Known as the grindadráp, the brutal slaughtering of pilots whales in the Danish owned Faroe Islands took place again yesterday. As many as 50 pilot whales were reportedly massacred as locals used spinal lances to slay all of the pilot whales.
As the innocent whales are forced to swim towards the beaches, the locals begin to run down from the jetty towards the sea.
The Faroese have been carrying out the annual hunt for hundreds of years, and although whaling is illegal in Denmark, it is allowed in the Faroe Islands.
Each year, this horrendous event is carried out across the archipelago of the Faroes Island.
