The Grindadráp
In the Faroe Islands, the grindadráp drives pods of pilot whales into shallow bays, where they are killed and their meat and blubber distributed. Faroese defenders describe a regulated communal food tradition reaching back centuries; opponents condemn the suffering and killing of highly social cetaceans. Images of bays turned red have made the hunt internationally notorious, while Sea Shepherd campaigns have intensified pressure for its abolition. #whaling
