedented violence, between the shouts and the suffering of these adorable animals. For years, Sea Shepherd has been fighting against this absurd practice and in recent days has concluded an undercover operation in the Faroe Islands.

    Last summer, volunteers from the organization that protects the inhabitants of the sea presented themselves as ordinary tourists. The goal is to monitor and document whale and dolphin hunting.
    The operation Bloody Fjords it saw the participation of patrols that for ten weeks, between July and early September, kept an eye on the Danish Islands.

    The crew members then collected evidence of the annual Ice Petrel hunt, documented the public slaughtering demonstration of cetaceans in Klaksvik, and, for the first time, the transport for processing their meat and subsequent sale to the main supermarket. by Torshavn.


    But back to the Faroe Islands, the ocean conservation team saw how cetaceans are being pushed to the beach, all happening under the gaze of tourists and children who find themselves in front of a bloody scene.


    And according to the volunteers it is not uncommon to see the little ones approaching the dead whales and dolphins and then 'playing with hooks in the wounds'.

    "The animals lie with wounds and nearly severed heads," but parents encourage their children to see the show even more closely. There are those who take photographs, who even sit next to the defenseless body ”, reads the survey.

    Is it possible that any kind of empathy towards animals has been lost and so much brutality is confirmed?

    According to the Danish authorities, this type of hunting would even be sustainable, given the number of whales present. As such, the Sea Shepherd undercover visit was not greeted positively by the local government.
