Strong tradition in the Faroe Islands (North Atlantic archipelago under Danish rule) giant dolphin hunts and other marine mammals It caused a worldwide wave of protests in the summer last year. Thus, at least 1,428 dolphins were caught in one day.
it is images the many cetaceans that fill the docks and paint the waters of the sea red They strongly influenced society, so as a result of complaints, the European Union soon asked Denmark to put an end to this tradition.
Mass hunting of white-faced dolphins and pilot whales is justified by island authorities as a food source for the population (although the hunted prey already exceeds these needs).
In any case, the Prime Minister of Faroese Steig Nielsen announced that his government had started an “evaluation” process to try to regulate these seizures, and although the authorities never took notice of this massive arrest ban, they eventually made the commitment. restrict.
Special, The number of dolphins that can be caught in 2022 and 2023 is limited to 500 samplesHowever, a decision that did not satisfy entities like Sea Shepherd, who demanded that this “slaughter” stop from the Faroe Islands, was increasingly rejected by the islanders.
Now, despite the restrictions imposed, this entity released a video showing how the dismembered remains of more than a hundred dolphins were thrown into the sea out of a cliff.
This fact shows that, according to environmentalists: Banning mass hunting of cetaceans still necessarybecause, as the video proves, its remains are often thrown into the sea without any practical use.
The video was posted to YouTube by Sea Shepherd on July 18.
