The sea turns red with the blood of slaughtered pilot whales as Faroe Islanders drive hundreds of them into shallows and butcher them with knives in horrific 'grindadrap' hunt
GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING: The sea has turned red with blood (pictured) after Faroe Islanders slaughtered pilot whales yet again, driving hundreds of them into shallows and butchering them with knives in a horrific 'grindadrap' hunt. The fisherman resumed its controversial hunt in May and since then, Denmark's autonomous territory in the north Atlantic has killed more than 500 Long-finned pilot whales, officials there said today. In the Faroese tradition known as 'grindadrap', or 'grind' for short, hunters surround pilot whales and dolphins with a wide semi-circle of fishing boats and drive them into a shallow bay where they are beached.
