🚨54 white-sided dolphins killed today at Skálafjørður in the Faroe Islands in the latest Grindadrap. 🇫🇴🩸

There is absolutely no excuse for a modern, wealthy country to be continuing with such archaic and barbaric animal cruelty in the 21st century.

🚨Grind Alert

A grindadrap took place at Tjørnuvík, Faroe Islands yesterday.

This is not tradition. Many other cultures that previously used drive hunts have moved away from this barbarism. It is a shameful bloodsport.
